8.21 The Orchestra, conducted by Albert Coates, "Till’s Merry Pranks" R. Strauss Till is not just a legendary figure. He was born early in the 14th century, and lived near the Harz Mountains, in low GerImany. He came of peasant stock, and was wily, boorish, and class-prejudiced, but gifted with a remarkable wit and an irresistible love of fun. Till was a rogue, of course, but a merry one. His practical jokes as recorded in print are pawky, often pointless, nearly always unfortunate for the victim, but none the less amusing. 8.37 Jean Macfarlane (contralto), "Hark What I Tell To Thee" Haydn "Cradle Song" Mendelssohn "The Praise of God" Beethoven "Che Faro" (recit. and aria) Gluck 8.52 The Orchestra, conducted by Walter Goehr, "Karelia Suite," Op. 11 Sibelius Intermezzo Alla Marcia 9. 0 Daventry news 9.20 Weather report and station notices 9.25 Artur Schnabel and the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John Barbirolli, Concerto in B Flat Major Mozart Allegro Larghetto Allegro and Cadenza John Barbirolli was born in London in 1899.

He left the house, and returned with a ’cello which he had just purchased. That was how John Barbirolli came to play the ’cello. At the age of fourteen he was earning his own living by playing in restaueter theatres, cafes, and with dance yands, 10.0 MUSIC, MIRTH AND MELODY 11. O Close of normal programme.
