A MILITARY BAND CONCERT

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

RITA COLERE (Soprano)
WATCYN WATCYNS (Baritone)
THE WIRELESS MILITARY BAND
Conducted by B. WALTON O'DONNELL
FELIX WEINGARTNER , known to us best as a distinguished conductor, one whoso readings of the great classics, especially, are regarded as authoritative, has himself composed much in larger and smaller forms. His songs often have a simplicity and directness of appeal such as the composers of today seldom achieve, and it is difficult to understand why they are not much more often sung.
Although the whole world of music hopes that he still has many years of active service before him, he has already published his autobiography, revealing a wonderfully simple and benevolent outlook on life, and giving many interesting particulars of the world's music in his own younger days.
