Barely twelve years ago an Australian girl, whose grandparents had come from England, won a singing scholarship at Adelaide to the R.C.M. in London. A year or two later she went to Sadler's Wells for an audition, but was turned down. Yet she was destined to be sent for by them and to become one of their luckiest finds... In a very few years Ruth Naylor has won recognition as one of the best of our younger prima donnas.
Even when she was established over here as an opera singer she insisted that further study was necessary, and, obtaining release from her contracts, she spent a year on the Continent singing in French, German, and Italian. She studied French opera in Paris with Madame Cecile Gilly , and while doing so frequently came over to this country to broadcast.

Glazunov's symphonic poem
Stenka Razin ,' written in 1885 when the composer wastwenty,takesitsnamefromthehero of the story that the music illustrates.
Stenka Razin was a robber chieftain, who terrorised a wide area of the Volga valley.
His own vessel was regal in splendour its sails were silk, its oars gold, and in pavilion on the deck, surrounded by every mark of opulence. lay a Persian princess,
Stenka's captive and mistress. One day she told his men of a dream, in which Stenka had been shot and all his band put to death, while she herself perished in the waves of the Volga.
Her dream came true. Stenka was surrounded by the Tsar's troops and death or surrender were the only alternatives. Calling his men, he cried ' Never, through all the thirty years of my career, have 1 offered a gift to the Volga. Today I give it what is for me the most precious of all the treasures of the earth.' He hurled the princess into the stream, his warriors raised a song in his glory, and then all flung themselves upon the imperial troops.
