Hiatus
HE NZBS takes some pains at broadcast concerts to preserve for the listener as much as possible of the atmosphere of the concert hall. We hear the audience and the buzz of its conversation; we hear the orchestra tuning up and the hush before the first notes. During the performance we, too, are not ifmmune from the neighbour with the irritating cough and we share.» at the end in the thunders of applause. Such listening is infinitely more exciting than listening, say, to a studio performance. But there remains the problem of the interval. Only a super announcer could fill such a gap, so back to; the studio we must go, with a consequent drop in the® temperature of our enthusiasm. At the interval in the National Orchestra concert at Christchurch on October 6, 3YA introduced, suitably enough, a group of songs, thus avoiding competition with the Orchestra. A little more imagination, though, might have followed the Concerto with some of Rachmaninoff’s songs, instead of an unholy trinity of Schubert,
Caccini and Grieg.
