Under One Flag
\WEDNESDAY night at 1YA is classical night. Between 8.0 p.m. and 9.0 p.m. one will hear music for piano, violin, string quartet and human voice; recordings will alternate with studio recitals, and the only link that binds the items is that the music is classical and intimate-not orchestral. I am always hoping for a stronger link, for some sign that items are being planned in advance to fit in with some central idea for this hour. A _ successful move in this direction was made on a recent Wednesday when the main idea seemed to be somewhat French. The Debussy string quartet which opened the hour was followed by a "fill-in" record of piano music also by Debussy. Songs in French by fodr different compédsers all French by birth or by choice were sung by Hazel Burrell, a local singer who broadcast for the first time last year; she has a good radio voice and treats this kind of song well and gracefully. Recordings of piano music by Ravel, and of songs by Duparc and Delibes completed the programme. Catalogued like this the hour sounds pretty mixed, and ‘so it was, unless one compares it with other Wednesday nights. Towards the end a Liszt Concert Study slipped in, and whether it won its place on the strength of ths
years Liszt spent in Paris, or whether it just ha ed to be on the other side of the ord of Ravel’s Toccata, is a matter for conjecture.
