THE NATIONAL ORCHESTRA
Sir,-the remarks of your regular correspondent, to wit, L. D. Austin, on the National Orchestra as compared with overseas orchestras, must fill the majority of your readers with mirth. It would be very difficult indeed to agree with such fatuous nonsense, Is your correspondent really serious? For purposes nf comparison ome has only to compare a recent rendering of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony by the National Orchestra with that of the Philharmonia under von Karajan, This is only one comparison; there are numerous others, The National Orchestra is, I feel, an asset to the community, but it is nog up to world standards yet.
