Well-Polished Souvenirs
HENRY RUDOLPH has a way with him. Whenever his name appears as conductor (and frequently arranger) one may be sure of really expert entertainment, for whatever the quality of the music he is presenting, it is given with polish, His programme Among My. Souvenirs given with strings and piano dusts off some old songs with the aid of "great singers" (hateful expression!) I heard the programme given with Merle and
Don Gamble. Merle Gamble’s voice grows richer with maturity and her singing is always delightful. Her husband has a strong baritone, a little on the "plummy" side. The string tone, however, was really beautiful, with a splendid pizzicato bass. Some of the gongs could, I felt, have been left on the shelf for good but I suppose one
can’t have everything.
