Part 1: Frank Martin
Concerto for seven, wind Instruments, strings, and percussion
by Niniani Smart
Lecturer in the History and Philosophy of Religion King's College, London
Mr. Smart considers why it is that a growing number of people in the West -and not least in this country-reject the religious tradition of their own Christian civilisation in favour of what the East has to offer them.
Part 2: Bruckner
SYMPHONY No. 5, in B flat
Illustrated talk by Denis Matthewa
