Bruno Walter Advises Earnest
Listening to Recordings
Famous Conductor
Not Surprised at
Appreciation Success

Expressing enthusiastic approval
of The Stars Music Appreciation
Campaign, Bruno Walter, the cele-
brated European conductor, last
night offered a word Of advice to
music lovers on how to listen to
recordings of the musical classics
1T isn't enough just to start
the recording. lean back in an
easy chair and listen" the maestro
said. That's not the right approach
to great music. To really under
stand and enjoy a masterpiece of
music, one should know something
about 1t.
Here's what I mean" he ex-
planned. IF you listen to music in
q passive sort of way, you can't
get the greatest enjoyment. Make
your listening active. Live with
the music. Music can have an i'm
portant effect on a persons life,
but it depends on how the person
listens. Enjoy the music, of course,
but take it seriously. The layman
should hear a masterpiece in actual
performance at concert, and then
20 home and compare that with his
recordings"
Success Not Surprising"
The overwhelming success of The
Stars campaign, DR.. Walter said,
lis marvellous, but not surprising
The famous conductor, who was
exiled by the Nazis from Germany
and Austria and who now makes
his home in France, talked as he
rested in his hotel following his
first rehearsal with the National
Symphony Orchestra. He will con-
duct the orchestra's concert tomor-
row night in Constitution Hall.
I'm supposed to sail Saturday for
England to open the spring season
of the London Symphony Orchestra
on April "a, but I don't know how
my plans will work out in view of
the grave European situation" he
said.
Asked what he thought of the
possibility of war, DR.. Walter said:
Il really don't see how it can be
averted. But I don't want to say
anything more about that. I have
my ideas, but we'd better stick to
my own subject, music. The really
important events are the develop
ments in the cultural world"
Visited u. S. First in 1923.
DR.. Walter has visited this coun-
try nine times since he first came
here in 1923 to conduct the New
York Symphony. He returned the
following year to conduct the same
orchestra, and also conducted the
Boston, Detroit and Minneapolis
symphonies. Recently he returned,
after an absence of four years, to
take the place of Arturo Toscanini,
with whom he had been associated
at Salzburg for years, as conductor

The 62-year-old conductor showed
signs of musical genius at the age
of 4, when he could sing with per-
feet rhythm and pitch. He studied
the piano with his mother and made
his debut at the age of 8, when he
made a short tour of Germany. His
parents did not want him to be

that he wanted to be conductor,
and he amazed audiences at con-

divided by conflicting interest"
