Concert Networks
ITH almost religious zeal I have followed the 3YC relays of the Griller String Quartet and the National Orchestra. I own that the reception is good, but dare I offer any objections? The broadcasting of any celebrated concert party from one’s own town hall has a claim on sentiment that can hardly be overlooked, but it is sentiment because
redio listening is a poor substitute for listening in the hall where the full range of the music may be experienced. What we listen to from various town halls is probably no better than what we might hear from a first-class record. I at least can pick no discrepancy between them, and despite my zeal I was, in fact, most moved this week by a recording of Yehudi Menuhin and the Paris Symphony Orchestra playing Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole, The point _is that ‘ultimately these network broadcasts may diminish the range and inventiveness of local stations and infringe on the time given to local performers. Suppose another ‘‘new technical device" brought all the BBC's "live" concerts within as perfect range to us as to the British listener. Should we then cease to make that local effogt which alone can make us a genuinely creative
_ nation?
