In the middle of the last century Joachim Raff was generally considered one of the most important composers of the so-called ' new German school ', the school of Wagner and Liszt. At least two of his eleven symphonies—' Im Walde ' and ' Lenore '-for years formed part of the normal concert repertoire. Today Raff is almost completely-and somewhat unjustly-overlooked. His symphonies, hybrids born of the union of programme music with the traditional symphonic form, may not be masterpieces, but they are very interesting works, very typical of mid - nineteenth - century German romanticism, and well worth occasional revival.
The last four of the eleven are entitled respectively ' Sounds of Spring ', ' In Summer ', ' Autumn ', and ' Winter '. This last was left unfinished and had to be revised by Max Erdmannsdorfer. The titles of the separate movements are sufficient indication of the poetic basis of the Symphony, which is otherwise quite orthodox in form.

From the Russian Masters, 2 selected and presented by Lydia Lopokova
This is the second reading in this series by the famous ballcrina Lydia Lopokova whose characteristic it has been to tire of success and turn to something new. It is of interest that she was an original member of the ' Band-Box ' Players, who performed in a hall on 57th Street, New York, playing on sharing terms. Out of that small beginning they were to become the famous New York Theatre Guild.
Lopokova said goodbye to ballet after dancing one of her famous roles, the doll Swanilda in Co ppelia, for the Vie-Wells Ballet in 1932. The following year she appeared as Olivia in Twelfth Night at the Old Vie, and in 1934 gave a moving performance at the Arts Theatre as Nora Helmer in A Doll's House.
A short interview with Lydia Lopokova will be found on page 8
