Review of Recordings

| OF sentiment and style which
brings the composer closer to our
time and our modern ways of ex-
preston.
That music is a solace in time of
distress, or an escape from con-
Hlctlng emotions or family twists,
has been confirmed once again in
Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 in F
|, Major played by the Philharmonic
Orchestra under Bruno Walter Co.
lumbia. Composed at a time when
Beethoven was known to be con-
slderably disturbed emotionally by
his brothers conduct, the symphony
bears no evidence of the inner con-
f1ict and belongs to the "happiest"
OF the three happy" symphonies.
This opus contains also a tribute to
the famous inventor of the metro
nome Mael1el the "allegretto" of
the second movement being an elab-
Grafton of a canon improvised at a
dinner In honor Of Maelzel. The
marked rhythm Of the movement
under Mr.. Walters skilfull baton
reminds one strongly of the ticking
OF that ingenious mechanical device,
which was destined to play such an
important part in the lives of many
music students.
Contrary to his practice OF show
ing only the sunny side of life and
leaving his own tragic existance in
the shadow, Mozart created one
masterpiece which tells the world of
his trials and fading hopes. 1t is
in his Quintet in G Minor, K 516"
for two violins, two violas and cello,
presented expertly by the Budapest
Quartet (Columbia), that we can
f1nd one Of those passionate out
bursts OF protest and resignation
not commonly associated with his
pen Written in his favorite key
OF G minor, the composer shows the
deeper side OF his nature and an in
tensity OF feeling hardly duplicated
IN any OF his other works. Needless
to say that its charm is enhanced
by the excellent execution of the
players.
NlCIldru StTauSS Don 6u1XOte," !"
the last of the composers famous
tone poems created exactly so years
ago, appears in new recording by
Columbia Co.. interpreted by the
Pittsburgh Symphony, Fritz Reiner,
conducting. Although severely criti-
clzed when first performed, Strauss
work is destined for a long life not
only because Of its being a musical
illustration of famous book. but
also because of the bold and mas
terful treatment of the subject. Mr..
Reiner imbues the opus with vi
tality and vigor, assisted by Gregor
Platigorsky in the solo cello part,
who has been assigned the difdcult
task Of identifying his instrument
wit hthe hero Of the tone poem.

Christmas Music
Bv Howard Choir

The choir and mems glee club Of
Howard University, under the direc-
ton of Warner Lawson, dean of the
school Of music, will present pro-
gram of Christmas music in the An
drew Rankin Memorial Chapel today
at $50 pm.
The annual Christmas program is
tradition, both at the college and
among music lovers of the city. This
year marks the 21st annual program,
which was begun by the late Dean
Lucy SloWe as candlelight pro-
cessional sponsored by the young
women of the university.
A new note of musical interest,
using as a central motif the ideal
of world brotherhood, is injected
into this years program. This motif
is carried out in the music by the
selection of characteristic Christmas
music from various countries of con-
tinental Europe and America. An
other factor of musical interest will
be found in the fact that for the
first time the mems glee club will
join the choir in presenting this pro-
gram.
Appearing with the musical or
ganizations as narrator will be
Howard Thurman. dean of the
chapel DR. Thurman will offer
several readings which will serve as
unifying element, tying the music
more closely to the world brother
hood motif.

The last recording made with the
assistance of the late Frederick

Chicago Symphony Orchestra, was
recently released by Victor. Bee
thoven's Concerto No. in G Ma

thoven's exponent. Arthur Schnabel,
pianist, takes one back 1876 years,
when the work was performed by
the composer himself at a special
subscription concert at the home Of
his patron, Prince Lubkowitz, in
Vienna
The recorded performance Of Mr..
Schnabel with Mr.. Stock on review,
is unusual for the perfect team
work in ensemble and spirit. Pearly
scales, brilliant passages, exquisite

FRANCES NASH,

Matelot," by one of the famous
French modernist composers, Darius
Milhaud. But what held them in
their seats and sent them home
happy was the light tripping music
and witty text of a little musical
farce called Amelia Goes to the
Ball. This opera has since been
performed by the Metropolitan
Opera Co. and by leading opera
houses in Europe. Because of its
success, NBC officials commissioned
Composer Menotti to write another
opera. He accepted the commits
sion but took his time about writing
it. To the annoyance of MICS pro-
gram arrangerS, it was not until
some time later that Menotti put
his finishing touches to the score
and The Old Maid and the Thief"
was performed for the first time in
1898.
Like Amelia" Menottis second
opus was farcical satire on femi-
nine Wiles. To a slight nbretto
Menotti added flippant but crafts
manlike score, bristling with the
tart melodies and limpid orchestra
ton. Because Menotti believes that
opera should be more informal and
more intelligible to the masses, the
young composer dresses up opera
with modern scenery and clothes
and presents it in the language of
the country. ONLY with these in
gradients, Menotti declares, will the
future of opera in America be
assured.
Other operas in English to be
presented are The Bat" Johann
Strauss famous opera, on Monday
night, January 4, and The Mar
riage of Figero," by Mozart, on
Tuesday, January 5. On January 6
there will be double bill, Puccinis
The Cloak" as we'll as The Old
Maid and the Thief by Menotti.

