"THE orchestral repertoire is wide, though, of course, each year in Britain, in each centre, the new season's prospectus is torn apart for being (a) too progressive, and (b) too conservative. The same prospectus, mark you! That couldn't happen here, I suppose?"—Thus James Robertson, the new conductor of the National Orchestra, diffidently (or rhetorically) enquired in a talk broadcast over all National stations recently. It was part of a "getting acquainted" programme designed to introduce Mr. Robertson to New Zealanders and vice versa. He had got down to business earlier in the week at his first rehearsal with the Orchestra, where he is seen (left) greeting Vincent Aspey, leader of the Orchestra, and also in action on the podium.
