MUSIC BY WIRELESS
BROADCASTS CONDEMNED.
London, April 30. Sir Thomas Beecham, the famous conductor, prophesies that the time is coming when broadcasting will fall to an insignificant position, as far as music is concerned.
He declares that wireless and the gramophone are the merest parasites on the musical body. In the essential art of making music they had never given Pi farthing’s worth of help.
Music left to mechanical reproduction would simply die. Sir Thomas stigmatises the recent British Broadcasting Corporation’s concerts as failures, and declares that most of the occupied seats were filled with “poor relations and housemaids."
“The corporation simply squanders money in a muddling, blundering way,, without a policy for tho future, musically,” ho added.
