THIS sonata seems actually to picture summer, as indeed it should, for it was written by the Lake of Thun during months of sunshine in 1886. For that reason it is known as the ' Thun ' Sonata, and is generally accepted as the finest of the three that Brahms wrote. During that summer, the Widmanns, friends of Brahms, were at Bern, not far off, and they oiten made visits to one another. The Widmanns, in fact, kept open house, and many musical people were to be met there. It was at the house at Bern that this sonata was first performed. Widmann himself was so impressed that he wrote and inscribed a poem to the work.

Meryton are curious about the eligible young bachelor, Mr. Bingloy, who has just occupied Nctherfield Park. The Bonnets, with five unmarried daughters, are among the first to call. Elizabeth Bennct , one of the most charming heroines in English fiction, has walked over to Netherfield and been pressed to stay the night. The impression she makes on Mr. Darcy, Bingley's haughty friend, is. not unobserved. The quiet wit of this eighteenth-century comedy makes for pleasant listening.

This year it is ' 'The Auld Alliance,' a musical and dramatic narrative, in celebration of the traditional friendship between France and Scotland. It draws on historical ties and on the subtle similarities in manners, speech, and life between the peoples of the two countries for both the music and sketches in this novel and attractive programme.

DAVID BRYNLEY (Tenor)
NORMAN NOTLEY (Baritone)
JEAN POUGNET (Violin)
DAVID BRYNLEY, like many another natural tenor, comes from Wales. He was born in 1902 at Laugharne, a little town on the banks of the Towy, in Carmarthenshire. One
day Raymond Jeremy , the viola and quartet player, beard him there and brought him to London to study. His first important concert was that given by the promoters of the Gervase Elwes Fund and there he had his first important success. He has since appeared not only on the concert platforms of London and the provinces, but on the stage at the Everyman Theatre in Arne's Love in a Village and with the Phoenix Society. His programmes are usually distinguished by their preference for folk songs, pastorals, and the pre-romantic type of ballad.
NORMAN NOTLEY'S career as a recital singer has been twice interrupted. He was born in Hastings in 1890, and in due course studied analytical chemistry at London University. The only result of that was that he became a singer, ! and at twenty-four was appointed head of the vocal department at the McGill University Conservatorium of Music at Montreal. Then came his first interruption—the war. After demobilisation he began again in London, and with every success. In 1921 he was appointed Professor at the Royal College of Music in London, and in 1924 came his second interruption. In that year he joined the English Singers, that famous pioneer choir of modern madrigalists, made extensive tours with them and helped, as the baritone of the party, to make fresh musical history by a revival of much glorious music of past ages presented in a form and manner that are in themselves an echo of history.
