Sir.-The remarks of "Materfamilias" about studio artists. "making inroads" into the Sunday classical programmes will probably provoke plenty of letters from the musicians themselves, but I as a non-pérformer would like to ask whether your contributor really meant to argue that recordings should be broadcast: in preference to studio performances? Because it seems to me that if her argument is logical ("Their performance could scarcely be compared with the recordings of some of the greatest soloists, etc.") then The Listener should reject "Materfamilias" and reprint "better" radio notes from English papers. With only recordings on the air, there would be nothing to say that hadn’t been said by ‘someone "better" in England or America already.
Or am I1 wrong?-
PATERFAMILIAS
(Wellington).
