ORGAN RECITAL.
Mr.. Bernard F. Page (City Organist) gave an entertaining organ recital on Saturday evening before a highly appreciative, if not a very large, audience. The programme included a wide, range of well-selected music-. For. the classicists in organ music in the pure there wot Handel's Concerto in D Minor, and a Pastorale (Pastel No. 3) by that modern giant in- organ music KargElert, whosD works are strong, masterful, and original. Then in the domain of. music of dramatic suggestion. Mr. Page played with fine registratiye resource Saint-Saens' symphonic poem "Danse Macabre," a favourite work with orchestras the world over, and the narrative suite "Peer Gynt" of Grieg, eerie, fantastic, grotesque, yet always fascinating in its melodies, and arresting harmonies. The late Edward Grieg wrote much, but it is doubtful if anything will ever supplant this suite in popularity. Suavity and poetical insight characterised Mr ; Page's playing of Claussmann's "Elegje," Elgar's "Contrasts," and a dainty, "Canzonet" by Bernard Johnson.
