The Music Faced
(CONGRATULATIONS to the: NZBS for launching Facing the Music (YA Sunday afternoon link).. The two programmes I have so far heard have been very pleasant listening indeed, as much for the ingenuity and variety of the questions put by chairman Peter Zwartz, as for the articulateness and farreaching musical knowledge of the panel. The idea of having a guest-musician answer a question is a good one, even if it seems going to rather much trouble for a single answer. Last week we heard L. D. Austin, predictably disliking something, this time Chopin arranged for ballet, and the week before Alex Lindsay dealt less garrulously with another piece of identification. The four members, : Margaret Campbell, Bruce Mason, Don McKenzie and Pat Macaskill, established themselves as individuals in the first session, ‘with Professor McKenzie’s some‘what falstaffian personality nicely balancing that little touch of knowingness in the amazingly knowledgeable Bruce Mason, The programme is decidedly entertaining, and the panel gives that, little extra satisfaction to the listener by missing one or two easier ones while hitting on some real toughies. The success of this session shows the wisdom of the NZBS in seeking a different pattern for.a quiz-panel instead of heeding the, to my mind, ill-advised importunities to mock up a, kiwi imitation of "My Word.
