"Concerto in A Minor" for : Violin and Orchestra .. Bach Played by Yehudi Menuhin and Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Georges Enesco "L’Arlesienne Suite No. 1" Bizet Played by the ,London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham The story of Dandet’s play, " The Maid of Arles" for which this incidental music Was composed, relates how a young Pro-

vencal farmer is torn between a passion for a dancer of Arles, a neighbouring town, and his repulsion against what he realises has been her life in the past. He cannot forget her, nor can he overlook her unworthiness, and he takes his own life as a way out of his tragic dilemma. The Prelude epitomises the dramatic elements of the play; the Adagietto accompanies the meeting of the hero’s mother and her former lover whom she has not seen for fifty years. 8.40 TALK by G. S.
