At the Piano-HAROLD CRAXTON SEVERAL works of Honegger have been heard
here recently, notably Pacific 231, the piece in which he endeavours to convey an idea of the power and movement of a railway engine.
He was one of the band of ' The Six ' who, a few years ago, struck out on several distinctly differing lines, in an attempt to seek clarity, directness and simplicity of utterance in modern idioms of music. Honegger soon ceased to belong to the band-probably because he was hot revolutionary enough for the others
(First performance in England)
As a youth Paul Ladmirault (born 1877) was a bit of a prodigy, for he wrote a three-act Opera when he was fifteen, and was lucky enough to have it .produced in his native city, Nantes. He loves the open air and much of his best music is poetical, reflective and restful.
