In this weeks edition of Wavelength, William English asks: "How German is it? Again."
English plays excerpts of Captain Maurice Seddon's collection of reel to reel tapes
rescued from Datchet Cottage now due for demolition. The tapes date back to the 1960s, mostly consisting of recordings of Strauss and light music and occasional conversations with persons unknown, interspersed and/or overlaid with snatches of poetry from German speaking poets such as Karl Kraus and Ernst Jandl.
