Turina is known as the composer of a brilliant orchestral study ' The Procession of the Rocio ' and of a number of very melodious and colourful chamber works.

No figure of the London theatre is more competent to compile its recent history than Giles Playfair , as most listeners will agree who heard the first two programmes in this series. In these, Plavfair covered the Great War period of revue and spectacular musical comedy...
A wide selection of musical illustrations will once more be played, ranging from that great
Albert de Courville show Joy Bells to Mozart's Marriage of Figaro. This opera, incidentally, was produced for
Sir Thomas Beecham by the late Sir Nigel Playfair.
