Conductor, E. Godfrey Brown

A Distinguished Conductor and Composer, Felix Weingartner, one of the most distinguished of German conductors, was born in 1863, studied at the Leipzig Conservatorium, and later under Liszt at Weimar. During his long career Weingartner has held some of the most important conducting posts, both opera and symphony, in Germany and Austria. As a frequent visiting conductor for over thirty years in England, America and elsewhere, he is no less esteemed and admired. In addition, Weingartner has written about a dozen important literary works, and his musical compositions include several large-scale operas, five symphonies, and a Violin Concerto. His technique is based on .the solid foundations of the classical masters, and the idiom and style of his music, as one would expect, is essentially eclectic.

'A Night at Carlstein'
The Czech composer Zdenko Fibich (1850-1900) wrote about 700 works, including a series of 350 piano pieces in the form of a musical diary entitled 'Moods, Impressions, and Memories'. With the exception of one of these pieces, 'Poem' (popularised by Kubelik in a transcription for violin), Fibich's music is practically unknown in England. His orchestral works consist of three symphonies, five concert overtures, and six symphonic poems. The overture 'A Night at Carlstein', a melodious, colourful, and clearly designed little work, was inspired by a comedy by the Czech national poet Vrchlicky.

In this broadcast the following points will be dealt with : the return of the swift and swallows ; their preparations for nest building and the rearing of the young; and the return of the cuckoo, and some curious facts about this bird, such as its habit of laying eggs in other birds' nests. In addition, Mr. Gaddum will talk about the return of the nightingale and about its family life.
Teachers will find it helpful to have illustrations of a swallow, swift, cuckoo, and nightingale, to show their classes.

Some critics have held that chamber music was not Delius's true medium of expression. It is true that he moved uncomfortably within the limits of the classical forms that have become more or less de rigueur in chamber music, but he wrote few things more characteristic than this Second Quartet, composed in 1916. The wistful slow movement, ' Late Swallows ', in particular is saturated with Delius's absolutely individual poetry.

Tonight Mr. Maurice Denny , chairman of the famous shipbuilding firm of Dumbarton, is to speak about the problems with which a ship designer is faced. The ship designer is ordered by the shipowner to build a ship which is to carry so many tons of cargo at a draught of so many feet, and at a speed of so many knots. Mr. Denny will show how such problems are worked out by the designer before the ship is put in hand. He will explode the popular fallacy about stream-lining ships and show in what proportion the power developed by the propeller is used up in overcoming air resistance and water resistance, and in wave-making.
