D.B. 818 � Rondeau, Parts 2 and 3 T HE public has long been demanding that Mr. Kreisler should

record a big work for the gramophone. Here is the fulfil- ment of its wish. In this series of four double-sided records

he gives us, complete, Mozart's lovely Concerto in D. That his hand has not lost its cunning we know already ; but it needed this masterpiece to show us that all the marvellous sense of proportion, the instinctive feeling for the balance of a delicate phrase, all the old wizardry of the great artist, are preserved intact. Apart from the steady ripening of those powers which even in his youth made him a prince among violinists the years have wrought no change in Kreisler.

The music is too simple to require much analysis. The first subject is given out by the orchestra in the opening bars and is very soon followed by the second subject :-

The soloist takes up the tale and the material is repeated and expanded, a new phrase of great beauty being added :-

This completes Side One. Side Two contains the brief develop- ment and the recapitulation. This latter section omits the original

BENNO MOISEIVITCH (Pianoforte) AND THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL ORCHESTRA

(conducted by Sir LANDON RONALD) 12-inch double-sided Black Label.

Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25 ... . Vendelssnlin

D. 969 J First Movement-Molto allegro con fuoco, Parts 1 and 2

D. 970 Second Movement-Andante, Parts 1 and 2

D. 971 l

Third Movement-Presto : Molto allegro a vivace, Parts 1 and 2

THERE is something panther-like in Moiseivitch's playing. The silky softness of his piano passages, the pearly quality of his runs, are combined with a feline muscularity and

agility that make his style unique. All these qualities are dis- played in this famous Concerto of Mendelssohn's (recorded without cuts), where with the sympathetic assistance of Sir Landon Ronald and the Albert Hall Orchestra lie scores a veritable triumph. In this triumph the recording too has its share : never have the complex problems of the Piano Concerto been more successfully surmounted in the recording room.

The first movement opens with an introduction in which both orchestra and soloist take part. Soon the Piano announces the first subject, a virile emphatic phrase This is fully dealt with and then comes the lyrical time that serves as the second subject :--

Piano and orchestra take this up in turn and some brilliant passage work for the soloist leads into the brief development section. The second side contains the recapitulation and the coda.

The music leads straight into the slow movement (side three) A lovely melody is played by orchestra and Piano in turn, and is succeeded by an episode in which graceful arabesques on the solo instrument play a prominent part. Finally (side jour) the original air returns in the orchestra while the Piano arabesques persist as a decoration.

Side five. An introduction of considerable length ushers in the joyous subject of the Finale. The treatment of the material is so transparent that we need only call attention to the reminis- cences of the second subject of the first movement in the solo part about the middle of side six. The Coda is Mendelssohn at his most brilliant.For

D.B. 691 (Sung in Russian) Rachtnaninoff Crazy-Headed John (Russian Folk Song)

(Sung in Russian) C RAZY-HEADED JOHN' is an instance of the way

in which the great singer can take any theme, however unpromising, or even, if you will, no coherent theme at

all, and build up a tone-picture by sheer richness of expression and the depth of emotional feeling inherent in his voice.

Chaliapine relates that amongst the peasants of the Volga country the art of improvising vocal melodies is practised as a pastime. This is one, but "ä la Chaliapine."

"ALEK0." By V. I. Nemirouich-Danchenho on a poem by Poushkin.Music

by S. Rachmaninoff. j English version by Rosa Newmarch, published by Messrs. J. and W. Chester, Ltd.)

The moon is higher in the sky and looks smaller and paler. The camp's asleep. The moon above Is shining in her midnight splendour. Why does my sorrowing heart beat fast? Why weighs on me this secret anguish ? I have no cares, and no regrets, I lead a simple wand'ring life ; Scorning conventions and the world, I dwell among the gipsies free. I live, nor recognize the power Of blind and cruel destiny. But God ! How passion still can play On my distracted soul at will! Zemfira ! How I loved her well ! How in the silence of the steppes She yielded gently to my kiss ; What hours of rapture night beheld ; How often with a tender word, Or with a passionate embrace, She drove my gloomy brooding thoughts Away from me, as dawn the dark. I well recall the glowing words She whispered in those blissful hours :

" I love thee, for thou art my lord, Aleko, I am thine for aye ! "

Then list'ning to her glowing speech, Forgetful of all else, I bent And clasped her in a wild embrace, Lost in the depths of her dark eyes. Then in the wondrous perfumed dark, Zemfira's rips met mine . And she, Filled with a meltin g ecstacy, Clung fast to me and gazed so long, Into mine eyes . . And now and now .. . Zemfira false I Zemfira cold !

Alleluia (A joyous Easter Hymn) D.A. 676 Arr. G. O'Connor Morris

Oh, had I Jubal's lyre ('" Joshua ") ... Handel

OH, had I Jubal s lyre is Handel in his most exultant mood. His tread is as firm as ever, but he adorns his progress with the most elaborate passage-work in the vocal part.

With other composers this sort of writing sometimes tends to become empty. It is one of Handel's chief claims to immor- tality that he manages to combine the utmost brilliance with real musical beauty and sincere expressiveness throughout. With this number Alleluia has been aptly coupled. Probably few of those who sing the tune in Church know that it is a very ancient melody that has come to us out of the mists of the -Middle Ages, a trium- phant paean of praise the like of which one seldom finds in the music of to-day. It has inspired Holst to one of the most gorgeous, full-blooded pieces for chorus and orchestra that the Twentieth Century has to show. This arrangement of O'Connor Morris is less complicated but not less effective, and Frieda Hempel has captured its mood with unerring instinct.

