Whss's New in Recordings

MUSIC lovers. and particularly
AVA members of Civic Music Asso-
citation. will be happy TO hear Of a
new recording Of Alexander Brsi-
lowsky. He performs Pastorale and
capriccio by scarlstt arranged by
Tausig. with Beethoyen's Rondo A
capriccio in @ Major on the OPP
posite face. Here Is real mastery
Of the piano and his musicianly
understanding reveals itself de-
lightfully. After listening TO the
record I find myself anticipating
his coming Tacoma concert more
eagerly than ever.
Tito schips takes a turn at re-
cording again after a little silence,
and offers TO his followers two
lovely. lyrical and very italian
songs, slightly on the popular side.
He sings them with tremendous
appeal and his voice still retains
that wholesome. manly quality for
all its lyric smoothness. The titles
are Il Sing For You" and When"
They appear on a 10-inch Victor.
Fritz Kreisler presents two un-
failing favorites this month and
in reproduction his inimitable tone
has been gloriously preserved. The
numbers are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Hymn to the Sun" from lie Cog

Scott.
Rather than give glowing praise
to a couple of Red Seals think
they will more than speak for
themselves by simply mentioning
the announcement of their avail
ability. September offers the Stow
kowski interpretion Of strawin-
sky's Petrouchka-Ballet, and the
second act from Die Walkure, with
Lehman and Melchior performing
the leading roles.
So much for the more serious
side of the record business.
