A DISTINGUISHED CONDUCTOR.
Sir,-Your listener "N.A." of Hutt Valley appears to resent Mr. Tyrer being referred to as a distinguished conductor. I suggest in the first place that the National Broadcasting Service has never before had the services of a conductor of the calibre of Mr. Tyrer-except for very occasional concerts when we had broadcasts of orchestras conducted by Sir Thomas ‘Beecham when he has visited the Dominion. Secondly, there is no humiliation involved in regard to other conductors. These men, although doing good work, and giving us good orchestral concerts, cannot be termed distinguished-and I am sure that they would be the first to agree that Mr. Tyrer is a truly distinguished conductor. I have a suggestion which I was hoping might have been made before this. Briefly it is this. One has been hearing very excellent orchestral concerts from 2YA conducted by Mr. Tyrer. If these were made public concerts as well as broadcast concerts, people who enjoy listening to good orchestral music would have no objection to paying for admission, Incidentally it would be extra pocket money for the National Broadcasting Service. I feel sure such concerts would be well patronised.
