Some Australian Music
‘THE group of compositions by Frank Hutchens and Lindley Evans broadcast during the orchestral concert from
2YA on February 23, made interesting listening. Curious as it may seem, we know relatively littlé here of Australian musical activities, particularly in the way of composition, and one does not know whether these pieces are representative of contemporary Australia. They were not pretentious, nor did it seem that they were intended to he. They conveyed the spirit of a friendly pastime and in the two-piano numbers with orchestra-"Idyll," by Lindley Evans, and "Phantasie Concerto," by Frank Hutchens-written no doubt for their own playing, the friendliness wa: even more evident. The playing of the two composers was first-class and the orchestra, for the most part, rose to the occasion. We would like to hear more Australian music. : Z \
