Well-tempered Programme
T does at times appear that broadcast programmes of serious music are arranged* with little regard for the relationship of the separate pieces, but‘are based only on considerations of length. However, last Wednesday from 1YA (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) there was a particularly well-balanced and integrated hour and a-half of music in which each work led to the other, without violent contrasts or monotony. The Elly Ney Trio with Walter Trampler gave a quite exciting rendering of Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E Flat. The viola playing of Trampler prepared us for the thoughtful and sensitive performance from the studio of Beethoven's Sonata in G Minor, by Winifred Stiles and Gwynneth Brown. A group of placid, tuneful songs by Schumann, Schubert and Brahms, sung in the studio by Reginald Spence, and *finally the Griller Quartet’s playing of Dvorak’s "Nigger" Quartet disclosed other aspects of Romanticism, There were stimulating "bits" throughout all these, and plenty of different musical statements, but there was a close relationship established between the recorded and the "live" performances, and a unity of spirit suggested through the introspection of all the works, their intensely personal character and their characteristic" lyrical
sections.
