The first of six talks by Antony Hopkins
The speaker enquires into what is meant by having ' good musioaJ taste ' and whether ' good taste ' is is worth having. This raises fundamental questions such as: Why do we listen to music? How can we teli a good work from a bad one? What music is likely to endure? Will the pleasure of a deeper understanding detract in any way from the sensuous pleasure we get from listening to music? Perhaps some of these questions are unanswerable in the sense that t'he answers are not finaMy demonstrable; moreover, different musicians would answer these questions ;n different ways. Antony Hopkins, though giving his personal views, tries to help listeners to find answers of their own.
