A programme of gramophone records presented by JEdward Lockspeiser
Paul Verlaine belongs to the Symbolist school of French poets, and is particularly appreciated by English readers, chiefly because of the purely musical appeal of his verse. His poems, delicately sensuous and reflecting the wistful charm of pre-war France, have inspired some of the best songs of Debussy, Faure, Chausson, Deodat de Severac, Reynaldo Hahn, and several other composers, not all of them French.
Edward Lockspeiser , author of a life of Debussy, and an authority on French music, will speak about some of these songs, and he will also discuss Verlaine's extraordinary character, relating the man to his art. The programme will consist of gramophone records of songs by Debussy, Faure, and Reynaldo Hahn.

Although Frederic Curzon has been a cinema organist for eighteen years, he is probably better known to listeners as a composer of light orchestral music. During the past six years there have been over one thousand broadcast performances of his compositions.
Curzon is London-born, and his father was a keen amateur musician. As a very young boy he begged for a violin, and, after studying the piano as well, became accompanist at all his parents' musical evenings. He was one of the first to play a cinema organ, and was with Gaumont-British for twelve years.
In March last year he left the New Victoria Cinema to devote himself to composition. His best-known composition is his suite ' In Malaga
