Link Recitals by English Pianist
and concert artist from England, who is now on her second visit to this country, has recorded six piano recitals which will be broadcast by the YC stations on link, on consecutive Tuesdays, beginning at 7.30 p.m. on September 14. Her .programmes will include the Beethoven Sonata in C Major, Op. 2, No. 3, two recitals of works by HALL, a noted pianist
Schumann, the frarely-played Cesar Frank Prelude, Aria and Finale and a Scriabin recital. Miss Hall has made a special study of Scriabin with Lawrence Collingwood, conductor at Sadler’s Wells before James Robertson, the new conductor of the National Orchestra. Collingwood knew and studied under the composer himself. Her first recital will be the Mozart Fantasia and Sonata in C Minor, K.475. Now on a C.A.S. tour which will take her from Gisborne to the far north, and which will end on October 11 with a concert at Waihi, Jessie Hall expects to return to England at the end of next month, and she is not certain when she will be here again. "Perhaps in about five years, but I hope to visit the United States first. I have made the journey to New Zealand mainly to visit my daughter and her family, but I have certainly enjoyed playing and broadcasting here," she told The Listener, "and I’ve been to lots of little places with lovely, unpronounceable names beginning with Te. However, as my family expect to return Home soon I won’t have the same strong pull in this direction." | Jessie Hall studied principally with Dame Myra Hess and Tobias Matthay, and for twenty years was a professor at. the Tobias Matthay School in London, relinquishing this post only when the school closed after the death of its founder. Her home is in Norwich, and she leads a very busy life devoted to music, "including a little teaching, but mainly concert recitals." She has played with a number of well-known orchestras, and has been heard from the BBC at more or less regular intervals over a period of many years.
