PATTISON'S SALON ORCHESTRA, directed by NORRIS STANLEY
Relayed from the Cafe Restaurant, Corporation Street
DIENZI (which sets to music a plot taken from 1 Lord Lytton's novel of the same name) is one of Wagner's earlier Operas. Its Overture is bold. and perhaps even blatant. It stirs the pulse. The weird legend of Saint-Saens' piece is familiar to most listeners. The version used is that of a poem by Henri Cazalis. The composer gives us a vivid representation of Death fiddling for the midnight capers of skeletons. Their bones knock together, as the Xylophone tells us. The dance goes on until cock-crow disperses the ghostly crew.
