The present output of recorded
music in its all-embracing variety
touches upon every period and
classification and plays an important
part in musical education. We may
safely assume that we live in the
golden age" of music in America.
Under such extraordinary conditions
scores forgotten on dusty library
shelves, standards works or COM
positions recently off the press, have
an equal chance to win public favor.
To these belong Bizet's Sym
phony No. in c Major" "MahlerS
symphony No. g." Beethoven's
String Quartet in A Major, Opus
19, No s." and Robert Russell Ben
nett's 'Hexapoda," for violin and
piano, the first three released by
Victor, the last by Columbia Co.
Bizets first and only symphony
dates back to his student days when
all he did in instrumental or crea-
tive fields was. shoWered with first
honorS. At that time, still in his
teens. Bizet had been already identi-
fled with the Paris Conservatory OF
Music for eight years. 1t took him
month to complete the symphony.
1t is interesting to follow his devel-
opment as the work progresses. Be-
ginning by following the traditions
of Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn,
and initiating their styles in turn,
he suddenly steps forward with his
own individuality and composes
delightful Allegro Vivace" for the
final movement. The London Phil
harmonic Orchestra, under Walter
Goehr, gives the symphony spir-
tied Interpretation.
Perhaps better than any of his
confrereS Mailer reflects the trans
formation in the manner of COM
position during his lifetime and rec
oncileS the two schools, the classic
and the modern. Together with
Bruckner and Richard Strauss, he
forms a nucleus of German COM
posers who individually developed
Wagner's traditions. Similar to
them, he nurtures the ideal side of
art and scars high. His music is epic
and heroic, his dramatic climaxes
are strong. The ninth symphony is
his swan song. 1t is his farewell
to earth, a thought which permeates
the first movement with poignancy
and significance. The first part is
a symphonic poem in itself, although
it only serves by way of prologue
to what follows.

Review of Recordings

Bruno Walter, Mahler's intimate
friend and associate for many years
at the Vienna Opera House, gives
it magnificent reading at the
head of the Vienna Philharmonic
Orchestra. 1t was he who gave the
work its first performance in that
city in 1911, a year after Mailer
death and two years after the COM
pletion of the score by the composer
1t was during its repeated per-
formance II years later, in 1888
that the symphony was recorded
during concert, again in the city OF
its birth. The music is gripping by
its emotional content and effect
Even a layman could realize its
potentialities and the master back
of it.
Beethoven's String Quartet,
played by the Coolidge group, is one
of the most popular with chamber
music organizations, which perform
it frequently in public, either as a
single number or as part of a
Beethoven cycle. There have been
quite a few of those within recent
years. MelloWed by experience, the
Coolidge players draw lovely, uni
form tone from their instruments
Their type of execution lends itself
to the emotionally restrained char
acter of the piece and gives much
pleasure.
Benefits "HeXapoda," played by
Louis kaufman, violinist, with the
composer at the piano, in a way
serves as preview being pro-
grammed for Heifetz's appearance
here on February %. The suite con-
sists of five studies in jitteroptera,

Bucket Gus" Jane Shakes Her
Hair" Betty and Harold Close
Their Eyes" Jam Jives,' Till

his early 40s, is a native of Kansas
City, where he was taught music
by his parents and acted as substi-
tute in bands and orchestras when
ever there was call for violinist
a trumpet, or any other instrument
which he had learned on the side.
His major works have been per-
formed by Leopold Stokowski and
his opera was staged at the Juillard
School of Music, of which he was
a student after several years of
study abroad The violin suite is
we'll written for the instrument and
is a decided contribution to high
class jazz rhythm. Mr. kaufman
plays it in an accomplished fashion.
