Symphony No. 4 in G played by the BBC Scottish Orchestra
Leader, J. Mouland Begbie
Conductor, Ian Whyte
Dvorak's Symphony No. 4, in G, completed in 1889, is one of the Czech master's loveliest and most idyllic works. Like many of his later compositions, it is simpler and more light-hearted than those of his middle period, which are often akin to Brahms both technically and in their seriousness of mood.

A radio dramatisation of the work of the Fleet Air Arm, as typified by an attack on part of the Italian Navy
Script by Terence Horsley
Produced by Cecil McGivern
A high light in this programme, which will give listeners a vivid picture of the work of the torpedo-carriers, dive-bombers, and fighters of the Fleet Air Arm, is an impression of an attack on a part of the Italian Navy by Fleet Air Arm dive-bombers and torpedo-carriers, with emphasis on the work of the torpedo-carrying aircraft.
This work is highly skilled, and involves probably the most perilous operational dive in aerial warfare. The pilot must fly straight and level through a hell of anti-aircraft shells, and he must continue on that course until he reaches the exact place to launch his torpedo. It is then a question of, as the pilots themselves say, ' Getting to hell out of it as best you can'. That they do first reach the place can best be testified by the Italian Navy.

Quintet for strings and piano, Op. 84 played by the New String Quartet:
Daniel Melsa (violin)
Norman Chappie (violin)
Leonard Rubens (viola)
George Roth (cello) and Maurice Cole (piano)
In the spring of 1918 Elgir went to live in a cottage at Fitt!eworth, Sussex, and his first creative impulse was to* turn his attention for the first time to chamber music. The result was a sonata for violin and piano, a string quartet, and the piano quintet to be hcard tonight. The Quintet is undoubiedly the best of these three works. It is designed on a larger scale and contains some of Elgar's most thoughtful music.
