From the Airwaves grew out of the curiosity of clarinettist John Bradbury, who explored the Radio Times archive to find out which pieces for clarinet were bradcast by the BBC in the 1920s and 30s. His study has resulted in new recordings of some of these pieces; charming miniatures by Adam Carse, Frederick Kell and Harold Samuel. Edward German is listed in the archive, not so much as a composer but as the regular conductor of the Northern Wireless Orchestra (which eventually became the BBC Philharmonic in 1982). Frederic Curzon's name appears sporadically as a composer in programmes of light music and as an occasional conductor. The Music of Edith Swepstone was never broadcast, but belongs in the same lighter vein. Two substantial pieces by John Ireland and Ruth Gipps complete the programme, broadcast, respectively in 1951 and 1973. This collection of pieces raises questions around the popularity, obscurity and resurgence of these composers and their music.
