Solomon Broadcasts
"| HE number of concerts by Solomon broadcast has been a service much appreciated by music-lovers, but it is to be hoped that the NZBS will not rest on its laurels with a sense that the thing worth doing has been done well. Perhaps those of us in the south have been at a disadvantage, but the concerts broadcast from Auckland can hardly be regarded as satisfactory. Apart from the irritating yacketty-yack of almost overheard telephone conversation which marred both concerts, there seemed to be a_ distortion, particularly in, the Brahms Concerto, which reduced the sharpness of the full tone to a sort of undifferentiated ‘"mellowness." On the other hand, the Emperor Concerto from Wellington was almost perfect, showing what the land-lines can achieve. I’ am, however, grateful to the Broadcasting Service for the number of Solomon broadcasts, and for the fact that whole concerts, which we could otherwise not have heard, have been put on the air.
