for and all of which were performed
with an idyllic warmth and MASTER
full fusion of the many parts. It is,

was redolent of the late Middle
Ages-even though strictly sixteenth,
seventeenth and eighteenth century.
And some of the audience went out
into the night murmuring: We'll,
guess I'm not educated up to it."
Whether educated up or down to
1t, whether some of the music seemed
slightly too mild for much comfort,
or whether it was just that the
audience expected a more lifting
mood, certainly the final Bach
"Toccata and Fugue in D minor"
was a glorious "concordat of sweet
sounds" and made up for any of the
earlier deficiencies. Stokowski, who
seems to be able to find more strings
in his orchestra than most of the
conducting gentlemen, drew from
his men such a mellow profusion of
instrumental voices as made the
whole sound like the gigantic organ
which it is, of course, meant to be.
