Rare Accord
H ONOR McKELLAR (mezzo_ so0prano) and Maurice Till (pianist) demonstrated in their recital of Schubert lieder from 4YA that rare accord between performers which makes a song an entity instead of a mere melody with accompaniment, Honor McKellar, who has recently returned to New Zealand after study abroad, has a fine voice and a sensitively artisti¢ style. She is particularly good in lieder, which require the singer to be completely in accord with the composer’s intention. Schubert’s accompaniments demand a performer equal in technique with the singer, and yet possessed of that flair for concerted work which is lacking in many fine soloists. Maurice Till’s work was at once a support to the singer and a demonstration of personal art. Altogether, this was a finely satisfying recital. ‘
