Golden Age
ILLAH and Ronald Castle have begun from 2YA on Tuesday evenings at 7.30 p.m. a series of. recitals of music of the early 18th Century, played on period instruments. These instrumentalists have been indefatigable in their cultivation of this neglected corner of the garden of music, and if we are to judge by the first broadcast the whole series will be most interesting. The first gave two sonatas, one for viola d’amore and the other for treble recorder both with harpsichord, the first by Ariosti and the second by L’Oeillet. The gentle antique flavour of the instruments fell pleasantly on the ear, and the playing was most competent, though I fancy Miss Castle’s vibrato was not authentic 18th Century. The introductory remarks set several traps for the announcer, who finally introduced us,to a new instrument, the "traverse flute’-an ideal instrument | for the musical surveyor.
