When Winter Comes
ESPITE the onslaught of winter, listening has been leaner than usual for the time of the year. Eminently enjoyable as was Priestley’s time-play J Have Been Here Before, it was too modest in its requirements to draw anything extraordinary from the New Zealand Players. The. surprising thing about it was the clever way in which Priestley dressed up an obvious moral and passed it off as an entertainment which kept you waiting till practically the last line to see which way the die was cast. Later in the week, in a 3YC session of Dvorak’s music, Marjorie Nightingale and Vera Martin sang a handful of solos and duets. Duets come so rarely and these were so well sung that they kept the thought of the bedraggled drizzle at bay for the better part of an evening. This was rounded out with the Sonatina played on the violin and piano by Frederick Grinke and Kendall Taylor, full of the liveliness, colour and "soul" that seem so effortlessly to come from
Dvorak’s pen.
