Part 1
Another perfomance: tomorrow (Home)
Lyapunov has been described as the last representative of the nineteenth-century nationalist school of composers in Russia. Born in 1859, he was a pupil of Nicholas Rubinstein , and later became a friend and disciple of Balakirev. After the Revolution he went to live in Paris, where he died in 1924. He wrote two symphonies and two piano concertos, the first of which is being played tonight. In one continuous movement, the work is Lisztian in its brilliance and effectiveness. H.R.

Part 2
Tonight's is the first of three performances of Moeran's Symphony in the Third Programme. The other performances will follow on October 24 and November 19. Begun in 1925 at the suggestion of Sir Hamilton Harty. to whom it is dedicated, the Symphony was completed twelve years later, in 1937. It was first performed at a Royal Philharmonic concert in the following year, under the direction of Leslie Heward. The opening movement, exhilarating and energetic for the most part, contains a broadly lyrical section of great beauty. The slow movement, a deeply-felt meditation (' conceived,' we are told, ' around the sand-dunes and marshes of East Norfolk '), is a Scherzo which, in the composer's words, forms ' a spring-like contrast to the wintry proceedings of the slow movement.' In the finale Irish rhythms are introduced and there is an impressive peroration.
