Labour Day Problem
| SUPPOSE the double-banking of good programmes at 4YA on Labour Day was inevitable since Joan Hammond was not expected to sing on that particular night, and Dr. Galway’s "Masterpieces of Music" programme would be arranged a long time beforehand. But for those who wanted to hear both, the evening was one of knob-twiddling frustration. Dr. Galway chose, for this programme, the first two movements of a work which we hear so seldom that to let his commentary upon it pass by was impossible. It was Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony, and as it is such a long work, only a part of it was included in the evening’s programme, after which it was necessary to switch at once to the concert to hear what we could of Joan Hammond’s magnificent recital. One can only hope that such a choice is not offered listeners again; so often the wastes of the air are filled with music of complete vacuity, that the complex problem of two good prggrammes on the same night is something we haven’t been trained to cope with.
