Good Work
T is some time since we have heard » the leader of the National Orchestra on the air in solo work. Recently we had from 2YA a performance by Mr. and Mrs. Aspey of the ever-popular sonata’ of Grieg for violin and piano, the playing of which was probably a pleasant relief for Mr. Aspey from the hard work of regular opera nights. We have in the past year had a considerable number of New Zealand violinists broadcasting; not one of them produces the really luscious tone that Vincent Aspey
does. A few bars of his playing could be identified anywhere. This tone is ideally suited to the Grieg sonata and Mr. Aspey has never been heard in better form. The ensemble of violin and piano too was excellent. It is romantic music such as this in which Mr. Aspey is most at home, and in which’ his rich tone is at its best.
