Review of Recordings
DIR. HANS KINDER.

OF the first movement this latter is
positively demoniacal But the sad
beauty of the opening passages of
the second movement as Gieseking
plays them is of rare loveliness.
The final movement is again full
of that special fire that this great
pianist commands.
Edward Kilenyi is a Young Hun
garlan pianist we'll known in Paris
and his recording of the Chopin
Etudes introduces him as an artist
well worth following in his virtuoso
career. His superfine technique
makes a dazzling display in the
great arpeggios of "Etude No. /" or
the toccato Etude No. 7 in C major,
and in the Fifth, Tenth and the
Revolutionary Etudes. Delicacy of
touch and conception and a feeling
for contrasts are to be found in the
lovely third Etude, the scintillating
Fifth and the romantic Sixth. All
IN all, a decidedly interesting re-
cording of this group of favorite
studies.
Two women artists newly added to
the Columbia list of performers are
Magda Tagliafero and Denise Sori-
ano both French, who make the
first American recording of the Mo-
zart sonata. Miss Soriano, the vio-
hnlst, has a fine, resonant tone
which comes over with individuality
and the pianist, Miss Taglafero, ac-
cords we'll with her partner in every
particular. The sonata is delight
full, not long, and written for an
other famous woman violinist, the
Italian artist Strinasacchi in 1884.
While not profound in content. it
offers fine opportunity to artists
with rich tonal quality.

tative guides in their respective
fields. In 1898 he was named di-
rector of artists and classical re-
cordings for RCA-Victor. On the
conducting side Mr.. O'Connell has
led the Philadelphia Orchestra on
tour and at Robin Hood Dell. Re-
Gently it was announced that he
would be the only new addition to
the list of conductors for this years
Lewisohn Stadium concerts. Mr..
O'Connell will conduct the Sunset
Symphony" of August 6.
Radio City Artist.
No less closely identified with
American music in its most preva-
lent, present-day form, although
not an American by birth, is Emo
Rapee, guest conductor for July 26.
At present conductor of the Radio
City Music Hall Symphony Orches-
ira, he might almost be said to have
brought music to the movies. Since
he organized and conducted the first
large orchestra for a motion pic
ture house more than two decades
ago. he has been closely identified
with the films both as musical direc-
tor and as conductor of symphony
orchestras in the largest motion pic
ture theaters. In recent years,
through the Music Hall of the Air
and various commercial programs,
he has added to his enormous pop
ular fame through the radio chan
nels.
Efrem Kurtz is almost as closely
linked with another artistic me-
dium as Rapee with motion pic
lures. Washington saw him last
winter as conductor of the Monte
Carlo Ballet Russo. Leading con-
ductor of that organization for sew
eral years, he will appear for the
first time with the National Sym
phony Orchestra on July 10 and
again on July %.
In another field of music Alexan-
der Smallens stands supreme. Mr..
Smallens will conduct the National
Symphony Orchestra on August 2,
when Nine. Butterfy'-the first
opera to be given at the Water
Gate-will be presented. Mr.. Small
ems, who has appeared with nearly
every large symphony orchestra in
this country, has produced and pre-
sented the operas at Lewisohn
Stadium for several seasons.

By ALICE EXERSMAN.

Two especially fine recordings of
major importance are part of the
June release of the Columbia COM
pany and must carry an appeal to
every lover of music. To hear Wal
ter Gieseking play the Beethoven
"Appassionata" Sonata is an ex-
perience in itself only matched by
the very fine performance of the
Etudes from Chopin's opus 10 by
Edward Kilenyi. In the same list
is to be found the charming Mozart
Sonata No. 80 in B fiat major. K
454," played by Magda Tagliafero,
pianist, and Denise Soriano violinist.
Practically all of the great pianists
and certainly most of the lesser
lights in this field aim at special
Interpretation of the "Appassionata. ."
How disappointing these attempts
are has been experienced by con-
cert goers who also have their own
idea of how it should sound. There
is something elusive in this sonata,
in spite of its apparent obyiousness,
that not every one can catch or
reproduce while meeting all criti-
cism from technical standpoint
But Gieseking, with his superb, ex-
pressive tone and his powerful touch,
when need be, has a particularly
fine insight into the meaning of the
work that registers splendidly in
this recording
From the thoughtful opening
measures through the brilliantly
strong passages to the warm ex-
position of the theme there is an
emotional power that transcends
the sparkling pianistic quality which
Geiseking possesses. In the finale

interesting fact that apparently
there was no occasion for doing so.
Here as elsewhere that which is
intrinsically good is found in &C
cord. There is much that is very
good here-so much, in fact, that
the inveterate print collector finds
his appetite sharply whetted and his
covetousness liable to get out of
hand. What tempting array!

Hamilton Mabie once wrote that
art was 'the open window in the

should not look out upon misery

strength to continue our tasks. Such
havoc and desolation as our Ameri-

us is manmade, hence remedial.

SulC OF MS personality, background
and ability" Mr.. Csppel said yester-
day. But seldom have the followers
of one symphony orchestra had the
opportunity to observe conductors of
such widely varying backgrounds
and consequently style-as those who
will act as guest conductors of the
Sunset Symphonies
DR.. Kindler's brilliant dynamic
style is known, not only locally, but
internationally as well, Mr.. Cappel
went on to say. He has received
recognition both in this country,
in Canada and in Europe as per-
haps the greatest of the younger
conductors. In addition to DR..
Kinder, five of the seven guest
conductors who will conduct one or
more of the Sunset symphonies"
are Well-known American conduc-
tors. The other two, however, have
identified themselves with sympho-
nies Of other countries.
Leader in Canada.
Reginald Stewart, as conductor of
the Toronto Symphony Orchestra,
has raised himself to the eminence
of probably the leading figure in
Canadian music. Before he under
took the leadership of the Toronto
Symphony Mr.. Stewart, a Scotsman,
was we'll known both as composer
and concert pianist in Europe, where
he had the reputation of possessing
the largest hands of any living pian-
ist. No stranger to Washington-
coming virtually unknown to the
Water Gate last year, his two guest
appearances brought possibly the
greatest acclaim of any visiting
conductor-Mr. Stewards hands will
be in evidence again when he
conducts the National Symphony
Orchestra on August 16 and 20.

Western Hemisphere comes Burle

Senor Marx is German trained.
Since 1890 he has directed the Rio

ira, and through his position with
that organization, through guest ap-
pearances with other South Amer
lcan orchestras and through the
introduction to South America of
great international artists he has
revivified music in his native land.
An authority on South American
music, Senor Marx comes here to
bring the two continents closer to-
gether musically and to make known
here some of the best South Amer
