A short story by J. Jefferson Farjeon read by Philip Cunningham
(First broadcast in the National programme on July 4)
'The voice of your telephone bell at 2 a.m. is entirely different from its voice at 2 p.m. It lacks the familiar note of security. It intrudes on comfort, introducing a disturbing sense of the unknown--of illness, accident, or worse ....
' I jumped out of bed..... I was alone in the house..... The telephone was in the passage. I seized the receiver .... In a hoarse whisper came the words : " Quick! For God's sake! Five, Endale Crescent ".'

AUBREY BRAIN
Richard Strauss 's father, Franz Strauss , was the first horn player in the Munich Opera Orchestra, so that it was natural the son should know a good deal about the instrument. The Horn Concerto is an early work written in his student days, when he was about seventeen. He composed a symphony at about the same time, which, though it was never published, has been several times performed, notably in England in 1896. Neither work quite reveals or quite conceals the later Strauss of ' Till Eulenspiegel' and ' Ein Helden leben'.
