The Isidore Schwiller String Octet: Isidore Schwiller (violin); Andrew Brown (violin); Ronald Onley (violin); Gerald Emms (violin); Douglas Thomson (viola); Horace Ayckbourn (viola); Maurice Westerby (violoncello); Paul Talagrand (violoncello)

Max Bruch, whose Violin Concerto in G minor is known to all violinists, and whose 'Kol Nidrei' is equally familiar to 'cellists, was made an Honorary Doctor of Music in the University of Cambridge, and all his life he was very proud of this distinction. He had a great admiration for Scottish and Welsh folk music, of which he published several arrangements for male and mixed choruses. Bruch died in 1920. His String Octet, which is receiving its first performance this afternoon, is still in manuscript. It was dedicated to Professor Willy Hess, of the Manchester Royal College of Music, who owned the performing rights until he ceded them about a year ago to Max Bruch's son and daughter-in-law.

Flowers and their Perfumes
H. S. Redgrove
The aspect of the garden to be discussed today is its fragrance-the fragrance of flowers, aromatic leaves, and so forth. H. S. Redgrove , author of ' Scent and All About It ', is a chemist whose business lies largely with the perfume industry. He has many interesting things to say about flowers and perfumes: for instance, he tells us that the essential oils of many flowers are more powerfully antiseptic than carbolic, and we ought to grow more aromatic
