BACK TO FRONT.
Sir-I have just heard from 1YA ("Masters in Lighter Mood") Jeanette Macdonald singing the "Jewel Song" and "The King of Thule" from Faust. Why is it that whenever this record is played it is always put on back to front?
Anyone with even a slight musical knowledge can seé that the recitative at the end of "The King of Thule" leads up to the " Jewel Song." And yet every time I have heard it the station has both announced and played the " Jewel Song". first. It sounds so ridiculous, too, to hear a finale in the middle of a recording.
