SINGER AND ACCOMPANIST.
Sir,-Having reached the age of three score. and 10, I can remember the time when an accompanist really did accompany a singer. But listening to a recital from 2YH recently I thought it sounded like a competition between the piano and the singer, with the singer trying to make herself heard through a jangle} of notes and sound; more of an obstruction than a help to the singer, If this is a trend of "modernism," then I call it a case of retrogressive advancement. Yours in great anguish. ;
