Record Review—

Prepares Series To Revive Songs Of Golden Past

CLASSICAL record collectors will be interested to know that Columbia Records

has been preparing a new series that will recapture some of the golden musical moments of the past. «ISSUED BY REQUEST” is the title of the new series. Releases will be chosen from older 78-rpm gets in Columbia’s domestic catalog or from foreign catalogs. Fach album will carry the explanation that “This recording has been issued in response to many requests. Music-lovers have evidenced keen interest In this work and its performance on this record, although this disc was recorded some years before the realization of today’s magnificent recordéng technique.” The first release is made up of four operatic recordings. They consist of “An Operatic Recital” by the gifted Claudia Muzio, abridged versions of Verdi's “Ernani” and Donizetti's “L’Elisir D'Amore,” and a complete recording of Puccini's “Manon Lescaut” by an outstanding Milan cast. All except the Muzio records have never before been released in this country. Librettos are provided with these opera albums.
