Isabella Horn and Margaret Ryan
In the world after the war few amenities are anticipated more keenly than the ' home perfect This, it is hoped will arise from the ruins of Britain's cities. How will the interior workings of these homes run? How will they differ from those of today? These are the points that will be debated this morning.
Isabella Horn is an advocate of communal amenities, while
Margaret Ryan looks for better-planned and more intelligent housekeeping on the part of the individual.

Quejas e la maja y el ruisenor (The maja and the nightingale) played by Iris Loveridge (piano)
Granados's series of piano pieces ' Goyescas ' was inspired by a drawing by the famous Spanish artist Goya, and has the sub-title ' Los majos enamorados' (The love-sick gallants). Each piece has its own title: the first, ' Gallantries ', depicts a man and a woman indulging in the highly conventionalised art of Spanish love-making.
The ' Coloquio on la reja ' means
' Conversation at the barred window ' and is a love duet. ' El fandango de candil ' portrays the dancing of the fandango by the light of a lamp. The last is the best known of the set arid is often played separately.

Kathleen Long (piano) KATHLEEN LONG AND ORCHESTRA
Kathleen Long , who won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music at the age of thirteen, was one of the first to broadcast from Savoy Hill.
In 1937, she paid her first visit to the United States and Canada, and made a great success when she . broadcast from Montreal. Apart from her solo work she is pianist with the English Ensemble, and has also been heard at the microphone in sonata recitals with Adila Fachiri. KATHLEEN LONG AND ORCHESTRA
Faure's Ballade in F sharp was composed in 1880 when Faure was thirty-five years of age and was in the throes of Wagner worship (nevertheless he never allowed himself to be influenced by Wagner). It is said that the Ballade was written after witnessing the famous forest scene in Wagner's Siegfried. The music is certainly dreamy and pastoral in character with an allegro middle section that exploits, in Cortot's words, ' quicksilver virtuosity '.
Cortot also says that the music shimmers ' exquisitely with sunshine and light, turning the gentle melancholy of the night into a spring morning'. It is yet another fine example of Faure's genius. ORCHESTRA
