Bernard van Dieren was born In Holland in 1888, of a partly Dutch and partly French family. At the age of twenty-one he settled in London, where he died in 1936. Though a great personal friend and admirer of Busonf, he developed a very individual style which is largely contrapuntal. His works show great sensitivity and a wide power of lyrical expression. They include two symphonies, six string quartets, and a great deal of vocal music
John Green talks about Thomas Bates , the famous breeder of Shorthorn cattle during and after the Napoleonic Wars. He considers why Bates's name has lived and why his families of cattle are still famous a century after his death
