Review of Recordings

A study in comparison is offered
to those who are interested in
Beethoven in general and in his
Symphony No. S in c Major" in
particular, made possible by a re-
cent release Of this work by the
Victor Co. under Toscanini's baton
at the head of the N. B. G.. SYM
phony Orchestra.
There are already other inter-
pretations of this symphony avail
able; however none seem to bring
Beethoven's genius to the fore with
more strength and conviction: Bee
thoven, militant and triumphant,
towers above his creation, a sturdy
fighter, measuring strength with
Fate, which knocks at his door, {"
as he himself elucidated the OPEN
ing measures of the famous SYM
phony, an utterance which is re-
peated throughout the work under
this or another 'guise.
This recording reveals Tosca-
mini at his best, one which makes
him the peer of all conductors
This is one time when a leader
has reached the level of a creator
and stands on par with him. The
listener is awestruck by the i'm
mensity of Beethoven's genius,
which under the frail hands of the
conductor assumes unsuspected pro-
portions. It goes without saying
that to hear this recording Is an ex-
perience.
Made Permanent.
There is hardly another Russian
composer who has achieved such
universal popularity as has Tschai-
kowsky, whose works form an i'm
portant part of every conductors
repertoire. Among these, his SYM
phonic poem, Francesca da Ri
mini," holds place OF prominence.

POPULAR Music

to coin a phrase. The second brace
includes "The Woodpecker Song

bright, fast-moving bits that are
favored by attractive vocalizing
Charley Barnet rates more than
honorable mention in this class by
virtue Of his slow-bounce "Tappin'
