Palmer Programme featuring Olga Coelho, brilliant soprano and guitarist Ernest Jenner (piano) and Ava Symons (violin), "Sonata in C Sharp Minor" Dohnanyi Ernst von Dohnanyi, the distinguished Hungarian composer, conductor, and pianist, is neither a nationalist nor a modernist in the special sense of the terms, Rather is he a follower of the German classical school

of Brahms, whose influence is plainly discernible in Dohnanyi'’s early chamber music.

Eliane ris gga ee (instrumental trio), SO Ssckess ete ea ee Ravel’s chamber music is much easier to understand, even on a first hearing, than most of the works of the moderns. AlIthough what he has to say is all new, the language he uses is to all intents and purposes the straight-forward idiom with which the older masters have made us familiar. This Trio is the most important of his chamber music: though it reminds us here and there of the string quartet, it is a bigger work. 10.0 MUSIC, MIRTH AND MELODY 11. 0 CLOSE DOWN SIVA CHRISTCHURCH 1200 k.c. 250m. 5. 0-6.0 p.m. Recordings 7. 0 After dinner music 8. 0 At the Lansdowne 8. 8 Maudie the Racehorse 8.13 Bouquet to Irving Berlin 8.19 Bobbie Comber (comedian) 8.25 Don Rico and his Gipsy Girls’ Orchestra 8.30 Crazy Couplets 8. 0 Eric Coates’ " Saxo-Rbapsody " 8. 9 Neapolitan Nights 9.18 Day in the Alps 9.21 Duets by Ninon Vallin and Andre.
