The 8:30 p.m. recital, which is free and open to the public, will include Faure's Deuxieme Sonata, Bartok's Sonata No. 2, Hindemith's Sonata in D, and Ives' Second Sonata...

But BBC's drawback in program making has always been, in the words of one English critic, its automatic recoil from "any program that will seriously annoy the Church of England, the Royal Family, the three services, the British Medical Association or the Law Society." It enjoyed a monopoly in British radio broadcasting for 33 years, during which its Oxford-accented air of uplift earned the BBC the fond, but not too fond, nickname "Auntie." Five years ago, along came commercial...
