Review of Recordings

The changes can be discovered IN
the second and final movements.
The 10-year- old composer is carried
away by lovely dreaming mood in
the Andante of the first symphony
and gives way to a gleeful prankish-
ness in the concluding movement. In
No. "a. the Andante holds note OF
disenchantment in its broad, smooth
melody which leads to. an almost
angry vehemence as he skips the
customary minuet (which was never
completed) and goes Immediately
into the finale. The romanza of
the concerto is resigned, the COM
poser finding comfort in the simple
Germanic theme and even the fiery
conclusion is tempered with a sad
restrain.
While the Boston Symphony plays
superbly under Mr.. KousSevitzky'S
direction with awealth of nuance
and sentiment at its command. the
most striking performance is that
of Mr. Iturbi in the role of piano
soloist CriSpneSs. brilliancy and
splendid musical conception make
this an outstanding reading of one
of the greatest and most graceful
concertos of the piano literature. He
has progressed also in the blending
of the dual role of conductor and
soloist, an old-time custom which he
has revived, and there is not the
slightest break or change when he
lays down the baton and becomes
the solo artist.

Mozart was l8, "a and 29 years

these three works. He had only
six years of life left to him after

these examples of his versatility
also cover half lifetime's de-
velopment. Not the least of the
many points of progress represented
here is the poignant change from
carefree light-heartedness to seri-
business and sorrow. Thus in the
first symphony is to be found the
youthful delight in his powers and
the fast-f1oWing thoughts of con-
slant freshness and beauty. The

of a certain defiance against fate
and the beginning of a maturity that

Popular Music

The music of swingdom's capri
cious boy, Alec Wilder, gets full
airing in a new set of Columbia
discs. Known mainly through his
records. for the good reason that
his unit has yet to capitalize on
fields beyond the limits of recording
studios. Wilder nonetheless has
made his mark on present-day mu-
sic for dancing-or more properly,
listening. Curious orchestrations are
his principal forte, although he is
entitled to as much esteem as Ray
mond Scott and Fabian Andre as
composer of dipsy-doodle pieces and
inventor of titles emphasizing the
"dipSy." Wilder's outfit is an octet
comprised of clarinet, bass clarinet,
flute, oboe, bassoon, harpsichord,
bass and drums. An imaginative
combination and declectable under
Wilder's hands whether used, for
tunes of wide popularity or Alec's
own meandering, atmospheric COM
positions. The latter make up the

Gallo Brings
to
Water Gate
First Summer
Season Here to
Open August 13

Washington is accustomed to hav-
ing many people of many types and
degrees of ability take its musical
destiny in hand for varying lengths
of time and various kinds of pro-
grams. 1t remained for a small,
gray-haired and gray-eyed italian
who made this country his adopted
land close to the beginning of the
current century to bring the Ma
tional Capitals first real summer
season of grand opera. Fortune
Gallo will present his San Carlo
Opera Co. in series of seven eve
nings of eight operas, beginning
Wednesday, August 13. The final
program, August 10. will be a per-
formance of the inseparable favor
ties, "Cavalleria Rusticana" and Il
Pagliacci"
Mr.. Gallo has been real pioneer
in the history of grand opera in
America. 1t was more than a quar-
ter of century ago that he first
thoroughly established successful
tours of this land with this alien
form of entertainment. He is largely
responsible for the intelligent,
opera-c conscious audience that is to
be found from coast to coast now
people who, through the San Carlo
Co, have come to know and love
the classics of that art.
The full list of operas for the fes-
tival follows: La Traviata,"
Wednesday, August 13, Lucille Meu-
sci american coloratura soprano)
in the title role; Butterfly" August
IA, Hizi Hoyke (the most amazing
of all interpreters of this role-the
very gifted japanese soprano);
Aida August Is, with Mobley
Lushanya brilliant American In
dian dramatic soprano); Carmen"
August 16, with Carmen sung by Coe
Glade and Michaela by Char
lotte Simmons (both Americans;
Martha August II, with Miss
Meusel; II Trovatore," August 18,
with Miss Lushanya, and ''Caval-
leria Rusticana," August 10, with
Miss Lushanya. The principals for
the companion opera, Il Pagliacci,"
have not been announced.
C. C. Cappel, Washington man
ager for this festival, announces
that Mr.. Gallo is adhering strictly
to the very modest scale of prices
that is part of his tradition for these
performances. In case of postpone
ment of any opera because of rain,
the same work will be given one of
the evenings in the latter part of the
second week of the festival dates.
Many reservations already have
been made. The tickets are now
available at Mr.. Cappel's Concert
Bureau, 1340 G street NV.

