Owen Jensen's Talks
OT only has 1YC been giving us especially varied and _ interesting music lately, but I have been aware of a greater degree of integration in the programming. For some time, the miscellaneous character of 1YC music has made me sigh for what seemed more imaginative planning at Southern ‘stations.’ However,’ now the Auckland station is giving us music significantly grouped, and providing evenings more like well-organised symphony concerts than like "listen to my record" sessions. One of the best evenings in the new dispensation is ‘that introduced by Owen Jensen with his new Talking About Music ‘series on Tuesday nights. We can always rely on’ Mr. Jensen never to be stodgy or pedestrian in his choice of illustrations. Recently, Delius’s Paris: The Song of a. Great City, the lovely Chats d’Auvergne, and Gershwin’s An American in Paris were unexpectedly but logically grouped, after a lively preface in which Mr. Jensen was able to reveal to us seldomconsidered aspects of Delius and Gershwin, Moge evenings like this, and 1YC’s music will be as consistently. listenable
as its talks.
