AN ORCHESTRAL CONCERT

on 2LO London

View in Radio Times

DOROTHY HELMRICH (Contralto)
THE WIRELESS STRING ORCHESTRA
Conducted by JOHN ANSELL
ARENSKY (1861-1906) wrote some very attractive sets of Variations, both for two Pianos and for Orchestra.
The set we are to hear is founded on a child's song by Tchaikovsky (to whose style that of Arensky lias a good deal of likeness).
The song is well known to us as 'A Legend.' (It begins 'Christ had a garden'). On its melody Arensky has built seven very clear and graceful Variations.
