AS I SHOWED recently two heads are better than one, but unfortunately two yells are hardly

NO ONE is justified in being

any better than one, It has always been supposed that two pianos would double the sound but, if the first piano produces 75 units of sound-— now called ‘decibels,” the two together will produce only 78. Recently 125 grand pianos were played together at Indianapolis and the music was scarcely louder than from one piano and the musical effects were worse. 8 5 ” NO.

Good Radio Musi By JAMES THRASHER Though some may think it a bit ungrateful to examine gift horses too closely, the importance of the Sibelius Symphony series, which began yesterday, seems reason enough for a backward glance at the first

Erno Rapee and the Radio City Music Hall Symphony Orchestra

task of presenting all seven of Sibelius’ symphonies to the radio audience in intermittent Sunday morning broadcasts. Yesterday they played the varied, colorful Second, one of the least recondite and most enjoyable of the group. Three things, it seems to me,

served to mar this laudable and generally satisfying “premiere.” First of all, the announcer did not vouchsafe his hearers a single explanatory word on composer or | composition. He said something to the effect that Sibelius “needed no introduction to the musician,” and consequently the performers would let the music speak for itself. This is just a bit too smug. If the series is to be offered only to the musician, then its place on the air is questionable. A few remarks might well stimulate the amateur listener to greater interest and closer attention, while the first broadcast's rather pompous introduction had an alienating note, Secondly, but less important, the orchestra and conductor did not do the work full justice. There were some injudicious choices of tempo in the second movement, and the transition from the scherzo to the finale rather fell apart. A third and, to this listener, worst blunder, was the substitution of three patently “cute” excerpts from some of Shostakovich’s burlesqueballet music for the Alla Marcia from Sibelius’ “Karelia” Suite, originally announced. An early work,

marked Opus 11, this suite is de-

have undertaken the long-neglected

scriptive of Karelia, a Finnish province adjoining the Russian border, Cecil Gray tells us that the Karelians are notoriously the gayest tribe of the rather somber Finnish race. And the “Karelia” music likewise is gay, with a definitely Slavonic flavor as befits the geographical contiguity, If, then, variety is the plea for the Shostakovich music's inclusion, it seems a rather weak one. The cheap comedy of the Russian's trombone glissandi and duets between piccolo and bassoon were as out of place following the Sibelius music as would be a slapstick afterpiece to Ibsen. Incidentally, the real “hero” of the occasion was Viola Philo, the Radio City soprano, who sang two Sibelius songs with telling artistry,

Short wave listeners will be interested in NBC's announcement of an increase in the number and diversity of special programs designed for foreign reception. The chain's short-wave station W3XAL, reaches 13 countries in Europe, South America and Central America. A local short wave fan has res ported good reception of station JZK, Japan, between 5:30 and 4:28 p. m, daily. The station broadcasts on a frequency of 15.160 meters, he said, The programs are said to be interesting, with news broadcasts made in English, Spanish and Japanese, Occasionally, native music is interspersed.
