Orchestral Who's Who
READING the Julian Huxley article in a recent Listener about the pleasure and profit to be derived from Who’s Who reminded me that I have recently derived profit and pleasure from 2YD’s programme Who’s Who in the Orchestra. In fact, had I listened to every programme I would by now have been on intimate terms with every component of the symphony orchestra from piano down to, French horn. As it is, after listening to two programmes I am comparatively familiar with string quartet, and trumpet. But more enjoyable even than the lively discussion of each instrument’s development and powers are the illustrations which accompany each programme. Last week Tchaikovski’s Serenade Suite was used as an example of the string quartet, and thanks to the preceding commentary I found myself listening to it with some degree of intellectual instead of merely emotional appreciation.
