Tonight listeners are to hear another concert by the ever popular Leslie Jeffries and the Grand Hotel Orchestra. And, it being St. Patrick's Day, the programme will have its flavour of Irish music.
Dvorak's ' Humoresque', arranged by Kreisler, is probably the only arrangement for the violin in the original key of G flat in which it was written, and when Leslie Jeffries plays it tonight, it will be with happy memories of its arranger.
Kreisler himself was playing at the Winter Gardens a few weeks ago, and stayed at the Grand Hotel. Jeffries had never met him, and was touched by the gesture of the great violinist in inviting him to join him at supper. Kreisler showed the greatest interest in the orchestra and in the welfare of British musicians generally. In May he is to tour South America for the first time, and Jeffries, who conducted his own orchestra in the Argentine as a young man, was able to interest him with reminiscences of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.
Of the other solos chosen for tonight ' Hejre-Kati', by Hubay, considered to be one of the most popular Hungarian violin solos, is being played by request, and Jeffries is to give a third selection from ' Musical Comedy Gems,' which, arranged and recorded by him for the gramophone, has won him such great popularity.
