Trio in D minor (Op. 32) played by the Bronkhurst Trio:
John Fry (violin)
Vera Canning (cello)
Henry Bronkhurst (piano)
Arensky (born at Novgorod in 1861) studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire where Rimsky-Korsakov taught him composition. He was appointed professor of harmony and counterpoint at the Moscow Conservatoire, and later became director to the Court Chapel at Petersburg. As a composer he has more in common with Tchaikovsky than with his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov.
The Trio in D minor is dedicated to the memory of the great cellist Charles Davidov. The work is full of sincere elegiac feeling and of fresh spontaneous melody.

Frank Green (baritone)
A section of the Halle Chorus
BBC Northern Orchestra
Leader, Laurance Turner
Conducted by Harold Dawber
Eric Fogg 's ballad ' The Hillside', for soprano, baritone, chorus, and orchestra, is based on words from ' The Gardener' by Rabindranath Tagore. After an orchestral prelude the opening chorus tells of a maiden who dwelt on the hillside, and of women who came to fill their jars of water at the stream. One evening a stranger came down from the mountains, one whose appearance brought fear to the hearts of those who saw him, and next morning the maiden had vanished. The women asked each other in dismay, ' Is there a land beyond these hills where we live ? '
The baritone solo then tells of a vision of the maiden who has vanished, and her own voice is heard describing the land where she is gone.
