ORGAN MUSIC
Sir-As a great admirer of Dr, J. C. Bradshaw’s rendéring of organ music (though unfortunately unable to hear him always on Friday nights owing to static), I should very much like to know if it is possible to make recordings of his recitals so that they could
be broadcast from other main stations. -It is nothing less than a tragedy if recordings cannot be made of such really beautiful music, especially when one thinks of the numberless repetitions of organ record broadcasts of the "Whistler and His Dog" type, complete with ghastly cymbal, bell and slurring effects, illustrating just how a musical instrument can be needlessly turned into one of torture, Furthermore, I really doubt if the majority of listeners want the latter type of music, and if they do, then they need educating up to some-
thing better.
