Stimulating Singers
O much of our music comes on linkup these days, that it was with surprise that I realised that 1YC’s playing of the last half of a public concert by Andrew Gold and Pamela Woolmore was for the delectation of Auckland alone. During their months in New Zealand, Mr. and Mrs. Gold have added an element of charm and vivacity to our musical life, and Aucklanders in particular, mindful of their sterling contributions to the Festival, must regret their departure. They are both unusually intelligent singers, who not only give an individual flavour to their work, but are also not content to tread paths
worn smooth and deep by local studio recitalists. In- this farewell. programme, Andrew Gold’s Wolf songs and the four Greek Folk Songs by Seiber were nearly all new to me; while Pamela Woolmore’s singing of the seven Nursery Rhymes by Kabalevsky added an unusual and welcome note of humour to a varied bill, It was as much for the freshness of their personalities and’ ease of manner as for their fine singing that I will remember these singers, who have given a shot in the arm to radio singine during their too-short time with us.
