Symphony No. 1, in C played, by the BBC Scottish Orchestra, conductor, Ian Whyte
Beethoven's First Symphony follows the tradition of Haydn. When it was first performed in 1800 it shocked conservative musicians of the day by beginning out of the key. The theme of the second movement is unusually sprightly for a slow movement. The Minuet is really a typical Beethoven scherzo. The finale starts with a joke ; violins gradually and hesitatingly build up a scale which leads into a movement of the utmost high spirits.

The Singers: Paula Green and John Duncan
BBC Revue Chorus and the augmented Dance Orchestra, conducted by Billy Ternent

This musical play provides a little exercise in the art of bluff. It is, in fact, bluff and bally-hoo in the grand manner that, as the central theme of the play, launches a completely non-existent novel upon the eager market. The whispering campaign is an old device in the advertising world, though the advertisers at least have something to whisper about.

The play is naturally enough a light-hearted affair with, as is so often the case in such pieces, a bet as its foundation.

Quartet in D minor (Voces Intimae),
Op. 56 played by the Griller String Quartet: Sidney Griller (violin) ; Jack O'Brien (violin) ; Philip Burton (viola); Colin Hampton (cello)
Although Sibelius was intensely interested in chamber music during his early days, he has written only three chamber works : a String Quartet in B flat, which is still in MS. (1890). the String Quartet 'Voces Intimae'. (1909), and '-Suite Mignonne ' for two flutes and strings (1921).
' Voces Intimae was partly written in 1908 while Sibelius was staying in London. It is a tine and characteristic work, the most striking feature of which, says Cecil Gray in his monograph on the composer, ' is the extreme prevalence of conjunct motion-almost the entire thematic material of all five movements is built up from fragments of scale passage '.
