| spirit, rich sonority and a lucid i unfolding

| and | item, and Mr. Thomas brings to | it and the “Otello” music some | exemplary singing.

By JAMES THRASHER

Schumann: “Frauenliebe und Leben”; companied by Coenraad V. Bos (Victor). ‘This cycle stands high among the scores of songs which Schumann wrote in 1840, the year of his marriage to Clara Wieck. The music is get to eight poems by Chamisso which celebrate the joys of feminine existence in a day when woman’s place really was in the home and marriage and motherhood were the sum of her activity.

Obviously the sentiments of Chamisso’s poems (which lean heavily toward the sentimental) were dear to Schumann’s heart. The music is unembarrassed by any reticence. It mirrors the wonder and tenderness and joy and bitter sadness of the text with a full-hearted passion and searching perception. Miss Traubel’s powerful dramatic soprano is more suited to the expansive terrain of the opera stage than to the intimacy of the regital hall. Yet she has managed to scale it down to the dimensions of the German lied more satisfactorily than many of her operatic colleagues. Vocally her performance is something thrilling. And while she does not bring to the music the warmest and most penetrating interpretation, two or three of the songs at least leave little to be desired on any count. Mr. Bos’ accompaniments have authority and more than a touch of masculine vigor. u s 8 Wagner: Overture to “The Mastersingers”; Prelude to ‘Act III of *Lohengrin”; Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra (Victor). Mr. Stokowski’s is a unique talent which allows him to do some extremely unorthodox things to the standard orchestra repertory and make us like it. However, his occasional waywardness is not the foundation, of course, for his deserved and enviable reputation. In the present instance we find him as orthodox as the next conductor in the matter of phrasing, tempo and dynamics. His performance of these familiar works, nioreover, is as satisfying as one might wish. The Overture has

of the contrapuntal pattern. And the Philadelphians seem to play for Mr. Stokowski as they do for no one else. ” » Suggested items for your singlerecord library:

Giiordano: “Nemico della Patria” (Andrea Chenier); Verdi: Credo (Otello) ; John Charles Thomas, baritone, with the Victor Symphony Orchestra conducted by Frank Tours (Victor). | Mr. Thomas has chosen an unhackneyed - example from the baritone’s operatic literature for the A side of this record, and coupled it with Iago’s magnificent and malevolent Credo. The “Andrea Chenier” excerpt is a welcome infrequently programmed

A heartily recommended disc. Diack: “Little Jack Horner”; Old English Air, “Ah, Willow”; Alex- . ander Kipnis, bass, accompanied by Ernst Victor Wolff (Victor). The Diack song is subtitled

Helen Traubel, soprano, ac-

is not nearly so clever as a setting of “Old Mother Hubbard” prefaced by the same apology. (I don’t know whether the latter is by Mr. Diack or not). At any rate, it doesn’t matter too much, for it brings us singing by probably the greatest bass of the present day. “Little Jack Horner” is quite a vocal stunt, by the way, with trills and coloratura. And the companion piece on the record is charming.

Sibelius: “Svarta Rosar” and “Saf, Saf, Susa”; Jussi Bjoerling, tenor, accompanied by Harry Ebert (Victor). Mr. Bjoerling is Swedish and Sibelius, is from the frigid neighborhood of Finland—but there's nothing of the “cold and Nordic” about the former's performance of these two short and lovely songs. In fact, the interpretation is decidedly in the operatic style. » ” ”

Bach-Hess: “Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring”; Scarlatti, Sonata in G Major; Myra Hess, pianist (Victor). Not only is the transcription of this Bach chorale prelude Miss Hess’ own, but the playing of it as well—a performance in the nature of a dispensation and a benediction. Her Scarlatti playing is perfection to he nth degree, # "

Frescobaldi-Kindler: Toccata; Hans Kindler and the National Symphony Orchestra (Victor). This record marks the disc de= but of Mr. Kindler and his Wash= ington orchestra. The conductor has made an informed and resourceful transcription of this music by the great 17th Century Italian organist, and the orches-

Downtown House Gets 'Night Train’

The usual procedure in film showings will be reversed Monday when “Night Train” opens an engagement at the Ambassador.

According to traditional practice a picture. should open at a downtown theater and then, after about six weeks, show up in the neighborhoods. But the first-run houses overlooked this surprising Englishmade wartime melodrama. The outlying managers got to it first and it has been cleaning up in the suburbs—and breaking a few rec-

.jords in tne process.

Now Manager Rex Carr is bring-

‘ling the film downtown for the first

time, within reach of the shopping and transient trade. The present booking is for three days.
