No Vocal Interludes
[HE easiest way to fill a Classical Hour is probably to put in two major works and leave it at that; perhaps the reason why we so seldom hear an hour
arranged this way is that the programme organisers are afraid of appearing lazy. Actually such a pattern is a pleasant change (for us as well as for them), for however much one enjoys Elisabeth Schumann and Alexander Kipnis, one wearies at last of the inevitability with which they are used to separate the instrumental items. It was a joyful surprise to hear recently a mid-afternoon Classical Hour that consisted solely of Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet and Tchaikovski’s piano concerto in B flat minor; each of these two works had sufficient variety within itself to make its own half-hour seem short, and they are in such contrast to each other that the whole hour seem well balanced and satisfying.
