GUS American prima donna soprano
Of opera, concert, radio and screen,

pearance in Washington, under the

Despite the phenomenal ascend
ancy Of Kristen Flagstad in
Wagnerian drama and Lily Pons in
coloratura roles, Helen Jepson has
been steadily growing in operate
importance at the Metropolitan.
Already the name Of Jepson has be-
come synonymous with Metropoli-
tan Opera productions Of "Thais, +"
Faust" and Martha" while no
cast Of LA Boheme," "Traviata" or
"Otello" seems complete without
her.
Miss Jepson's program is literally
interspersed with arias. The first,
the Ballatella aria from "Pagliacci"
follows an opening group Of old
English songs and airs and q group
Of four Hugo Wolf songs In German
precedes the intermission and the
Jewel Song and King of Thule
Aria," from Faust" A group of
three French songs by Duparc,
Koechlin ard Moret will precede
Miss Jepson's singing Of the Mirror
Song" from "Thais." The closing
group consists Of songs by Carpen-
ter, Rachnnaninon, Stravinsky and
Hageman.
Seats for Miss Jepson's recital
are available at Mrs. Dorsey's Con-
cert Bureau in Drops, 1900 G

BY ELENA DE SAYN.

This month brought q rather
unusual collection Of recordings
from both the Victor and the CO.
lumbia companies, which, with one
or two familiar numbers, released
several new ones that compel atten-
ton. OF these are Cigars Intro
duction and Allegro, Op. 47" for
strings and collection Of songs by
Moussorgsky, Victor red seal discs,
and Geminiani's Sonata In G
Minor" for violin and piano,
Musicale Of Continental Song" and
Faure's Theme and Variations, Op.
73" for piano, constituting part Of
the Columbia Masterworks series.
Elgars composition, performed by
the B. B. c. Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Sir Adrian Boult, with
incidental solo string quartet played
by Paul Beard, Barry Squire, Ber-
nard Shore and Amrose Gauntlet
Is one Of the most effective pieces OF
music written for q string orchestra.
It is one Of those perfect and concise
works for which Elgar was famous.
Composed in 1905, the year Of his
visit to the United States, where he
was guest Of Prof. S. s. Sanford of
Yale University, this composition
was dedicated to his host as q token
of appreciation. As one of his
themes, the composer uses q Welsh
tune, heard by him in Wales several
years prior to his actually making
use Of it. Elgar develops the Welsh
theme Of the introduction in .
grand manner, bringing it to .
brilliant climax in the finale.
Along side the optimism Of an
Englishman. we find the brooding
spirit Of Mcussorgsky. who dwells
on death in . set Of seven out of
eight songs interpreted by Igor
CORN to the accompaniment Of
Max Rabinowitz on the piano.
Songs and Dances Of Death" in
ciude the ''Trepak," a Russian ma
tional dance, where death supposed
ly dances with q drunken musjik
(peasant), who perishes in snow
storm. Deaths Lullaby" in which
q weary mother struggles in vain
against the merciless grip of the
inevitable" Deaths Serenade,"
impersonating q knight who uses
his incantations on Q beautiful
maiden in the throws Of fever.
Field Marshal DEATH" the fourth
song in the set, pictures q battle
field through which the ghost COM
mander rides and claims the fallen
victims which he proposes to line
up to march before him in q grue-
some review. ITO the Little Star"
speaks Of . bereft suitor whose
fiancee was laid to rest, while in
