Budapest
Quartet to
Chamber Music
Programs Begin
Next Sunday

Beginning next Sunday morning,
August 81, the Budapest String
Quartet will inaugurate notable
series of chamber music broadcasts
over the network of Columbia
Broadcasting System.
This world famous organization
will play 10 programs OF the
chamber music of Ludwig van Bee
thoven, from 11:05 am. to IL noon
eastern daylight saving time as
long as that is in effect then East
ern standard time) on the follow
ing dates: August 81, September
7, IA, 81, %, october 5, IL, l9, 26,
and November 2.
All of these concerts will originate
in the Whittall Pavilion of the
Library of Congress and be given
under the auspices of the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation. They
undoubtedly mark the most ambi-
tious attempt SO far in the history
of American radio to present Bee
thoven's chamber music in an eX-
tended series of concerts especially
designed for broadcasting.
The music loving public of Wash
ington will be able to enjoy these
broadcasts over Station WJSV. The
concerts at which the public can
hear the artists in person will be
announced at a later date.
The excellence of the Budapest
String Quartet is well known. Its
frequent appearances in the Library
of Congress, under the auspices OF
the Gertrude Clarke Whittall Foun-
dation, have brought the finest in
terpretations of chamber music to
Nation wide audiences. for their
broadcasts have reached thousands.
The artists in the quartet are
Josef Roismann, first violin; Alex
ander Schneider. second violin;
Boris Kroyt. viola. and Mischa
Schneider, violoncello. During the
forthcoming series, as on similar
past occasions, these artists will use
the Stradivari strirged instruments
which Mrs. Gertrude Clarke Whittall
presented to the Library of Con-
gress in 1886. Each one is a per-
fectly preserved example of Antonio
Stradivari's craftsmanship.
When these instruments (three
violins, one viola and one violon-
cello were given to the library,
Mrs. Whittall remarked that they
now belonged to the people of the
United States. The medium of radio
makes it possible for practically all
persons throughout the country to
hear them under ideal conditions
and in the hands of artists thor
oughly familiar with them through
daily rehearsal.

The reverse side of this 10-inch

If it we're not for the hurried tempo
of the Strauss song and too much

singing of it would have been more
satisfying.
Salvatore Baccaloni, basso-buffo o
of the Metropolitan Opera, who IS
expected to make his debut in this
city next fall, can be heard and en-
loved via two Columbia recordings
on one disc, "Ah, Pieta Signori Miei"
and "Madamina," from Mozart S
Don Giovanni" The Columbia
Symphony Orchestra is under Erich
Leinsdorf. Mr.. Baccaloni colors his
singing primarily by facial express
sion, which while not seen. can be
easily sensed. He has a sonorouS
voice and a good diction.
A pianist, Robert Goldsand
makes his debut in a set Of six
Chopin waltzes released by Decca
on three 10-inch discs. ''Valse in E

equipment Of the first order. Mr.
Goldsand plays with ease and au-
thority. AS a Viennese he has a
natural flare for that type of a
composition.

BY Elena de Sayn.

G.. Schirmer Co. recorded recently
a rare collection of Bali music,
transcribed and arranged by Collin
McPhee. A tWo-piano team is used
as a substitute for a Balinese Or
cheStra. Seven pieces are pre-
sented by Mr.. McPhee in collabora-
ton with his piano partner, Benja-
min BTitten; on two occasions Mr..
McPhee is assisted by Georges Bar
rere, f1utist.
Those who were fortunate to hear
an authentic Bali orchestra at the
New York Worlds Fair, group
comprising an aggregation of metal
lophones, gongs and drums, viii un-
doubtedly miss the subtler effects
produced by such an ensemble.
However, others, who have never
had an opportunity to acquaint
themselves with this fascinating
type of music in any form, will well
come this collection made BY a
talented musician. Mr.. Collins
brings some of the choicest tunes to
our attention.
The album contains three 10-inch
discs of incidental music The first
'Pemungkah." is a piece of an over
ture to Shadow-PIay. curtailed in
length. 1t is among the most in
tereSting bits in the entire set. The
reverse side of the disc is the likable
"Rebong' which forms back
ground for love-scenes enacted by
puppets; "Lagu Delem" accompanies
antics of clown, in the same play.
"Gambangan' is short instru-
mental number reminiscent of bells
at play in a Byzantine Church. Be-
cause Of its persistence, "Tabu Telu"
is somewhat harsh to our ears. The
last two "Lagu Ardja" and "Kemb-
ing Stem" have fascinating piano
accompaniment played a bit too
loudly to Mr. Barreres flute solo.
The Duo-Pianists made an ex-
ceedingly good imitation of the ma
tional coloring. In some respects
the melodies register even better
with our Western powers of percep-
ton because Of the familiar and less
destracting medium of transmission.
Another fine recording by the
same company is made of DebuSSy's
En- Bateau" and Sazedo's Chant
dams la Mutt" played by the late
Casper Reardon, harpist. Mr..
Reardon combines masterful
stroke with fine musicianShip espe-
cially effective in Salzedos num-
ber, written in a Spanish vein.

the attacks made by them on British

Many bad days must this town

kept by the wives, sweethearts ana
daughters of seamen whose snlps
never returned. But the spirit OF
the past survives, and the charm
of the old town persists. 1t Is, IN
itself, a work of art, unconsclousiy

hope and courage, as well as amoi-
ton and a sense of that which Is
both beautiful and fine.
