The Genial Gossip
[RE WELL-TEMPERED ACCOMPANIST was a perfectly titled series of talks by Gerald Moore, heard over the holidays from 4YC. Gerald Moore showed himself to be almost as able a speaker as he is an accompanist, and his genial flow of reminiscence fully justified the claim of the title of the talks. I should have liked to hear a little more about the foibles of great artists, but no doubt the memory of De mortuis, and modern laws of libel, would prove an effective deterrent to gossip which became too lively. In any casé, the talks as they stood proved most amusing listening, and conferred in a small way a sort of immortality on the aunt who always used to enquire plain. tively: "But Gerald, when are you going
to give a real recital?"
