TALION 4YA's broadcast of Oscar Natzka’s second concert in- Dunedin was one occasion when listeners scored heavily over concert-goers. The first recital, which I heard from the stalls, provided a difficult aural exercise for the listener; the sparsely-filled Town Hall reverberated with an echo-accompani-ment which enearly ruined words and tone. The broadcast, which I heard from
my armchair, gave the true picture. Oscar Natzka’s magnificent voice came over the air almost perfectly, in every shading from pianissimo to treble forte, and every delicate nuance of interpretation was recorded. As a member of the radio public, I was disappointed that only half of the second concert was broadcast. As a supporter of visiting artists, I can only deplore the fact that the broadcasting of recitals is one possible contributory factor .in the neglect by the Dunedin public of numbers of overseas virtuosi-the proximity of the opera season, in this case, being by far the greatest reason. for the halffilled hall. :
