AGRICULTURAL SHOW

AND TURGENEV PLAY

"Professional Portrait", Radio Hongkong's series of fec

tures about the work of Government officers, ends on Tuesday evening with "Air Traffic Controller."

Victor Price, who has pro- duced the series, went out to Kal Tak on an overcast day of this month to find out exactly how arriving and departing air- craft are dealt with at a large International airport, especially when the weather is poor. 'In the feature he concentrates in particular on two planes, ono about to take off, the other to land. He follows the pilot of the first through his briefing and take-off, and the second through Its approach, and landing, The second plane had to make a radar-amisted landing, and the programme ends with a genuine "talk-down," recorded at Hong- kong International Airport,

TURGENEV PLAY: Monday, 9.15 pm-in "A Month in the Country." Turgenev tells the story of Natalia Petrovna, the wife of a rich landowner who is struck by an agonising Infatua tion for her son's handsome young, tutor, Belizev.

In the BBC adaptation for radio, Natalia Petrovna is played by Gwen Ffrangcon-Davis, who has the kind of voice that can convey sublimely the muted colours of conflicting emotions

Turgenev's' acute powers of observation for mood and local colour makes the country house, the setting of the play, and those who live in it, vividly real, Through his insight into the na- ture of woman, the characters of both Natalia

and Petrovna her ward Vera, who also falls in love with Bellaev, are por. trayed with deep understanding. Netrassov the poet says of Tur genev's plays "Things more gracious and artistic are not to be found in contemporary Russian Iitérature."

THREE SCORE-AND THEN?: Thursday, 8.30 pm—In this BBC programme, four experts оп social welfare, with special res ference to the problems of old age, discuss some of the difficul- ties and also describe some re- cent Investigations into the gub- ject of retirement,

The experts are Marjoris Bucke, Secretary of the National Old People's Welfare Council, Dr Alastair Heron, of the University of Liverpool, W. A. Anderson, of the Calouste Gulbenkian Founda. tion, and Prof. R. E. Tunbridge, of the University of Leeds. The discussion is chaired by Percy Cudlipp, -editor of the "New Scientist"

DER FREISCHUTZ: Friday, 8.30 pm (F.M. Only)—On Fri- day evening our FM Transmis slon will carry a complete per- formance of Weber's opera "Der : Frelschutz"

Weber, was the founder of the German romantic school of opera, a school which reached its zenith with Wagner, and its cul- mination with Richard StrausA. "Der Freischutz" Is Weber's most significant work, and apart from its own musical merit, it played an important part in the 'development of opera.

In accordance with the Ger. man Romantics' predilection for legendary subjects, "Der Freis- chutz" is about the marksman who shoots with charmed bullets.

In Friday evening's perfor

the cast is led by Irmgard Seefried, Rita Streich and Kurt Bohme, with Eugène Jochum conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
