Out of the Depths - A Prayer for Haiti
Yorkshire composer Nick Morgan has written this meditation, a setting of the 1st verse of Psalm 130 ('De Profundis'), as a focus for people to consider continuing to donate to relief efforts in Haiti. It is also suitable for church groups to use as a focus for prayers. It is performed by Nick and his daughter Susie, aged 7. Beulah is pleased to publish this both as an audio download and as an MP4 video. We are donating the proceeds to Worldvision an organisation that has been in Haiti since 1978 and had a staff of 800 already on the ground and is committed to helping Haiti in the long term.

Sargent at the BBC
From 1947 until his death 20 years later Sir Malclom Sargent was cheif conductor of the Henry Wood Proms. His concerts were given with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The relationship between Sargent and the orchestra could at times be very tense, but Sargent could also manage to bring the best out of them such as the recordings made in 1958 just after he had resigned as the orchestra's cheif conductor.
Britten- Varitaions and Fugue on a
Theme by Purcell
For the Chopin bicentenary we feature the Piano Sonata No2 often performed by Sergei Rachmaninov who took liberties with the score that would receive disapproval from today's critics, Elgar's orchestral version of the Funeral March from the Sonata and the E minor Piano Concerto in two versions, one orchestrated by Balakirev and played by Friederick Gulda the other, a cut version, performed by Polish pianist Arthur Rubenstein in 1937.
