Missing

Well.  I enjoyed the 'Comedy Prom' on the radio last night.  But there was a a name missing.  They played Franz Reizenstein's 'Concerto Popolare' (misspelt in some of the literature), and jolly good it was, too.  But, and but again, they could have noted that it was written for the first of the Hoffnung Concerts in 1956.  A piece of history - and a precursor - that they seemed to have forgotten.
