VERA BENENSON
Sir,-I wish to thank the NZBS for the excellent piano recitals by Vera Benenson. The complete lack of publicity given this artist in The Listener puzzles some of us. No doubt we should have known, on seeing "Vera Benenson (piano) Studio Recital" that; this lady is famous in Europe and America, that the Albert Hall and the Berlin Philharmonic know her well, as do conductors like. Leonid Kreutzer and Dr, Kunwaldt and Herman Abendroth. But those of us who don’t go overseas often would appreciate it if The Listener would give us a lead in these matters. It would have been good to hear Miss Benenson in some Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert, She has played all the major piano concertos of Schuman, Mozart*and Chopin with the big European orchestras. Our own National Symphony Orchestra would have been proud to play with her. Perhaps, before she leaves the country, Miss Benenson could, be persuaded to arrange a return visit?
