poser is supposed to have got this melody from a snatch of song he heard a blind beggar sing on the streets of Moscow in 1874. The concerto was composed in two months, during November and December, 1874, when Tchaikovsky was 34 years old and not at all sure of himself. The reaction of leading musicians was unfavorable, so unfavorable, in fact, that the composer became stubborn and enraged and refused to change a line of it. The result of his rejection of contemporary criticism has given us one of the most popular con-

DOROTHY KIRSTEN, the young singer discovered by Grace Moore, sings a brace of operetta songs in Victor’s latest musical smart set album. She has a luscious lyric soprano voice which elaborates on the oversweet sentimentality of “My Hero,” “Thine Alone,” “Will You Remember?” “Sweethearts,” “Ah! Sweet Mys-

"tery of Life,” “One Alone,” “Want-

ing You” and “Serenade” from the “Student Prince.” # = = MILIZA KORJUS, the bell-like soprano, sings “Funiculi-Funicu-la” and Rossini’s “La Danza” for a Victor: single, accompanied by chorus and orchestra. The original recording was made in Europe, but the reproduction has clarity. Miss Korjus, who has one of the finest

voices in the world, never made

the grade as a movie star. She was too hefty. Two other Victor singles on the stands this month present John Charles Thomas, baritone, singing “Where My Caravan Has Rested” and Stephen Foster's “Gentle Annie”. and Violinist Fritz Kreisler playing the (‘Gavotte” from Bach’s Partita No. 3 in E major and Mr. Kreisier’s own arrangement of “Rondino on a Theme by Beethoven.” 8 8 = 2
