Saturday Night in Dunedin
A+ last, Vunedin’s cOnnoisseurs of fine music need not spend their Saturday nights at the pictures, playing poker, or in bed with a good bockh It is now possible to sit by one’s fireside froin 8 o'clock till 10.30 without any twiddling of the radio knobs, The improvement of our local radio programmes has come gradually over a few weeks, a good item or two being interpolated here and there until on June 15 we arrived at an entire
evening of good music. From 4YA, a lightish programme from 7.30 till 9.0 was contributed by studio recitalists interspersed with light orchestras (Constant Lambert’s "Horoscope" being one of the more interesting items). After this, 4YO continued the good work with Handel from 9.0 till 10.0, at which time came the piéce de résistance, the first four of Bach’s 48 Preludes and Fugues, played by Edwin Fischer. It would have been well worth the waiting just to have heard these, but to know that the series is to be continued each Saturday, preceded by music to which the music-lovet can listen without feeling a martyr, is to call down blessings on the head of whoever gave the order for this change in our week-end programmes.
