Review of Recordings

dearly loved and which was the
dominating influence in his life. The
symphonic form hampered him
somewhat, for his tendency is dis
tinctly lyrical and he is at his best
when he submits to its lure. The
symphony is performed by the
Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, con-
Quoted by Vaclav Talich, and the
reading is imbued with vitality and
deep sentiment.
A magician at program music.
Richard Strauss has written one of
the three greatest symphonic poems
in his Death and TRANSPORTATION"
according to Lawrence Gilman. His
power lies not so much in follow
ing prescribed form as in giving
musical pictorization to the most
profound emotions. In this tone
poem, which is recorded by the
London Symphony Orchestra, di-
rected by Albert Coates, he has re-
fected his own experience. Suffer-
ing from a severe illness and near
deaths door, he saw his life from
childhood to adult years pass be-
fore his eyes. His will to live con-
quers, and even as the hour of
death strikes, heavenly sounds tell
him of the TRANSPORTATION which
he has undergone.
Highly dramatic, the music surges
with vibrant feeling marvelously
expressed in the richest orchestral
volume. Even in the gradual un-
folding of the final spiritual theme,
the orchestra is used in full chorus
with a wealth of harmony that re-
solves into a tremendous expan-
siveness, concluding with a pianis-
simo passage Of utmost purity. Typ
flying peace, it is yet a different
peace from the serenity that is to be
found in the Dvorak symphony
While the latter composer was per-
! fecting himself in the symphonic
writing Strauss had the audacity
to abandon the classic style for mod
ern forms and by means of his dar-
ing spirit, originality and superb
technique in composition win his
first acclaim with his symphonic
poems. The recording, made on the
low priced new sets with the black
insignia, is excellent.

East Washington
Also Has Lumber

OLYMPIA-Persons who think
all the numbering industry in Wash
ington is located in the western
part of the state are due for a
surprise from figures released by
the state forestry division showing
there are 1925. 900 acres of tim
berlands on the west side and
1854 900 acres in eastern Wash
ington.
OF the total on both sides. TO-
s02, 900 acres are privately-owned
lap 300 owned by the state and
1904 200 acres in federal control
in national forests and $3.50, 500
acres in other public and Indian
lands. More than half the federal
governments holdings are in the
eastern part of the state.
The survey showed there were
IL, 100000 acres of coniferous saw
timber in the state on all lands.
$4,000 acres of second growth
trees, 2,110,300 acres of cutover
areas, 606,90 acres Of barren
burned areas, $685. 900 acres of
non-commercial confierous timber
and 405,s00 acres of hardwood
and woodland areas, such as oak
and madrone.

America has been inclined to

Thomas told the educators.
"one of the tragic phases of the
totalitarian nations has been the
