sung by Fanely Revoil (soprano) and Willy Clement (baritone) of l'Opéra. Comique, Paris with Stanford Robinson (piano)
French operetta, which stands at an equal remove from our own Gilbert and Sullivan on the one hand and the Strausses ot Vienna on the other, has a quality of its own, an effervescent gaiety that is irresistible. Fanely Revoil and Willy Clement, two of the most distinguished exponents of this genre, gave a concert at the Edinburgh Festival last night (broadcast in the Scottish Home Service) consisting of excerpts from the operettas of Messager, Audran, Lecocq, Offenbach, and others; their concert tonight consists of some of the same items.
