After dinner Mrs. B & I go off to Queen's Hall for B.B.C. concert. Boult conducts a dull & ignorant perf. of Oberon overture & then Schnabel is rather disappointing in Brahms D min concerto - tho' the slow mov. was mostly beautiful. Job of Vaughan Williams seemed interminable.* There are some nice things in it if you aren't tired of folk song modalism - but most of it is heavy, dull, imitative & amateurish. |
