RECORDINGS
By Fremont Power
Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 1 in F-sharp minor: the composer at the piano; the Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy conducting
(Victor).
This is the feature item on Victor's list of February offerings, and very rightfully so. Rachmanioff, at 68, still need take no back seat to younger virtuosi in the playing of his own works. The concerto at hand is a revised edition (done in 1917) of what
officially
is marked as the lean Russian’s
opus 1. It is, I think, a
brilliant example of his musical modernism bounded by a well-con=
sidered conservative border. The the bizarre harmonic cadenzas and the back-and-forth rhythms are in constant evidence. Mr, Rachmaninoff is the modern Tschaikowsky. The composer plays with challenging virility and yet leaves room wherein his lofty, profound spirit may soar. Mr. Ormandy’s accompaniment is first-rate and likewise the recording. This is one to look for on the best-seller lists,
Chopin: 14 Waltzes, Op. 18, 34, 42, 64 (Volume I) and Op. 69, 70, posthumous (Volume II); Alexander Brailowsky, pianist (Vie« | tor).
Brailowsky is one of the “Chopin men” and like the rest of-| them, he must frequently undergo considerable critical upbraid-
it so-so and no other way. There likely is no other composer (except Mozart, maybe) who has provoked so many pontifical pronouncements from his admirers. According to the reccrds immediately at hand, this is Brailowsky's first attempt at recording

Edward Kilenyi, who did them for Columbia, Between the two interpretations, I would | not try to choose—and for a very] good reason: I have never heard Kilenvi's. Of Brailowsky's versions, however, this much can be said: His tone is lucidly reproduced; there is a lulling sameness to his work, interrupted only at times by little

now have yet to dispose of the issue of Shostakovich, the young Soviet composer. If the fears of the pessimists be true, then surely Dimitri Shostakovich must be an exception. His status as a modern composer is considerably strengthened this month with Victor's release of his Sixth Symphony and Columbia's offering of his Quintet for Piano and Strings (Op, 57), played by the Stuyvesant String Quartet. Mr. Shostakovich composes in what the Soviet musicians call the “new simplicity,” resulting in music that forges constantly ahead, freshly, originally and without the ties that might bind lesser artists. The Sixth Symphony is full of quickly apparent themes, couched in an atmosphere of Russian romanticism, Unusual in form, the symphony is in three movements: A long introductory Largo (longer than the remaining two movements put together), a brief one-record-side Allegro and an invigorating Presto, taken apparently from Russian dance forms, Mr. Stokowski directed the American premiere of the syme

William Boyce: “The Prospect BeUs”; arranged by Constant Lambert; the Sadler's Wells Orchestra, Mr. Lambert directing (Vietor).
Mr. Lambert and the Sadler's Wells orchestra have done much to revive English music and this album is an altogether refreshing contribution to that field. The music is for a ballet that concerns a group of dancers in hard financial conditions. Like most other ballet musie, “The Prospect Before Us” is, by turns, gay, laconic, amusing, flippant and sophisticated. The orchestra plays spiritedly and there is no fault at all to find with the recording, whose tonal aspects are excellent, = 2 »
In Lighter Vein
Freddy Martin, who brought Tschaikowsky to the juke boxes, is now doing the same for Grieg. latest dispatch from Mr, Martin (Bluebird) brings a swing arrangement (slightly symphonic) of the Grieg Piano Concerto, wherein the Martin boys do just as in the Tschaikowsky concerto. That being the case, the record already is grabbing plenty of juke box nickels. “Serenade for Strings,” another melodic steal from Tschaikowsky, is on the backside. “Blues in the Night,” a current rage, could undergo nothing finer than Dinah Shore's vocalizing of it (Bluebird), with “Sometimes,” which is practically as attractive, on the flipover, Smooth and mood-provocative as usual, the Ink Spots (Decca) use their regular arrangement on “It's a Sin to Tell a Lie,” marred only by a shrill falsetto outburst, and “Is It a Sin?" The Ink Spots remain a favorite of this department, though it's probably time they found a new way to sing a song. All are done too much the same way. Tony Martin (Decca) gives indications of being tops in “Abe Lincoln Had Just One Country” and “Somebody Else Is Taking My Place.” but this reviewer's record was technically inferior, An accident, no doubt, Sammy Kaye's orchestra (Vietor) also takes up the matter of “Somebody Else Is Taking My Place,” plus “Seeing You Again Did Me No Good,” both of which are all right, I guess, if you like Mr. Kaye,

Playwright Still Revising
Written expressly for her by the French playwright, Henri Bernstein, “Rose Burke” closed a two-week opening stand in San Francisco last Saturday. Original plans called for it to open in New York on Feb. 23. Instead, it will be in Indianapolis on that date, its New York opening having been postponed approximately four weeks. The playwright has been reported still revising certain parts of the script. It is his first play written in English and it concerns “some problems of the heart,” laid against certain aspects of the world in 1941 and the fall of France.
Directed by McClintic
Miss Cornell is cast in the title tole as a New York sculptress who “can live without happiness but not without dignity.” Presently, she finds herself reacting much as other women when love sets in. The opening cast included Jean-|
