Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini was begun on July 3, 1934, at the composer's summer retreat on the lake of Lucerne. On August 24 it was completed, and in less than seven weeks Rachmaninoff was in Philadelphia, and, with the co-operation of Stokowski, his new work had its first reading in the foyer of the Philadelphia Academy of Music. It was first heard in London in March, 1935, at a Philharmonic Concert under Sir Thomas Beecham , with Rachmaninoff as soloist. The Rhapsody is in variation form, the theme being the one that Brahms used for his Paganini Variations for piano.

The story of a Norwegian soldier, by D. G. Bridson
This programme tells the story of a Norwegian soldier's experiences from the time of the Nazi invasion of his country in April last year to the time of the Lofoten raid. It is a story which, though fictional, is actually based upon fact, and is set against the changing panorama of the Norwegian mountains and fjords
It is intended to give a picture of life in one of the occupied countries and also of the spirited resistance which the Germans are finding it so difficult to crush.
