THANKS FOR CLASSICS

sir,-I wonder if you would permit two Auckland University students to convey their appreciation of the excellent classical programmes offered by the Wellington stations. Last year we had formed about us a small musical circle to which each member contributed several major works. Only the very best was played, and the range was wide. Our greatest regret in being posted to Wellington was in leaving this for the reputed barrenness of broadcast pro-. grammes. But now, after a month in this city, we find ourselves amid a richness of first-class music unknown in Auckland. We have had two major works each night of the week, with the possible exception of Mondays, and the interlacing of the programmes from 2YA, 3YA and 2YC, the stations which interest us most, has been very well managed. There is, however, one request we should like to make. None who enjoy 2YC’s programmes can fail to appreciate the world’s greatest orchestral masterpiece-the " Choral " symphony, Beethoven’s ninth. We should like very much to hear this work performed over the air, and suggest that its length need be considered no disadvantage if compared with the length of the operatic works often heard.
