Royale Disc Helps Rescue Boccherini Fro m Oblivion

Quartet

SINCE THE MUSIC of Luigi Boccherini depends for its dubious immortality upon a trifling minuefand one of his four cello concertos, it seems a coincidence that this A Ma-

jor Quartet should come our way | twice in the same season. But be- | sides the York Quartet inithe pres‘ent recofding, the Indianapolis Symphony String Quartet also chose i this work in a concert last February as their effort toward rescuing Boge cherini from oblivion. It may be doubted that either ensemble waded through all the 102 Boccherini quartets before - making their choice. Yet it cannot -be denied that this choice was a happy lone. The first and last movements abound in lilting melody and buoyant vitality. The Andantino lentarello is in a contrasting mood of wistful sadness, expressed in a very effective descending chromatic figure. And the Menuetto is a gem in itself, a completely winning combination of tenderness and gaiety. The York Quartet gives the work an enthusiastic retelling. = Their tone is rich and.robust, and there is clean articulation and nice balance throughout. The work is available in two 12-inch dis¢cs. And the re-

This example of Daniel Gregory Mason's chamber music also has been nea Indianapolis audiences recently, for it was included on the first night of the Jordan Conservatory’s Festival of American Music. At that time, and again in listening to the records, I was puzzled as to why any group would go to the trouble of rehearsing and presenting these pieces. Not that there is anything in particular wrohg with them. On the contrary, if one were to condemn them it would be necessary to condemn several of Mr. Mason's betters, from Bach to Brahms. The music is innocuous. But it is also derivative, prettified and entirely pedestrian. Mr. Brown and his players do a thoroughly workmanship job, which is as much as they could do. : ” » 2 FOR THOSE chamber music enthusiasts who can’t find anyone to share their enthusiasm, Columbia again has provided them with expert * assistance in three albums. The recording company has, in fact, given them no less monumental

works than the Brahms Piano Quintet, the Mozart Quintet in G

is E Flat, Opus 127. In the first of these albums the Rothschild Stridg Quartet provides the string parts of Brahms’ score, while the purchaser may fill in the piano’s part. The Mozart album has the first viola missing, and the Beethoven is available minus both the cello and the first violin. Here, too, members of the Rochschild Quartet become the purchaser's absent, though not silent, partners. . For those to .whom chambermusic playing is one of life’s major joys, here is promise for some more entrancing hours. ” ” »

She fingered the glittering braceltes and murmured that Stewart must be an awfully smart playwright—Broadway never paid ‘off like that when she was on the stage. Since she has to look romantically shorter than he, Miss Russell wore flat-heeled beach shoes, asked the cameraman, “Are my size 12s in the picture?” ” » ”

SHE DRAPED herself decoratively on the couch, Stewart flung himself down on it, butted his head against her and murmured, “Ummm-comfy!” Miss Russell * blushed solidly, pulled up a lock of Stewart’s hair and asked acidly, “Do women tire of you easily?
