Things to Come
NE of the most attractive regular features of 1YA’s. programme is Owen Jensen’s Monday night Music of the Week session, in which he- discusses outstanding items in the coming week’s broadcast music. His manner is éxcellent for this kind of thing-friendly, colloquial, not over-technical, never patronising, and steering a careful course between the preferences of extremists.
Wisely, too, he varies his programmes, sometimes analysing a major work in some detail, sometimes using performers to illustrate themes from ‘works they arte go‘ing to play, sometimes giving on sev‘eral pieces just enough comment to
sharpen anticipation and deepen enjoyment. In one recent session he drew attention to the final Auckland broadcast of the Musica Viva Chamber Players, discussed the Haydn piano trio they were to play, adding some stimulating remarks on the difference between the often-bracketed Haydn and Mozart, sketched a background for a 1YC programme of Schumann and Brahms, and wound up with a "preview" of a new Sonata by the Auckland composer Georg Tintner, which included an account of a discussion with the composer himself.
