Johannes Lieske was born at Insterburg in East Prussia in 1907. After studying at Konigsberg and Bonn, he was appointed conductor of the University Choir and Orchestra at Bonn, and in 1932 he gave concerts in London, Oxford, and Winchester, and in the same year conducted a programme of songs broadcast by the Bonn Student Singers.

The story of Antar as musically illustrated by Rimsky-Korsakov in this symphonic poem, one of his early works, runs briefly as follows:
Antar, a somewhat Byronic figure.
'has retired to the desert, hating his fellows and disgusted with the world. He rescues a gazelle from the clutches of a monstrous bird. The gazelle turns out to be the Fairy Queen, Gul-Nazar, who, in gratitude, appears to Antar in a dream and promises him life's greatest joys.
In the second movement Antar, granted the Joy of Vengeance, proceeds to make use of it. The music is brassy and ferocious.
In the third movement Antar is experiencing the Joy of Power. The music is triumphant and brilliantly coloured, in the style of a march.
The fourth movement is taken up with the Joy of Love, to which Antar surrenders himself in the arms of Gul-Nazar herself. In the end he dies, intoxicated with love, in her embrace.
One or two of the tunes employed by the composer in the course of the work are genuine Arab melodies.

Nationality in music is an elusive quality, going far deeper than interest in folk music (which seems to be looked upon by some people as the only hall-mark of ' nationalism '). It is almost impossible to say just what it is that is so essentially French in the charming, delicate art of Francois Couperin. We only know that we recognise it again in the music of Debussy and Ravel two centuries later-and nowhere else.
The ' Concerts royaux ', published in 1722, mark Couperin's highest achievement in the field of instrumental ensemble music. In them, as Georges Migot says, he ' attained to the complete expression of his genius. He knew that music must consist of sonorities made to be heard and not read ... his material is beautiful, pliant, full, and iridescent.
It has been said that Porpora was the greatest singing master that ever lived. A contemporary of Handel's, he spent two or three years of his erratic career in London, directing an operatic enterprise in opposition to Handel's, in which he had the backing of a good part of influential London. None of his own operas, however, has survived, although he is supposed to have composed no fewer than thirty-three, as well as numerous oratorios, masses, and smaller vocal and instrumental pieces. It is in some of these last that his best qualities are displayed, and this melodious sonata is a good example of his style.
