Conducted by Mr. EDGAR BAINTON and Sir DAN GODFREY
Soloist, EDGAR BAINTON
BAINTON is a composer well known in the North (his home is in Newcastle). His Concerto-Fantasia, which won one of the Carnegie Trust's awards, is in four Movements, preceded by a Cadenza for the solo instrument, and ending in an Epilogue. The Cadenza forms a central feature of the work, appearing four times in the course of its development. The four Movements are marked thus : (I)
In Cadenza style, followed by Slow and expressive (this soon leads to a portion at double the speed);
.(2) Scherzo-very lively; (3) Improvisation-at a very moderate pace ; (4) Quick and very rhythmical; Epilogue.
(1) Quick and bold ; (2) Slow ; (3) Moderately quick; (4) Quick

THE ORCHESTRA, conducted by PAUL RIMMER THE Overture reminds us of both the sombre and the gay sides of the story of Don Juan. Its slow Introduction utilizes themes associated in the Opera with the man whom Don Juan has murdered and the statue which comes to life and drags the murderer down to eternal punishment. Solemn chords on Woodwind and Brass are heard above eerie String passages. Sudden commanding interjections, followed by soft tiptoeings, create an atmosphere of strangeness and fear. The main body of the Overture (a quick movement) takes us back to the Don's days of unalloyed delight in amorous adventure.
