Cello Music
~TUDIO recitals of ’cello music come the way of the New Zealand listener so rarely that one can be excused for having to confess a comparative unfamiliarity with such a work as the Beethoven Sonata, Op. 5, in F Major, which was played from 4YA by Emile Bonny (‘cellist) and Koa Nees (pianist). For one listener who can quote a theme from any well-known ’cello sonata, there must be dozens-who can quote si:nilar themes from the great violin sonatasand those familiar with the piano sonatas of the masters must indeed be legion. We can only be thankful, therefore, when artists are found to give us a recital such as this, a fine performance of music which might well be heard
more often. Indeed, in order to familiarise us with the best of the ’cello repertoire, programmes of nothing but ’cello music would not come amiss, and fecordings of the best performers are plentiful enough when we cannot get our own artists. Ih this connection, may I protest at the bungling of someone who unfortunately saw fit to preface the above studio recital by a record of Pablo Casals playing "Songs My Mother Taught Me" and the "Flight of the Bumble Bee."
