Concert
HIS simple, all-embracing but uninformative title is all that introduces 1ZM’s Sunday night programme at 8 p.m., and one might spend the evening very pleasantly musing on the possibilities. Maybe if one switched on the radio there would be Beethoven or Sibelius; one might hear a new humorous record or enjoy a few bright moments with Andre Kostelanetz. There might be one of a hundred different things; one may have saved oneself some tedium or have missed a thrill. One Sunday recently I turned to 1ZM by accident and almost missed a most exciting programme — Delius’ Orchestral fairy-tale "Eventyr," Maggie Teyte singing Debussy, and the Faure Piano Quartet. These made a well-matched, balanced group. How many moge well-chosen programmes lie behind the enigmatic title "Concert" only those who have given all other programmes up in despair will know. Surely it would be possible for the programme-organiser, even if for one reason or another he be not able to list the individual items, to give the session some label more indicative of its contents.
