Referring to the western front,
Chamberlain said valuable STRAIT

been secured by the French who
have held ground gained in the
face Of increasingly severe German
resistance. Discussing the war on
the sea, he said:
"A great difference between the
last war and this one Is that,
whereas in the last war we were
on the defensive against the U-boat
campaign, we now are carrying
out an offensive against U-boats
and they are continually and re-
lentlessly attacked whenever they
disclose themselves.

EnescO Holds
Unique Place
In Music
Philadelphia Star
Has Devotion of
Colleagues

Unique in the annals Of music is
the high regard orchestral musi-
clans have for Georges Enesco, who
will appear both as violin soloist and
conductor with the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra at Constitu-
ton Hall Tuesday night, February
%. That ubiquitous term, "the mu-
sicians' musician" has been applied
to only chosen few of the musical
titans of our times, and Enesco is
pre-eminent among them.
Last season several of the musi-
clans Of the New York Philharmonic
Orchestra asked Enesco for signed
photographs, and before the engage
ment was concluded the noted COM
poser conductor -violinist had signed
100 such souvenirs for the members
OF this famed organization. And
Enesco has had identical experiences
with noted symphonic orchestras
elsewhere.
Enesco is, moreover, a remarkably
gifted composer. From his first
"Poeme Romain," composed at the
age of 16, he has won the praise and
plaudits of critics and audiences
alike for the authentic beauty of his
creative powers, for the rhythmic en-
chantment of his scores, for the
stamp of immortality which marks
his work. Even in the lighter field,
one Of the most popular waltzes of
the present appears under a pen
name, but Enesco refuses to reveal
the name of the work.
Enescos musical intuition, his i'm
peccable taste, and his humility be-
fore the altar Of music have brought
him to the podiums of the worlds
greatest symphony orchestras.

Review of RECORDINGS

he also brings kindred spirit to
the Interpretation of these charming
works.
In this group of IL preludes every
kind of mood is TO be found with
corresponding command of ex-
presslve means. With ponderous
and strangely ringing chords, De-
busy will paint the languorous
movements of the Dancers of DELPHI
or the charm of vanishing SOUNDS
and perfumes in the night air. You
can hear those vanishing footsteps
in the snow and feel the poignant
regret that they bring or thrill to
the wild west wind and it's de-
structlve force. In fact, Debussv
has the power of Incorporating the
essence of nature and of sentiment
in all that he writes and these prel-
udes are interesting examples Of
his genius
Another work that will add to
the series of Brahms symphonies
released, is his third F major played
by the London Philharmonic Or
chestra directed by Felix Weingart-
ner. This symphony. which has no
special connection with events in the
life of the composer. has been called
his "Eroica" for its forceful utter
ance and strong style 1t is less in
teresting, perhaps. from the emo
tional standpoint which gives such
glowing colors to the first two SYM
phonies, but it has the seriousness
and the expert workmanship of the
mature Brahms. Melody also
abounds if of calmer nature than
that in the other works.
A single disc recording among
the latest output is that of Szy-
manowsky's "Tarantelle" and the
"Affettuoso" from Pizetti's Tire
Canti'' by Nathan Milstein, violinist
and Leopold Mittmann pianist, con-
trasting works and worthwhile ad-
ditions to the violinist's repertoire.

By Alice Eversman.

There is often reference made, in
speaking Of music, to its power to
paint pictures in sound. The great
est Of musical painters is undoubt-
edly Debussy, who combines to his
peculiar harmonic style a penetra-
ton of subtle nuances as we'll as
liking for poetic impression that
escape or do not interest other COM
posers. His gift for depicting these
faint, sometimes Intangible things is
so great that he has created an en-
tirely new department for musical
writing or if not exactly creating it,
at least bringing it to the conscious
ness of the musical world.
No more comprehensive idea could
be gained of the extent and variety
of his individual talent than the
set of "Preludes" released this month
by the Columbia Phonograph Co.
In this Book I are the preludes from
l of IL, comprising "Danseuses de
Delphes," "Voiles," lie Vent dams
la plaine," Les Sons ct les Parfums
tournent dams lair du Solr." Les
Collines d'Anacapri," "Des Pas sur
la neige." "Ce qua vule vent
d'Ouest." La File aux cheveux de
lin.' La Serenade interrompue. -
"Danse de Puck and Ministries. -
Also recorded is "Jardins sous la
Pluie.' La Cathedral engloutie" is
not included in this album having
been released but short time ago.
There is, however, a pocket in the
album for it.
The player of these records is
Walter Gieseking, who is one of
the finest Debussy interpreters of
today. Although he is noted for
the size and strength of his hands,
he can do more with them in deli
cate music SUCH as Debussy's than
any other artist. Besides, the light
ness and velvetiness of his touch,

Nadia voluntarily stopped compos-
ing in order to dedicate herself to
the guidance of this delicate and
gifted girl. The untimely death of
the younger sister was a tragedy
that intensified Nadia's devotion to
her sisters memory and to her
music. And this period of working
together set the pattern for the self
lessness and intelligent cooperation
which have been characteristics of
her success as teacher.
Since 1921 Mile. Boulanger has
been a member of the faculty of the
American Conservatory at Fontaine-
bleau. In addition she holds regu-

large numbers of young American
musicians, among the most prom

In 1925 Mile. Boulanger made a

government, which awarded her the
Legion of Honor, sent her on a
second visit to this country to study
educational methods. Last year she
returned to teach at Radcliffe COL
lege, and she received the distinc-
ton of being the first woman ever

Metropolitan Opera, the concert
stage and radio, whose superb vo-
calizing was heard by millions

Operas coast-to-coast broadcast of
THE Barber of Seville" will make
his only recital appearance of the

pearance under her management
several years ago having been can
celed because of Mr.. Thomas ILL
ness at that time. He is said to be
in superb voice this season and
hundreds of concertgoers who were
disappointed at not hearing Lily
Pons on February gladly availed
themselves of the opportunity to
exchange their Pons tickets for
tickets to Mr.. Thomas recital.
