Sir,-From a'listener’s point of view I heartily endorse Dr. Beaglehole’s criticism of sthe choice of the programmes for the first two concerts of our National Orchestra. The effect through the nonemotional radio was flat and uninteresting. On switching over to Invercargill to listen in to a recording of Beethoven, I could not make out what was wrong until I realised I was listening to a re-broad-cast of the National Orchestra, so switched off again. For brightness and gaiety the Old Masters are unsurpassed, and the third concert of the National Orchestra, which included both Mozart and Beethoven, was an unqualified success, and gave great pleasure and satisfaction to listeners. I trust all future programmes will have a solid classical foundation.
