BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

1t is not often that one has the op-
portunity to compare the ideas of two
celebrated conductors in their inter-
pretations Of the same symphonic
work. Last month the Victor Co.
released . recording of Beethoven's
Symphony No. in c Major. Op. 2l''
played by the Philadelphia Orchestra
with Eugene Ormandy conducting. and
this months release Of the Columbia
people contains the same symphony
recorded by the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra, directed by Felix Wein-
gartner. Hearing one after the other
is an interesting experience, bewilder-
ing in way. since both have so many
points to be commended. yet in general
are essentially different. Which re-
cording would be preferred must be a
matter of personal choice for each
without the other is entirely satisfying.
The main point of divergence is the
character which permeates the inter-
pretations. Eugene Ormandy has put
an intense vitality into the perform
ance, giving it a breadth and robust
ness which nears the grandiose, while
Weingartner approaches it from a
more academic viewpoint allowing
himself an especially fine and poetic
relaxation in certain passages. Some
how. in Mr.. Ormandy's version one
catches the portrait of Beethoven, the
rugged, noble and superior composer,
while at times one senses q delicacy in
Weingartner's reading not fitting in,
to the same extent. with what we know
Of Beethoven's character and manner
Of thinking. Yet again, one idea may
please more than another according
to the mental picture which one may
have Of the great genius Of symphonic
music.
From those first opening chords
which shocked the public Of Beet
hoven's day inexpressibly, the differ
ence Of treatment is evident. Through
out the first movement there is more
color and elasticity in Weingartner' s
idea with we'll defined shadings and
large swelling tones while Ormandy
achieves an expansion and broadness
Of sweep which the detailed effects Of
the other cannot reach. The main
theme under Ormandy's directing
pulses with vitality while the charm
ing lightness which Weingartner COM
mands is 1T once employed with
beautiful effect.
But from the second movement the
essential difference Of viewpoint be-
comes more marked. The result y

the biblical story of Martha and Mary,
those who are guided by the strength
and warmth Of their feeling have
chosen the better part.
WHAT is expected of those who
make music is also demanded of
those who listen to it. They must open
their hearts meeting the emotional
expression Of music with an equal
emotional response, clearing the way
for an influx of the essentials of ma
lures music, purity, sweetness and no.
bility. When these basic elements of
music meet and mingle with the
great endowments of man, then does
the human being near the quality of
spirituality from which angels were
made.
Were one wanting in faith. one need
only stop to consider music to realize
that the order of life has something
more back of it than a scientific proc
ess by which the world is kept going.
Whence comes the might to move the
hearts of people with the concord of
sweet sounds" to create the match

speech of music? Whence comes the

that all care can be shed from us
through the loveliness of birds song

superior mind back of the biological
foundation OF humanity.
laid the mantle Of a priesthood
which must work by faith and with
out knowledge Of the good they ac-
comphsh. But greater than any other
is the profession which gives out the
great music of the world to those who
yearn for it, for they work with in
tangible material SO delicatelv BAL
anced that one false move may shat
ter the marvellous thought lncorpo-
rated in it. The interpreter ranks with
the composer, for without him music
would remain mute thing on paper,
its glorious voice locked in an inanl-
mate form and its message hidden
from all humanity. Therefore it be-
hooves the one on whose shoulders
falls the burden of liberating the great
musical thoughts of God-given genius
to realize his responsibility and to
prepare for it in humility of spirit and
concentration of all his powers.
And for those who receive the bless
ing OF music it is their duty to gather
the heaven-sent strains into their
hearts, knowing that. although man
made, they are God-inspired, and SUBJ

development toward the end for which
Christ sacrificed His life so many CEN

In natures music there are all the

1t was not intended that all should be

DR.. Rudolph CAM, guest con-

scription Of the Negro spiritual

burst of rain which dwindled to

AUDIENCE PATIENT
The far from numerous lis

asked If the concert should con-

ness deprived the famed D
minor symphony of Franck Of
something Of its Solidity, and
the "PreludeS" Of List Of some
thing Of the imposing brilliance
native to the work, they gave no
evidence Of any dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, they obliged
the conductor and the orchestra
to add two encoreS at the end

It develops vital rhythmic i'm
