BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

There could be no greater contrast
offered in content and construction
than Mendelssohn's Scottish SYM
phony" and Bloch's "Schelomo" for
cello and orchestra, both recent re-
leases by Victor. These two works
have depicted certain themes as diff
ferent as night and day, yet each
in their own right intensely inter-
esting.
Outside of some few often played
numbers, Mendelssohn's works are
not heard as much as they should
be. The recording of his Sym
phony No. 8 in A Minor" by the
Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra,
directed by Iturbi, gives an excel
lent opportunity to become better
acquainted with the Mendelssohn
style as we'll as offering special en-
joyment for its beauty. The Roch-
ester Orchestra is also heard rarely,
as is its pianist-conductor, Iturbi.
The first thing to do in listening
to the symphony is to enjoy the
music without trying to find out
how much it succeeds in being
Scottish" Mendelssohn was deep
ly impressed with a visit to Holy
rood, where the ruins are tragic
reminders of that Queen of tragedy,
Mary of Scotland He jotted down
a theme born at the moment which
opens the first movement. The rest
of the work was completed many
years later.
There are Scottish tunes incor-
porated in the four movements, but
the whole has little Scottish at
mosphere. However, the exquisite
workmanship, the lovely, fine SYM
plicity of the melodic themes, the
refinement and beauty of thought
are sufficient unto themselves. He
reaches no great depth at any time,
but charms by an elegance and
poetry which rests delicately on the
surface. There are eXcellently de-
veloped climaxes so that the SYM
phony at no moment is weak or
trivial and in the last movement
vigorous Highland dance works up
to a thrilling denouement.

overpowering in its passionate rug

the cultivation of their own per-
sonalities.
Such a procedure was correct
one. considering the low state Of
musical understanding in those
early years even in musical circles.
A great change has taken place,
however, since the last war and the
shackles OF European criterion have
been broken Ample proof has been
given in this time of the extent and
character of our talent and indi-
viduality. The general public, also,
has been educated to better appre-
citation of American born and culti-
waited talent and has shown willing
ness to encourage it.
Aid for Refugees.
Now, just when the musical public
and the leaders in music education
were beginning to stand back Of the
native musician and opportunities
for his advancement were being
provided for by public-spirited men
and women, there comes diversion
in the form of the stranded musi-
clans Of other countries who must
be taken care Of. The chances for
earning a living were at their best
but meager for native artists, and
now they will be called upon to
share these opportunities with the
exiles.
How is this country going to find
placement for these refugee musi-
clans" as the Federation statement
calls it? Will new openings be Gre
ated for them or will they be given
part of what belongs to the youth
of this country? If new openings,
not conflicting with what already
exists, are made for them, why
were not such opportunities thought
of to broaden the field for our own
musicians who also need them
badly? If not, will it be fair to ask
our musicians to stand aside while
charity is extended the newcomers?
This may all seem selfish and
unkindly, but self-preservation is
always selfish. We have expert
enced, to our sorrow, how ill-repaid
have been our generous impulses
toward foreigners Not only in the
musical world but in many other
fields has the same been true. The
common, and understandable, prac-
tice of natives of other countries,
even when citizens of this country,
of helping each other and thus
forming what amounts to closed
corporation where only those who
had the national pass word could
enter, is exercised in music as in
other things.
Forced to Wait.
We are facing another setback
for the American musician. He will
be forced to wait until the chari-
table impulses of sympathizers have
died down before he can again fight
for his birthright. In the mean
time the refugee will be taken care
of and also his sisters and his
cousins and his aunts." One by
one they will find placement" in
schools, in concert courses, on the
radio and as private teachers. What
is left when these individuals, whose
background is often of superior
quality, have been provided for will
go to the native musician. This is
something for the Federation to
think about and on which to clarity
its stand, for our cultural defenses"
can only be strengthened by the
unity of our own people.

Review of Recordings

membering his unparalleled glorv.
Bloch was inspired to write this work
after seeing a statue of "Schelomo
made by Catherine Barjanska, wife
of the cellist, Alexander Barjansky.
Her powerful depletion of the mon
arch, noble and great even in his old
age, impressed Bloch who has always
been attracted to the past glories of
his people.
The cello is voice speaking some
times with lyric tones and again
declaiming with dramatic intensity.
Against this lonely rhapSodic sing
ing is set tremendous orchestration
with strange, almost barbaric, har-
monies, yet marvelously expressive
of the passionate, suffering soul of
people. The whole work is highly
dramatic, with sharply defined light
and shade to which the Philadelphia
Orchestra responds with impressive
effect. Mr.. Feuermann's rich, full
tone and splendid technique fit into
the whole with admirable continuity.
Just a year ago Victor released a
volume of songs by Lily Pons and
now comes second volume mostly
of operate arias and songs of op-
cratic character. This is in every way
a finer recording than the last and
the charming singers voice Is at its
best and her runs and trills of ex-
ceptional purity and brilliancy. For
her major arias she sings the Polo
naiSe' from "Mignon"; the "Hymne
au Soleil," from lie COG dor" and
Blondine's aria, "Avec de la ten
dresse," from I'll Seraglio." The
arietta, "Quel Ruscelletto," by Para
dies: Bishops Pretty Mocking
Bird" and THE Last Rose of Sum-
mer," lovely in its simplicity among
all the fireworks of the other num-
bers, are added.
The last disc records two duets,
one from the first act of "Rigoletto"
and the other from the Barber Of
Seville" The baritone is Giuseppe
De Luca, for many years one of the
great singers at the Metropolitan,
and the two artists give fine per-
formance together. The album is
bound to be a popular one
Volume II of selections from
Bach's The Little Organ Book" is
also issued this month by Victor.
The selections, played by E. Power
Biggs, include appropriate numbers
for Whitsunday. Trinity Sunday,
Advent and the Christian Life. The
arrangement of both volumes is
made for the season of their re-
lease. This fine collection is Of
great value to all musicians.
