Good Programme Planning
HE 9.0 to 10.30 p.m. orchestral programme from 1YX on Saturday, April 13, was, of its kind, as near perfection as one dare expect. It had point, unity, variety. It was presented clearly, without interruption from needless commentary or other extraneous matter. Even the level of sound, which too often fluctuates exasperatingly from record to record, was steady, and one could sit back in comfort and listen. The first hour, devoted to the music of Hungary, opened appropriately with the glamorous if bombastic "Les Preludes" of Liszt, passed from the sophisticated Hungary of Dohnanyi to the music of Kodaly and Bartok-music which stems directly from the people and the countryside. To give over the concluding half-hour to Smetana was another happy thought, a sauce that brought out the full flavour. This was programme planning as it should be.
