8.8 app. A Survivor from Warsaw, for speaker, men's chorus, and orchestra
Arnold Schoenberg
When A Survivor from Warsaw was performed in New York in April last year the work made so striking an impression that it had to be repeated there and then. This also happened when it was given in Venice in September. Schoenberg, we are told, wrote the work ' under the immediate impact of the revelation... of the mass murder by the Nazis of a group of Jews in Warsaw. The story is told, in words written by Schoenberg himself, by a narrator; and at the end a men's chorus sings an ancient Jewish hymn, 'Shema Ysroel.' The narrator's part is written on and around a single line, with notes indicating the rhythm and the rise and fall of the voice rather than any particular pitch. A recording of the work made in Italy was broadcast in the Third Programme in January; this is the first concert performance in this country. H. R.

OF CIVIL WAR
Some reflections by Thucydides
Read by Harman Grisewood from the translation by Duncan Wilson
In the third book of his history of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides comments on rhe nature of the civil disturbances that broke out in many of the cities of Greece during the course of the war. The passage is a classic analysis of how the violence of party strife can shatter the normal standards of human behaviour.
