That is why this work may be styled "Clara’s Concerto" -it will always be associated with the woman who for many years featured it in her repertoire. 3.34 5. 0 Selected recordings Children’s. service, conducted by Rev.

7.45 Selected recordings 830 MUSIC FROM THE THEATRE "OTHELLO," by Verdi Act 1 Sixteen years after "Aida’’ had seemed to be the crowning glory of Verdi’s long musical career, the composer astonished the musical world with ‘ Othello," At the age of 74, he showed beyond all doubt that the flerce creative spirit which burned. within him was not only alive but glowing brightly. In the 16-year interval Verdi had kept close touch with the development of music. ‘‘ Othello," therefore, is essentially modern in spirit and technique. The characterisation is brilliant; there are no set airs or ensembles, the scenes fusing into each other without a break. Verdi, greatly daring, successfully achieved what few have

attempted; he measured skill with Shakespeare himself, for the libretto of "Othello" was adapted by Boito from Shakespeare’s play. 8. 0 Daventry news 9.10 Dominion and district weather reports and station notices 9.15 Continuation of presentation of opera, "OTHELLO" Acts 2, 3 and 4 10.30 Close of normal programme.
