Ranging through the Russian

Miss Swarthout found little-used
songs like the prayer from Tschai-
kowsky's Cantata Moscow" Cuts

made" Borodin's "DisSonance" and
Rimsky- -Korsakoff's Song of the

1t was great relief to hear
something new and different. Even
when Miss Swarthout gave Tschsi-

have a fresh import in juXtaposi-
ton TO the others that had evil

Mr.. Meltons voice has all the
qualities to bring him to the fore
most OF the tenor ranks. As yet. he
has not quite arrived. In the
matter of tonal values, his excellent.
fresh voice. resonant and freely
produced. needs more color through
out with more warmth, particularly
IN the upper registers.
He is serious in his attitude and
understands the fine line OF bel
canto but has not yet attained the
supreme polish nor the ultimate in
artistic penetration. Except for q
few numbers. his interpretati tions fell
just short of the highest goal
His success was real, Just the

Handel's "XerXes." Durante' s DANA,

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1941-12-06
By MEL NoyIKoFF

In discussing the work Of Nous
sorgsky, introduced in the last
article, one must include the name
Of Nicholas r msky- Korsakoff
(ls44-1e0s). To the latter must
20 a large share of the credit for
bringing Moussorgskys compost
tions to public attention. II there
ever were two sides TO an argu-
ment, this is a typical instance.
Had not Korsakoff re-orchestrated
and smoothed over some of those
works it Is unlikely that they ever
would have been known. On the
other hand. Korsakoff, consciously
or unconsciously, has destroyed
much of what the composer is
trying to say.
Only in very recent years has
the worthiness of the original
manuscripts begun to be appre-
.ciated and transcriptions per-
formed. Pioneer in this task, Leo
pold Stokowski has said in his
program notes of Boris Godunov"
and Pictures at an Exposition:
although Moussorgsky and
Rimsky- korsakoff were init
mate friends, and for q time
lived together rs brothers, yet
~ creative musicians they
were at opposing poles. Their
approach 10 music was totally
different. With generous in
tentions, Rimsky Korsakoff
tried to re-orchestrate and re-
form Boris. Instead, he made

received in the capacity Of pro-
lessor of practical composition at
the St Petersburg conservatory,
a position he vainly assumed at
a time when his musical knowl-
edge was less than that of the
students he taught. He bluffed
his way through with astounding
success, and by the time they
began TO find him out. he was on
the way 10 becoming a prominent
figure among Russian musiciansl
Perhaps IT In because Of this
limiuess energy that Korsakoff's
life was not quite as colorful as
some OF his contemporaries. At
least. 1t was good deal more
normal and conventional. The fine
points OF his music-the magic
tone coloring and harmonies, his
nswless technique-easily compen-
safe for whatever else might be
lacking. korsakoff was not a ge-
MUS. and knowing his limitations
