Thomas Henry Lyon - Architect...

Michael Yelton

Thomas Henry Lyon (1869–1953) was an important architect whose work has often been ignored, because he did not take up the Modernist ideas of many of his contemporaries. His work was also almost entirely concentrated in either Cambridge or the edge of Dartmoor. His contribution to the inter-War development of the Colleges of Cambridge was immense and often overlooked: this book seeks to restore his reputation.

 
The book restores to public consciousness the extensive architectural work carried out by Lyon, particularly in Cambridge, and does not gloss over the disaster of a church in Wembley which had to be closed after less than 30 years. It also looks at the important work he carried out in South Australia in the pre-1914 age, as well as his masterly reconstruction and furnishing of Sidney Sussex College chapel, which established his reputation. It has been extensively researched in archives across England, but particularly in those of the Colleges of Cambridge.

Opera and Ballet as Audio Drama...

Pyotr Tchaikovsky

"The Nutkracker" is a full-cast audio drama featuring famous melodies, exquisite arias and outstanding voice actors.

On Christmas Eve, Clara receives a nutcracker from her godfather, Drosselmeyer. That night she has a strange dream, in which the nutcracker fights alongside his toy soldiers against the Mouse King's army. Clara helps him, and the nutcracker transforms into a prince. Together they journey to the Realm of Sweets, where they are caught in a snowstorm and eventually arrive at Zuckerburg Castle. There the Sugar Plum Fairy presides over a fantastical celebration of sweets. It is a pity that it was all just a dream - or was it?

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) was a Russian composer whose ballets "Swan Lake", "The Sleeping Beauty" and "The Nutcracker" became cornerstones of the repertoire. He studied at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory and later taught in Moscow, developing a melodic style that blends Western forms with Russian colour. His music gained international acclaim during his lifetime and he conducted the premiere of his "Symphony No. 6 'Pathétique'" in 1893 shortly before his death.
