Part 2

Illustrated talk by Colette de Veyrac
The secretary of the International Music Circle in Geneva talks about Ars Rediviva , the group of players who gained a European reputation for their stylish performances of eighteenth-century music. Many of the players, with their director Claude Crussard , were killed in an air crash in 1947. The records, including Couperin's ' L'A-trée,' D'Andricu's ' Suite en quatuor,' and Guillemain's ' Conversations galantes,' have been lent by Radio Lausanne.

In a collection of sermons on the Canticles by St. Bernard of Clairvaux there is one different from the rest. After a formal opening it departs from the usual theme and gives a panegyric of his brother Gerard, who had recently died. A translation by the Rev. J. R. Wing-field Digby is read by Carleton Hobbs.
