John Davie
The journey that John Davie will describe to listeners this afternoon is one that few white men have been privileged to make. For Europeans are allowed to cross the Bhutanese frontier only at the invitation of the Maharaja—and that invitation is seldom given.
In the course of his 200-mile journey from Sikkim across southern Tibet, Mr. Davie heard Tibetan horns that produce a sound like an aeroplane engine's (he will play one in the studio) ; visited the highest town in the world (where it is so cold that the people never remove their clothes, and where all the refuse is thrown in the narrow streets); and saw a lama with a goitre the size of a football.

A generation which is apt to look rather patronizingly on Mendelssohn's chamber music may well be reminded of a tribute by the late W.W. Cobbett. He says 'Mendelssohn has helped to lead many a music lover from a lower to a higher plane of musical thought, and if his detractors allow, he will lead many another in times to come.' Mendelssohn composed two sonatas for cello and piano, as well as a brilliant set of variations, for the same combination, which are dedicated to his brother Paul.
