Review of RECORDINGS

his childhood sung by his father or
people he knew.
Mr.. Niles is not singer In the
strict sense of the word, yet his
manner of performing these beau
tiful songs in highly effective. One
is surprised at what good music they
are and how rich in emotional ap-
peal and deep beauty. Most of this
music is published, and Mr.. Niles has
arranged some of it for piano. He
has also performed many OF them
all over Europe.
And side by side with this music
of simple people is the overture
to Rossini's William Tell" played
by the NJ B. c. Symphony Orchestra
under the direction of Arturo Tos-
canini. This is a particularly fine
recording, full of varying color and
played with a remarkable spirit that
surges forth from the mechanical
production.
Also from this same era is the
Mozart 'Divertimento No. 10 in F
Major" for strings and two horns,
recorded by the Philadelphia Or
chestra, Eugene Ormandy conduct
ing. Composed when Mozart was
20 years old and during his stay in
Salzburg, it has many Of the inno-
vations that Mozart introduced into
this form of composition at which
he was the most prolific. The gen.
eral pattern is of the true Mozart
type, beautifully designed and fresh
in inspiration. The orchestra gives
it finely scaled reading, although
the strings are at times too bolster
Gus in their energetic presentation.

The Victor Co. is skimming the
interests of the musical world in the
last record releases it has given out.
The novelty of the collection is by
far the album of Early American
Ballads" collected, arranged and sung
by John Jacob Niles, mountaineer
tenor, to an accompaniment on the
dulcimer. The collection includes
THE Gypsy Laddie," MY Little
Mohee." Il Wonder as Wander Out
Under the Sky" "Lulle Lullay, THE
Seven Joys of Mary" and THE Bal
lad of Barberry Ellen"
The stories of how Mr.. Niles found
these lovely old songs is proof of how
much wealth of native material is
hidden in obscure places. For in
stance. a blind man. Pete Carter,
was singing on the street corner of
Louise, KY, to q guitar accompani-
ment while his wife played a banjo
and passed around the hat for con-
tributions. From him Mr.. Niles

Of evangensts were ordered out of

Niles heard Anne Morgan sing the

cornering her, he paid Is cents an
hour for her singing until he had
learned the tune and words. 'Lulle

1t is almost 100 years since the
New York Philharmonic-S Symphony
Orchestra, to be heard here at Con-
stitution Hall on Thanksgiving eve,

first concert. John Tyler was Presi-
dent of the United States. and Vic

Brahms was hot yet 10 years old;
List. Wagner and Verdi were in
the midst of their careers. The
city of New York numbered less
than 100000 people.
During the first season the Phil
harmonic Society gave three con-
certs. During 1882, its 9th sea-
son, it gave lib concerts, culminat-
ing with the inaugural concert at
the New York Worlds Fair. The
Oldest orchestra in this country, the
Philharmonic has never Cancelled
a concert, and only one has been
postponed-upon the assassination
Of President Lincoln.
Music lovers are familiar in gen.
eral with the great annual cost of
the Philharmonic-Symphony and of
the many huge items which make
up the budget, but the bookkeeping
department of today knows no such
expenses as dotted the account
books of the past. Neatly listed in
the ledger of 1852 are these items:

Honorary membership in the Phil
harmonic-Symphony Society is an
honor infrequfntly bestowed. First
honorary members were two great
violinists, Vieuxtemps and Ole Bull,
elected in 1912. Among the COM
posers honored were Wagner. Men,
delssohn, List, Raft. Rubinstein,
Dvorak and Spohr. Edwin Booth,
who appeared occasionally as reader
with the Philharmonic. was elected,
and Jenny Lind, Henrietta Sontag
and Marietta Alboni were among
the singers honored with member

first President to be elected.
Visitors to the Philharmonic
Symphony Offices in the Steinway
Building often stop to look at the
autographs. and pictures of famous
musicians which are framed on the
walls This collection, gift of
Clarence H. Mackay. contains many
amusing and characteristic items.
There is note written in 1878 by
Richard Wagner: "Inasmuch as I
need very capable young musician
as my assistant, I have decided
upon Anton Seidl. 1t will be neces-
sary for him to study a good deal
in order to play my orchestral
sketches. 1t will also be necessary
to break him of his born laziness."
Seidl was then % years old but
lived to be one of the greatest con-
ductors of his day. From 1891
until his sudden death in 1898 the
fiery Hungarian conducted the New
York Philharmonic, making, ac-
cording to Huneker, venerable bones

Thomas, Emil Paur. Walter DAM
rosch, Wassily Safonof1, Gustav
Mailer, Josef Stransky, Willem
Mengelberg-all helped to shape the
destiny of the Philharmonic, which
Arturo Toscanini took over in 1925,
giving up his baton at the end of
the 1856 season when the Phil
harmonic Society entrusted its or
chestra to the hands of the brilliant
English conductor, John Barbirolli,
who will conduct before Washing

the forthcoming concert.
