Part 1
' Iberia ' is in three distinct movements (though the second passes without a break into the third): 'In Highways and" Byways,' ' Perfumes of the Night.' and ' Festival Morning.' This work alone should kill the idea, if it survives, that Debussy was a master only of half-lights, haze, and colour effects of shot silk. The whole piece glows with warmth and light and exuberant vitality
Harold Hobson , the dramatic critic, comments on this week's dramatic productions in the Third Programme. He deals principally with Leonard Cottrell 's Feature, ' The Pharaoh Akhnaton ,' and with ' No War in Troy ' by Jean Giraudoux