This Is the group which C. c.

ridian Hill Park Tuesday and Fri
day evenings. The two concerts
will be the Traps first public ap-

They sing with spontaneity
that bellies their expert musician
ship-old madrigals and chorals,

been particularly commended for
their performance of liturgical mu-
SIC. In this they are fortunate in

he was organist at the Austrian

The concerts will open with a

Bach's How Brightly Shines the
Morning Starl" This will be fol-
lowed by Ave Vernum Corpus"
by Mozart, and a Regina Coeli." by
the 10th century composer, Gregor

gram will open with the work of
another 10Th century composer Or
lando di Lasso. Palestrina,s great
contemporary. Next will come the
motet. "CruX Fidelis" written by
King John " of Portugal. Finally
in this opening group the Traps
will sing the "Kyrie" and "Agnus
Die from Pedestrians "MiSsa

In contrast to such solemnly beau
tiful music. the Traps delight in
singing secular songs whose lyrical
or humorous passages they turn with
expert grace. Here they range from

The Traps always devote the
last half of their concerts to folk
songs, and their appearances here
will follow that rule They will sing
jolly tunes from Styria, Carintha
and the Tyrol, complete in some
instances with yodels and mountain
calls. These were never written
down until the young Traps, hik-

them from milkmaids and herds

than that, it drew the largest single
ticket sale in the history of the Dell.
Undoubtedly Miss Monroe and Mr.
Melton accounted for much of this,
but there is no question that the
third party in this boX-office trium-
virate was composer named
Herbert.
Herbert, who still is box
Office attraction II years after his
death. was born in Dublin in 1859.
He was q years old when he came
to New York. where his wife. Therese
Herbert -Furster had been engaged
at the Metropolitan Opera House
From then on Mr.. Herbert's career
was entirely identified with this
country and its music.
Beginning as first cellist in the
Metropolitan orchestra, he soon

became a prominent figure in the
concert life Of New York. He played
in concerts with Anton Seidl and
Theodore Thomas, composed works
for the cello and appeared in one of
his own cOncertOS with the New
York Philharmonic lin 1894 and
was bandmaSter of the 22d Regiment
of the National Guard of New York.
After six years as conductor of the
Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra ne
returned to New York to devote
himself exclusively to composition.
In the meantime he had discov-
cred in himself a fair for operettas,
and he developed an amazing
fecundity in their composition. Be-
tween 1894 and 1917 he produced 35
of them, and. although he wrote two
grand operas. one of which,
"Natoma." achieved a considerable
popularity. it is chiefly for his light
operas that he is so well remembered
and beloved by the American public.
Mention to most people "operetta'

Of these Herbert works does not dim.
A production of one of them will
bring out capacity audiences. and to
the movies they provide plots that
can be used again and again without
growing stale.

But to come back to Victor Her
bert. The first part of the concert
will be an all-Victor Herbert pro-
gram, and that is how it should be.
For, although Herbert was born in
the most Irish of cities, he was an
American by adoption and. next to
Gershwin, probably the most pop
ular of our own composers. As
proof of the latter. Miss Monroe
can tell you about a concert she
and James Melton gave with the
Philadelphia Orchestra at Robin
Hood Dell less than two weeks ago.
1t was an all-Victor Herbert pro-
