Programme recorded in Essex by the BBC Mobile Recording Unit
Many readers of the RADIO TIMES will remember John Pudney 's article some weeks ago in which he described the coming of electricity to the remote Essex village in which he lives. Here is a programme recording that event, and it is a programme with a big and interesting difference. Inside the framework of Pudney's own script have been put the voices of the country folk whom the new electricity has affected. The villagers ' played ' splendidly, and the programme should provide first-rate comment on a phase of English country life.
In the television studios tonight listening to this programme will be some of the villagers who took part in it, so that the effect upon them of hearing their own voices will he seen by viewers.
Sonata in G minor, Op. 19, for violoncello and pianoforte
1 Lento — Allegro moderato. 2 Allegro scherzando. 3 Andante. 4 Allegro mosso played by Antoni Sala (violoncello)
Gerald Moore (pianoforte)
Rachmaninoff's Sonata for cello and piano belongs to that group of fine works, such as the Symphony No. 2 in E minor and the Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, written at the turn of the present century, all of which show a curious thematic relationship, particularly in the case of the C minor Piano Concerto and the Cello Sonata.
The Cello Sonata is said to be one of the most popular of Rachmaninoff's compositions with his compatriots. It is beautifully written for both instruments, and the music is characteristically lyrical in style and sombre in mood.
