Epilogue (BBC)
HAVE carefully made it clear that it is not the NZBS Epilogue I am reviewing. Some weeks ago, I listened to The Epilogue and had harsh things to say of it, the Authorised Version in basic English and a soupy organ. A correspondent wrote to this journal and pointed out that it was the NZBS version I had heard, not the BBC, which is far superior. Duly grateful for this intelligence, I listened last Sunday to the BBC Epilogue, and the correspondent is right. To hear what I took to be part of a Motet beautifully sung in the spacious 16th century style at the end of a gruelling day, is a refreshing experience which I counsel on all who are weary and heavy laden. To my great delight, the excellent English speaker read "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,"-the very passage which I had heard so inexcusably mangled by the NZBS speaker some weeks ago. If these two are representative each of their own styles, my advice is: look for the label. BBC is genuine, NZBS. so
far, anyway, counterfeit. _
