Landline Concerts
HE landlines which enable long-dis-tance linked broadcasts of’ musical programmes, have already proved their value; they have, too, at times caused a. certains amount of conflict in the music-lover’s breast. On August 8 for example, Auckland could go to hear Hephzibah Menuhin and the National Orchestra, Dunedin could go to the concert by the Griller Quartet; only the stay-at-home in those places could reap the benefit of both, by hearing the first half of one concert, and the second half of the other. The use of the landlines has been generous in the broadcasts assisted by Peter Cooper and Yi-Kwei Sze-artists whom listeners, in the main centres at least, could hear in person. Why, then, are we to hear only three half-concerts by the Dolmetsch Trio? The hour vouchsafed us on September 12 only whetted the appetite; but for those of us living south of Christchurch it must remain the whole meal until on October 13, and again on October 22, we are given our two remaining instalments. Without the opportunity to go to concerts by this combination, is it any wonder that we should feel we might have been treated a little more generously? (Six half-hour programmes are being recorded while the Dolmetsch Trio is in New ag and will later be broadcast widely:- +)
