Review of Recordings

adopted by him thereafter. for the
next 13 years, until his death. These
pieces came as a result OF his
residence in his native land and
his exhaustive study of native folk
music. While the first maZurka
is more of an impression, the second
is pronounced in rhythm and can
be readily identified with the form.
Bloch's "Baal Shem" is a suite
of three pieces Of "Chassidic Life"
dedicated TO the memory of his
mother. The first - somber and
solemn, is an expression of con-
triton; the second is in the style
of an improvisation; the third
joyful and festive. Recorded by
Joseph Szigeti the composition be-
comes great piece of music, ir-
respective of whether the listener
is in sympathy with the art of the
composer or not. Comparing Mr..
one may say that in this music he
has found at last vehicle which
brings out the best in him. On the
reverse side of the last record there
are Milhaud-Levys "Sumare" and
Fall-Szigeti's "Danse du Meunier,"
the last noted for sonorous banjo
effects, novel for their use on a
violin.
Two single recordings bring such
popular favoriteS as Nathan Mil

accompanist, and the Don CoSsacks

a superb reading to Stamitzs An

certo in b Flat Major" while the
famous chorus rings full and true

Kama Song" arranged by Gogotz-

there is some disagreement as to
the year, and studied under Shcher-
bachev at the Leningrad Conserva-
tory. Although his music is un-
familiar in America the young man
is said to be a prolific composer. His
output to date includes three operas,
symphony, violin concerto.
His first opera, "historical-revo-
lutionary'' piece, called "Komarinskii
Muzhik," was produced in Leningrad,
october 10, 1888, and less than two
years later, on February %, 1885,
the same city heard his second
opera, Her Saints Day" A third
opera, based on Gorki's Mother"
was performed in 1889.
The present etudes, dedicated to
Gregory Alexandrowitch Smemanin,
were written in 1888 and published
three years later. In their original
order, they were respectively en-
titled: "Toccata," "Nocturne,"
"Valse." "Reminiscence," "Danse"
and "Recitative" This order Mr..
Horowitz has somewhat altered for
concert effectiveness.

Thursday to become health
officer of Riverside county.
In leaving, DR.. Fox's chief COM

The chubby, energetic physician

no records turned over to him and
for the first three months he did
his own tipping in a cubbyhole
