MUSIC AND THE FAUST LEGEND
OF the shadowy figure of the historical Faust little is known. Perhaps he only sought wisdom in an age where wisdom was suspect, but from the thin and conflicting legends about his powers and his pact with the devil some of the most dramatic literature and music in the world has sprung. Starting on Sunday, July 14, at 10.11 p.m., 3¥YC will be broadcasting a series of five programmes of music based on the Faust legend. The works to be played in this series are by Wagner, Schubert, Liszt, Gounod, Berlioz, Boito, Mendelssohn, and Mahler. The other four programmes will be heard on July 21; and August 4, 11, and 18. .
