From the Royal Albert Hall, London Rossini was twenty-one when his opera La Gazza Ladra (' The Thieving Magpie ') was produced in Milan in 1817. Stendhal, who was present, declared that it was the most successful first night he had ever attended.
Two loves, ' of comfort and despair,' are represented in the title of Fennimore and Gerda, Delius' last opera, based on a novel by the Danish writer Jacobsen and completed in 1910. It is Gerda whom Niels, the hero, turns to at the end, after his unrequited love for Fennimore. The Intermezzo conjures up a quiet pastoral scene towards the end of the opera.
It was at a concert of the Royal Philharmonic Society on April 21, 1948, that Vaughan Williams' Symphony in E minor was played for the first time. It was at once hailed as a masterpiece: one in which the tragic experiences of our day are transmuted into music both stirring and profound. Written by a man of seventy-five, it has abounding vitality and eloquence, and in the enigmatic Epilogue a strange beauty that is not of this world.