T HE last issues of this great Spanish Tenor were a couple of Jotas, traditional songs of his native land, accompanied by the appropriate instruments. Now he gives us two

more songs of the same sort with orchestral accompaniment. It is difficult to know which to admire most, the charm of the melo- dies, the vivacity of the rhythms, or the verve of the singing. Spanish music is lucky in having such an enthusiastic and magnificently. endowed advocate of its merits. No one who owns a gramophone will be able to resist his eloquent pleading.

(Sung in French) Massenet

L E JONGLEUR de Notre Dame is a miracle play based on an old legend. A certain tumbler adopted the monastic life but found himself too ignorant to join in the acts of

worship practised by the fraternity. He resolved, therefore, to offer his own tribute and was found before the Iinage of the Virgin performing his tricks in her honour. This selection comes from the Second Act. One of the monks, to encourage the simple tumbler, tells him the story of the rose and the sage-how the Virgin, flying from the wrath of Herod and bearing the infant Jesus with her, was at a loss how to hide fling from the pursuers. She appealed first to the rose, but the rose was too proud. The humble sage, however, was kinder and concealed the sleeping infant till the danger was past. Dinh. Gilly supplies just that mixture of naivetd and fervour which such a story and music demand.

LITTLE .hiss Over the l6'ay is a light and whimsical song with a distinct individuality of its own. The Adjutant is more breezy, with a rhythm that tarries. one straight

through from beginning to end without a pause. The words are obviously the work of one who has had military experience himself, and his description of the Adjutant will strike sympathetic chords in the breasts of all who have had anything to do with life in the Army. Harry Dearth's strong full voice is skilfully modulated to suit the style of these two very different items.

D. 972 ý (Cujus animam) (" Stabat Mater ") Sound an alarm (" Judas Maccabaeus ") Handel

IT is interesting to find Handel and Rossini side by side like this. At first sight there is little in common between the plan who wrote Oratorio in England during the

eighteenth century and the man who wrote Opera in Italy in the nineteenth. But Handel wrote Opera as well as Oratorio, and Rossini tried his hand at sacred music as his magnificent Stabat Alater bears witness. Both composers made great demands on the singers, though in different ways, and Handel's broad, simple phrases, Rossini's florid and elaborate writing are equally difficult to make effective. Tudor Davies solves the problems of both styles and gives us a rendering of this fine music such as we seldom have a chance of hearing.

Samson and Dalila. Dalila, the Philistine siren, is awaiting Samson, her Israelite lover. She summons Love to her

aid in her attempt to avenge her outraged Gods. The beautiful music needs no further explanation. Bantock's Songs of Egypt are also dramatic in style and his wonderful feeling for colour enables him. to conjure up a vivid picture of an ancient land and an ancient race. The full rich voice of the singer, and the magnificent reproduction of the orchestra both contribute to the making of a very noteworthy record.

`Bushes and Briers (Essex Folk Song)

THESE are two tunes from the inexhaustible mine of I~nglish folk-song. Bushes and Briers in particular is a famous melody. With Vaughan-Williau.s as the arranger and

the De Reszke Singers as interpreters the success of the result is assured. The passing of the air from one voice to another is a feature that makes for variety in a delightful way.

Band enables them to undertake music that is out of the reach of less highly-trained organisations. But after all

it is by this performance of a March that a Military Band must largely be judged. These two vigorous Marches show that the players who can deal so delicately with works of a subtler kind are also second to none in the kind of music which to a great extent forms their raison d'itre as a part of the British Army.

W HEN one turns from the Coldstream Guards' Band to De Groot the change is complete. The two present contrasted but complementary sides of our musical needs.

The virility of the band is replaced here by a yielding, almost feminine grace, as magnetic in its weakness as the other in its strength. The selection played is full of melody and gives ample scope to the peculiar abilities of the orchestra.

Q UILTER and Cyril Scott are modern writers whose songs combine artistry with directness of appeal in the happiest way imaginable,and both are fortunate in having such a store

of melody as enables them to face their public with confidence. Coltham's second song is a setting by Hubert Eisdell of some Irish words that have already been immortalised by Stanford. It says touch for the talent of the composer that his version can be placed beside the older composer's-masterpiece without fear of the result of such a comparison.

C. 1190 A happy married man ... ... ... Reg. Low I Lord luv 'im ... ... ... ... Lee (- )Weston

ERNLST HASTINGS lives up to his title as a humorist in A happy married man, a song which, as he tells us, he sings for the special benefit of a class of people unjustly neglected

by other vocalists. Lord luv 'im has plenty of humour, too, but with it is successfully interwoven more than a touch of pathos.CONCERTO No. 4 IN D-Continued from page 1. first subject which is replaced by the idea (b) above-mentioned. Side Three is concerned with the Coda and includes a fine cadenza for the solo violin.

The slow movement occupies sides Four and Five. It consists simply of the statement and elaboration of two or three melodies of

celestial purity. Another cadenza provides a notable feature towards the end.

The last movement (Side Six) opens with a tune in fairly slow time which is immediately contrasted with a more lively measure. At the beginning of Side Seven the same two ideas are repeated, but this time the second one leads eventually to a new melody in four-time. This is remarkable for the " bag-pipe " effect that Mozart obtains by the use of a " drone." Finally (Side Fight) the first tune reappears once more, and with the second one, some new material, and yet a third cadenza, leads the Concerto to a graceful conclusion.For
