O To be in Edinburgh!
O commemorate the 1948 Edinburgh — Festival, Station 4YA presented a comprehensive programme entitled -To-day in Edinburgh. ‘This programme ,occupied an entire Sunday evening, although unfortunately it was broken in two by the usual talk and news. Listeners were presented, by means of radio, with a sort of bird’seye view. of the entire Festival. We are used to béing taken, in imagination, on tours through space and time, so that it was easy to accustom ourselves to the idea of visiting the Festival before it had actually begun, to hear music which, at the time of radio presentation, Edinburgh hadn’t heard as yet. By radio, too, all the famous artists and orchestras of the Festival could perform selected items, and the result was an amazing assembly of talent and a very thrilling programme. |
Although the organisers of the programme did all in their power to bring the riches of the Festival to us, their effort had 6ne result which perhaps they didn’t anticipate-it made some of us, for the time being, very impatient of tadio reproductions and very envious of those who live in places where the greatest "live" performances are theirs for the price of a concert ticket.
