NBS ORCHESTRA.
Sir,-I should like to express my appreciation through your columns of the Sunday and Tuesday evening concerts broadcast by the NBS Orchestra under the conductorship of Andersen Tyrer. In New Zealand we do not often get the opportunity to hear the works of the great masters played by a New Zealand orchestra. Since these concerts began nearly all the greatest composers have been represented — Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovski, Schubert, and the rest of them. But it would be interesting to hear them play some of Bach’s longer works, such as the Brandenbufg Concertos, and the Suites. The NBS orchestra has shown itself worthy of undertaking the world’s great musical masterpieces, and the thanks of all music-lov-ing New Zealanders are due to Andersen Tyrer, Vincent Aspey, and the orchestra. Might I express the hope that these concerts will continue while Mr. Tyrer is resident in New Zealand. Finally might I join with those others who recently expressed in your columns their wish that Beethoven’s great masterpiece, the "Choral" Symphony, might be played at night from one of the main stations and not divided into two portions. I suggest Sunday evening after the commentary as"a suitable time.
