Although Josef Geiger and his Orchestra are essentially a light-music combination, they are frequently asked to play classical pieces at Claridge's. ' People say the English are unmusical', says Geiger, ' but they are as musical as anyone else.' And it would certainly seem that this Austrian-born leader has no cause for complaint against his audiences in the country of his naturalisation.
He is one of the best-known musical personalities in London, where he has been for the past ten years-first at the Savoy, where he played the cello, and then at Claridge's, where he has been since 1930 with his own orchestra. He always keeps to the same combination, one cello (himself), two violins, one bass, and one Hungarian szymbalon. He has had years of experience on. the air, having first come to the microphone in Germany in 1924.
