Francis Russell (tenor)
Francis Russell has probably had as much microphone experience as any singer broadcasting, having broadcast first in 1922 from Savoy Hill.
Russell's mother was Welsh, and he spent his early life in South Wales, starting work in a coal mine at the age of twelve, and remaining there for ten years. While singing at a village concert he was heard by Lewys James , a well-known Welsh baritone, who gave him a three years' contract with the Royal Carl Rosa
Opera Company. He spent two years with the Company and afterwards understudied Courtice Pounds in the original production of Lilac Time in 1923. Later he studied in Italy, and in 1925 sang in his first International Season at Covent Garden, a performance that he repeated every year until 1932.

Symphony No. 7, in A
1 Poco sostenuto—Vivace. 2 Allegretto. 3 Presto-Presto meno assai. 4 Finale : Allegro con brio
Two outstanding examples of the light-hearted side of Beethoven are the Seventh and Eighth Symphonies, both of which were composed in 1812. That Beethoven had no intention of reflecting tragic emotions in these symphonies is proved by the fact that neither has a slow movement, the nearest approach to one being the Allegretto in the Seventh Symphony. But while this movement may be full of delicate poetic musings, it is certainly devoid of any tragic significance.
Beethoven himself called the Eighth
Symphony a ' Little Symphony' and although it is imbued from first to last with gay spirits and its texture is almost as light as a Haydn or Mozart symphony, it was no great success when it was first performed. The reason for this, said Beethoven, is ' because it is so much better than the other' (the No. 7, which was also given its first performance at the same time).
Referring to the Seventh Symphony Sir Donald Tovey has aptly pointed out that it ' is so overwhelmingly convincing and so obviously untranslatable, that it has for many generations been treated quite reasonably as a piece of music, instead of as an excuse for discussing the French Revolution '. Probably the best description of it is Wagner's famous ' the Apotheosis of the Dance-the Dance in its highest state ; the happiest realisation of the movements of the body in an ideal form '.