afternoon, March 9. at 4 o'clock.
The current nemesis of travel
ing music groups-transporta-
tion-is said to be the difficulty
behind the cancellation of the

stitution Hall had been engaged
and tickets placed on sale. The

Frances Nash, Who Is to Introduce New
Concerto at Today's Concert, Has
Gained International Reputation

Frances Nash will introduce the
BortkieWitz piano Concerto in B
Flat Minor" to Washington this
afternoon at Constitution Hall when
she appears as soloist with the
National Symphony Orchestra. Miss
Nash is Washingtonian whose
success as a concert pianist has
been hailed on three continents.
Her most recent appearance in this
city was with the Philadelphia Or
chestra last spring. Invited by
Serge Koussevitsky. who considers
her an outstanding Mozart inter-
prefer, to play a concerto by that
composer with the Boston SYM
phony in Boston, Miss Nash was
unable to accept his invitation be-
cause of her appearance here with
DR.. Kinder and the National SYM
phony in New York early in the new
year.
The opening number of the pro-
gram will be Corelli's Concerto
Crosse No. g." which was written
for Christmas eve, 17l2. MilIard
Taylor and Marguerite Kuehne will

Notes
Widener Exhibition
Important Event at
National Gallery
By Florence S. Bergman.

Dv ItOTeUCe y. DeTJ JWUU.
The opening of the Widener COL
lection at the National Gallery of
Art this afternoon constitutes one
of the few major events in the cul-
tural field that one can expect to
enjoy in a lifetime. Officially, the
National Gallery and its superb COL
lections are possessions of the Ma
ton; actually, they belong most
fully to us who live here in Wash
ington and whose good fortune it is
to be able to drop into this magnifi-
cent building and enjoy its contents
at frequent intervals.
1t is impossible to imagine any
future period of two years (or in
deed many times thaD during which
the Nation and our Capital City will
be so vastly enriched as it has been
since 1940 The Mellon collection,
and the National Gallery to house
it, comprised the greatest single cul-
tural gift to the United States
throughout its existence The Kress
collection of Italian Renaissance
painting and sculpture placed our
gallery on a par with Great Brit
aims National Gallery in presenting
the most complete history, outside
of Italy, of the italian schools de-
velopment.
Now the Widener collection adds
incompatible examples of paintings
by masters of Northern Europe to
supply qualitatively the lack in the
earlier gifts, and hence enables the
National Gallery to take its place
with the worlds great art museums.
There is still room for gifts, particu-
larly in the earlier French and
Spanish schools. The loans from
Chester Dale supply a comprehen-
slve review of French painting of
the 10Th century.
Italian Renaissance paintings, too,
In the Widener collection are works
OF such exceptional interest and
quality that they are acquisitions
coveted by other museums. Gio-
vanni Bellinis Feast of the Gods"
and his "Orpheus" are justly cele-
brated. In addition to their mas
terful execution and rich color, they
seem to symbolic in a haunting way
the Arcadia or Elysium representing
the fulfillment of heart desire, of
which most people dream at some
time.
The gallery's enviable group of
Raphaels gains, in Mr.. Widener's
Small Cowper Madonna" an en-
chanting work of the painters early
career. The Youthful David" by
Andrea del Castagno, is a painted
parade shield by one of Florence's
rarest masters. Neroccio di Landi, a
Slenese master is responsible for
another unique work, portrait of
beautiful blond young woman, richly
bejeweled.
Titians Venus and Adonis' is one
OF the outstanding masterpieces: in
addition, there is a pair of portraits
by him representing the Spilimbergo
sisters, which are phychologically
interesting as well as masterpieces
of painting. One of them appears
to be assured and poised, the type of
handsome young woman socially
well adjusted and confident: the
other seems meditative, aloof, re-
served. The backgrounds emphasize

Alumni and Students
Exhibition at C0rc0ran

The Corcoran alumni and students
sales exhibition, which opened De-
cember IL, is the best display the
gallery has had in this annual series.
1t is also the largest. One hundred
works in oil, water color, drawing
and print mediums and Is sculptures
have been contributed by 81 exhibit
tors. Prices range from SO to $50.
The general effect of the exhibi-
tlon is pleasant and colorful, and a
goodly proportion Of the works shown
impress one as suitable decorations
for the average home. Their subjects
are agreeable and executed in con-
servative technique5, and the color
schemes are such as would harmon
lze with domestic interiors.
Eight or 10 of the exhibitors have
already made names for themselves,
both locally and nationally, and
some of them have received impor-
tant awards. In addition, there are
attractive exhibits by artists whose
names are new ito the reviewer at
leasO. Naturally, visitors should not
expect that the established artists
can offer their most important works
within the price range limit set for
these sales shows. Keeping this fact
in mind, the public will doubtless be
surprised at the creditable character
of many of the exhibits. 1t is certain
that they are much better adapted
to daily association than are many
works by internationally famous
artists which command prices in four
figures.
