' Der hausliche Krieg'
Singspiel in one act
Libretto by Ignaz Castelli
(sung in German) on gramophone records with a recorded introduction by Maurice J. E. Brown
Characters in order of singing:
Akademie Chamber Choir
Pro Musica Symphony Orchestra
CONDUCTED BY FERDINAND GROSSMAN
This work was never performed during Schubert's lifetime. At the first performance in 1861 at Frankfurt-am-Main, the librettist, then aged eighty, was present. He was amazed at the sparkle and charm of the music, having heard many years previously that Schubert had made a tedious and gloomy setting of his play. It is being broadcast this afternoon for the first time in this country.

PART 4 (Cantos 18-22)
Virgil explains to Dante the nature of love-the poets reach the fourth terrace of the Slothful, who expiate their sin by running ceaselessly-in the fifth terrace the poets meet the Avaricious and the Prodigal, who are bound prostrate upon the ground-Hugh Capet denounces the greed of his successors to the throne of France-Dante and Virgil meet Statius. the Roman poet, who having expiated his sin joins their company-the three poets come to the sixth terrace where the Gluttonous wait; painfully emaciated, these spirits are taunted by the sight of fruit and water that they cannot reach.
