It was at the age of five, when she was inadvertently left behind in a snowstorm on the Brenner Pass, that Diana Graves first became aware of the hazards of foreign travel. Since then she has spent most of her life travelling abroad and by some mischance there has not been the smallest improvement in her circumstances.

Three eye-witness accounts of famous battlefields
2-Bull Run, 1861
Taken from ' My Civil War Diary' by William Howard Russell
Reader, Howard Marion-Crawford
At the opening of the Civil War, William Howard Russell was in the United States as correspondent for The Times. Returning to Washington, he heard rumours of fighting south of the city and rode out to investigate. The fighting turned out to be the first Battle of Bull Run, and the despatch he wrote on this occasion earned him for the rest of his life the title of ' Bull Run ' Russell.

Fricker's Piano Concerto is dedicated to Harriet Cohen, at whose suggestion it was written; and it was she who played it for the first time, in the year of its completion, 1954. Recently the composer has revised it, and tonight we shall hear the first performance of the new version. The orchestra is a comparatively small one, consisting of double woodwind, two trumpets, two horns, timpani, and strings. The work is in three movements. Deryck Cooke
