pleasure, than the imperishable classics. BEETHOVEN: SYMPHONY No.9,

adelphia orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormaridy, with Stella Roman, Enid Szantho, contralto, Frederick Jagel, tenor, Nicola Moscona, basso, and the Westminster choir. (Columbia, M-591, eight 12inch records.) It seems especially fitting ‘that this great new recording of one of the mightiest and most earth-shaking of all musical compositions should come at the Christmas season. And it’s amazing that so much music, of such soaring tone and rich volume, could be captured in the tiny grooves on these eight discs. The men of the Philadelphia orchestra were evidently inspired by Maestro Ormandy to put their very best into this symphonic masterpiece; and then the finest soloists and chorus obtainable matched the orchestra's effort in the triumphant choral finale. The result is one of the most magnificent albums we've ever heard.

BRAHMS: CONCERTO No. 2, in B-Flat Major, for piano and orches~tra, (Op. 83), by Rudolph Serkin, piano, with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy. (Columbia, M-584, six 13inch records.) Another superb recording, in which Serkin proves himself to be an ideal interpreter of one of the greatest, most difficult and most beautiful of all compositions for piano and orchestra., B-Flat Major concerto is in four movements instead of the usual three, and has been described as a symphony with piano obbligato. There is a splendid solo performance by the ’cello in the serenely beautiful third , movement. This work deserves its great popularity. MOZART: QUINTET IN OMAJOR (K. 515), played by the Budapest String Quartet with Mil ton Katims, viola. (Columbia, M586, four 12-inch records.) Here is a treat for chamber music addicts. They always expect perfect performances from the

music, he has few peers. “Especially is he hailed as one of the finest interpreters of the works of the foremost contemporary Russian composer, Dmitri Shostakovitch. The latter's Sixth Symphony is one of his most popular works with American audiences. It gets a definitive performance under Reiner’'s baton, and the recording is of the best,

SCHUBERT: DIE WINTERREISE, songs by Lotte Lehmann, soprano, with Paul Ulanowsky at the piano. (Columbia, M-587, three 10-inch records.) The title means “The Winter Journey.” In the Winterreise cycle are twenty-four songs which reflect the thoughts of a young poet, spurned by the woman he loves, who wanders aimlessly through the countryside seeking solace and rest. Lotte Lehmann, queen of leider singers, has previously recorded seven of the songs, and now she adds to her laurels by giving warmly human interpretations of six more,

OSCAR LEVANT PLAYS POPULAR MODERNS, Oscar Levant, (Columbia, M-560, three 12inch records) ist, author and radio star, Oscar Levant, has recorded, in this album, such modern masterpieces for the paino as the “Fire Dance” from “El Amor Brujo,” “Miller's Dance” from De Falla’s “Three-Cornered Hat,” “Malaguena” by Lecuyona, Debussy’s “Golliwog's Cake Walk” and “Clair de Lune,” Albeniz's “Tango” and others. Levant’s scintillating playing makes all of them more appealing. SINGLE , RECORDS: Two outstanding ones—Lily Pons singing the aria “L'amero” from Mozart's “Il Re Pastore,” and Helen Traubel singing the “Liebestod” from Wagner's - “Tristan und Isolde.”
