BACH'S "MAGNIFICAT"
Sir,-It was announced in a recent Programme for 1YX that Bach’s " Mag‘nificat " was to be presented. This is a particularly fine work and the recording being by the University of Pennsylvania Choral Society with the Philadelphia Orchestra, I tuned in. But when the presentation was halfway through the announcer’s voice broke in and advised listeners that they had been hearing Bach’s "Magnificat." Surely he should have said "We have just presented the first record of Bach’s ‘ Magnificat.’" I noticed too that only eight minutes were allotted instead of sixteen. Let’s hope we hear the second record next time, as the whole effect is spoilt by presenting
an excerpt only-particularly as this interpretation was directed’ from Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s original manuscript.
