No, No, No, No
"A ND how, how, how ‘are you." That's Arthur Young introducing his ABC programme, Romance of Rhythm, at present being heard on the Sunday National Programme. "So, so, so, so long." That’s Arthur Young signing off. I might even forgive this, if he had anything to say about rhythm: Certainly he tells us the surprising facts that Spanish music has Spanish rhythm, old music old rhythmy fttiodern music modern rhythm, and that all music has some fhythirii. But thé talk is a mere peg to hang the | playing on; and as for that, well, I’m not expert eriough to judge his rendering of Chicago and bop, but hear him take Pavane for a Dead Princess by the throat, and blench. "Romance of Rhythm will be heard again at the Same time next Sunday." the announcer "Says at the end of it. "Why?" I ask myself: "Why?" For the reason, apparently, that the Sunday programme is rapidly becoming thé repository of these smovth: talking, indifferently-performing thusicians, But for really good light music
let me commend All Day Singing on Saturday night, in which Henry Walter plays records of American folk music. There’s rich stuff here, knéwledgeably
presented.
