Schubert Novelty
T is refreshing to hear a new work by ari ‘old master-if I may be allowed this description of Schubert's "The Shepherd on the Rock," which is, I am sure, new to most 4YA listeners. Dora Drake, soprano, and James Hopkinson, flautist, gave listeners recently a most sympathetic performance of this work, which has a truly Schubertian grace and charm in its seemingly inexhaustible melodic flow. The combination .of flute and voice has been exploited by so many second-rate composers that it is pleasant to hear what can be done in simple treatment of two strands of melody for these two instruments. The performance was completely in accord with the spirit of the work.
