A choice of records for the under-twenties
Introduced by Derek Parker

The Young Idea
When The Young Idea first took the air in March it might have turned into just one more request programme - admittedly it had a definite age-limit, but there seemed no clear reason why musical taste should be closely geared to so arbitrary a division. The fact that this hasn't happened is both chastening and gratifying. Young people are, of course, always eager to identify themselves with the new - and that in a real spirit of enquiry - and already several have requested works that they admit they've never heard.
Most intriguing of all is the incidence of twentieth-century works. Music by Stravinsky, Britten, Shostakovich, and Roberto Gerhard has been requested repeatedly. Unfashionable composers like Vaughan Williams and Sibelius, as well as semi-fashionable ones like Bartok, figure prominently in the lists, and recent records of music by Bax and Tippett already have their vehement advocates.
Our prime need is for still more requests, big and small, normal and eccentric. We intend from time to time to include interviews with people whose choice seems especially interesting, so please let us know not only what you want to hear but why. (Stephen Walsh)
