Evening Music
{Tt would be a vast improvement if 4YC would arrange its evening music in the form of a concert that had some unity of period or mood. As it is the listener is kept continually on the move picking this‘ little bit and that out of the amorphous mass like a chicken picking wheat out of gravel. Does anybody fee] that half an hour of opera followed by Schubert, quintet and songs, is the perfect arrangement of either? That a Bach concerto and a Haydn symphony lead naturally into modern French songs, a sonata by Walton and string trio by
Berkeley? Or that Sonata No. 7 by Prokofieff is an appropriate ending to over an hour of Brahms, Richard Strauss and Schubert? Many of the individual items are well chosen, and an intelligent use appears to be made of new recordings, but the over-all effect
1s one of muddiement,
