Except for a few private lessons,
Gustav Albert Lortzing , who was born in Berlin in 1801, was entirely self-taught. The son of an actor, he was brought up in the atmosphere of a touring theatre company. While still a youth he himself acted and sang on the stage, and in 1822 he accompanied his parents to Cologne.
In the following year he married, and produced his first operetta soon afterwards. This was performed with considerable success at the theatres of Detmold, Münster, Osnabruck and Cologne, where the company of which he was a member regularly appeared. In 1833 he was engaged as first tenor at the Leipzig State Theatre, and there he spent ten successful years. In 1837 he wrote his famous comic opera, Tsar und Zimmermann, Act Two of which will be broadcast from the Berlin State Opera on December 7. After producing a number of other operas such as Undine, he fell on evil days and, with his large family, eked out an existence as a travelling actor. In
1850, however, he was appointed conductor at Friedrich-Wilhelmstadt
Theatre, which specialised in farces and vaudevilles. In the following year he died.

The Prelude to Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina, an opera which he began immediately after Boris, but never finished, is one of the loveliest tone-pictures in the whole range of Russian music. It depicts dawn in the famous Red Square, Moscow-the sleeping city, the quiet flow of the river. Presently the clang of bells ringing for matins is heard. The sunlight begins to glitter on the cupolas of the Kremlin .... This peaceful tone-picture is in striking contrast with the violence and turbulence of the drama it introduces.

When* Glinka stayed in Madrid in 1845, he recorded in a note-book the folk melodies of singers and guitarists who were brought to his flat in the evenings. One of his chief sources was a muleteer, two of whose songs, seguidillas marchegas, he afterwards used in this orchestral piece.
' Night in Madrid ', originally called ' Recuerdos de Castilla ', is a brilliant pot-pourri on four Spanish melodies, written in 1848 for the Governor of Warsaw's private orchestra. In addition to the two seguidillas, Glinka used a jota tune and the well-known 'Punto Moruno'. Glinka was always a superb orchestrator and ' Night in Madrid ' is one of his most masterly scores.
