DESERT ISLAND MUSIC
Sir,-Perhaps the list of musical composition chosen by one who is virtually isolated in the Pacific will be of interest. I have the island (or should I say the island’s got me?) plus the keenness; all I want is some records. Even if they don’t turn up the mere contemplation of such gems as I have listed affords me endless pleasure, I have complied with correspondent D. Scott’s suggestion to nominate no mere than two works by the same composer together with his other stipulations. They read: Purcell: Suite for Strings. Handel: "Faith. ful Shepherd," "Water Music," Mozart: "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," Clarinet Concerto. Bach: "Chaconne," Violin Concerto No. 2, Haydn: "Oxford Symphony," "Clock Symphony." Beethoven: Fifth Symphony, "Em- " Concerto. Mendelssohn: "Fingal’s Cave." Schubert: "Unfinished" Symphony, "Trout" Quintet. Schumann: Symphony No. 1 ("Spring"). Schumann: "Carnaval" Suite. Tchaikovski: "Swan Lake." Edward German: "English Dances." Stravinsky: "The Fire Bird." Grieg: Piano Concerto.
