Famous double acts, on records

Conducted by Joseph Lewis
Joseph Lewis is conducting four concerts this week, of which this is the first. For fifteen years Lewis was with the BBC, which he left in 1938, first as Musical Director of the Birmingham station and then, as a staff conductor. On leaving the BBC he formed his own orchestra which broadcast many times up to the outbreak of war.
For a period at the beginning of the war he was a guest conductor of the BBC Northern •Orchestra, so he will be paying a return visit this week.

The Symphony No. 2 in D, composed in 1902, shows Sibelius striking out on new lines. Although this symphony is cast in the usual four movements, each movement, particularly the first, is designed for the most part on new principles .of musical form. Instead of the announcement of two or three self-contained melodies that are developed and then restated, Sibelius begins with melodic fragments and then proceeds to combine them into a melodic whole in the course of the movement. The procedure is really the reverse of the classical and romantic methods of symphonic construction
