For This Relief
HE holidays provided a wealth of radio entertainment-not only the cricket and racing commentaries always with us on our holidays, but also considerable relief in the form of well arranged musical programmes, documéntaties and plays. Among so much richness it is difficult to select a single programme for comment-perhaps the Brahms programme on January 2 (Tragic Ovefture, Violin Concerto and Third Symphony, all beautifully performed) or the Beethoven Missa Solemnis or the Elgar programme. But this is to disregard the excellent music | heard from 4YA on Christmas morning and 4YC at night. The Morning Stars, too, seemed of particular beauty. Best of all was the recognition that we do not die mentally from a surfeit of lamb. "Book Shop" did not put up its shutters, Professor Musgrove continued his series on the English poets, Owen Jensen, The
World of Opera, Musical Notebook and the Canterbury Tales appeared in their places with much-appreciated regularity.
