New Organist
[DUNEDIN has gained in Chas. F. Collins, F.R.C.O., a valuable asset to the city’s. music-making; this was proved in-a fine organ recital given by Mr. Collins on a recent Sunday, on the organ of St. Paul’s Cathedral. The programme,
broadcast by 4YA, included Purcell, Bach, Whitlock, and Guilmant. Nowadays the taste of the listening public is constantly being vitiated by broadcasting of the second-best-I mean the prevalence of piano accordions instead of pianos, the saxo-
phone group instead of the string quartet, the crooner instead of the lieder singer, and the theatre organ-(w:th its numerous progeny), whose horrible tone and impossible gymnastics so often are chosen for broadcasting instead of the genuine pipe organ. In Dunedin we have been exceptionally lucky in having regular broadcasts by Dr. Galway on the city organ, and use is made of visits from organists of other cities to let us hear as much as possible of an instru-
ment which it is not always practicable to have broadcast. It is therefore em couraging to hear such recitals as that mentioned above, and I hope that more of these can be arranged for and included in future programmes.
