Ansell 9.35 Recordings: Elisabeth Schumann (soprano) "Last Night" .... Kjerulf "Down in the Forest" Landon Ronald The late Sir Landon Ronald’s most popular song was a kind of musical afterthought. It comes from his song-cycle, called * The Cycle of Life,’’ and was included after the work had been approved and purchased by the publisher, Enoch. An additional song seemed to be called for in the middle of the album, and the author, Harold Simson, provided the verses, which Ronald set to music inside half-an-hour. Neither com-

poser nor publisher thought very much of the song, but luckily for them the public had other ideas on the’ subject. 9.41 The Studio Orchestra, "Phantom Brigade" Myddleton "Serenade Espagnole" Glazounov 9.45 Recordings: Dino Borgioli, "La Barcarola" ....
