at the Organ of the Trocadero Cinema, Elephant and Castle

Quentin Maclean has earned his living as a theatre organist for over seventeen years, and was actually the first person to broadcast on a theatre organ in this country. This he did from the Shepherd's Bush Pavilion. In 1928 he designed and opened the largest theatre organ in Europe, that at the Regal, Marble Arch.
Maclean had a strictly academic musical training at Leipzig under Max Roger and KarI Straube He has been broadcasting regularly from the giant Trocadero Cinema since March, 1931, and is proud of the fact that his early training is not forgotten - he has played the Hindemith Concerto at a Promenade Concert, and the solo part in his own concerto with the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra.

Hoist's Fugal Concerto for flute, oboe, and strings is the second of two orchestral pieces written in fugal style, the first being the Fugal Overture for full orchestra. Inform the concerto more or less follows the lines of the old concerto grosso. The whole work is full of attractive tunes and in the last movement listeners will hear on the flute the old nursery air 'If all the world were paper'.
