Hymn Festival

Appointment OF working commit
tees to handle arrangements for
the community hymn festival at
Constitution Hall November 20 at
pm were announced yesterday by
DR.. Frederick E. Reissig, executive
secretary of the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches. The hymn
festival is expected to bring to-
gether several hundred of the lead
ing church choristers of Greater
Washington, and several thousand
members of all denominations.
Announcing the purpose of the
hymn festival, DR.. Reissig declared:
These are days when we need to
reassure each other in the matters
of our faith. Singing the great re-
ligious hymns of the ages together
across racial and denominational
lines has a spiritual life that scarce
ly any other experience can match.
Committee members are as fol-
lows: Program, the Rev. Ralph w.
Loew, associate pastor Reforma-
ton Lutheran Church, chairman,
and Theodore Schaefer, minister
Of music and organist at Covenant
First Presbyterian Church: Har-
wood Hall, minister of music at
First Baptist Church, and LoVia

Record ReViev
Bv Alice Eversman.

There is much music that has re-
ceived less appreciation simply be-
cause conductors have either over
looked 1t or classified is as inferior
for serious consideration. Such Is
Tschaikowsky's "Capriccio Italien''
which Columbia releases as played
by the New York Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra conducted by
Sir Thomas Beecharn. A noble read
ing lifts this work into another cate
CORY and while retaining its bright,
agreeable characteristics is also pre-
sented as q work of art.
Stokowski's arrangement Of music
from Moussorgsky's Boris Godou-
nov" played by the All-American
Orchestra and conducted by him is
also on the Columbia list. The ar
rangement is highly dramatic but
has less Of the striking contrasts
found in DR.. Kindler's transcript
ton. As usual, the All-American
Orchestra is a noisy group without
any Of the smooth color scheme
Stokowski has attained In former
years. The orchestra does better
work in the two shorter numbers,
the Novacek Perpetual Motion"
and the Ritual Fire Dance" from
de Falla's Eel Amor Brujo," both in
the Stokowski arrangement and re-
corded on q single 12-inch disc.
BY this time, 1t Is suficient to say
that there is q new chamber music
recording by the Budapest String
Quartet for 1t to be synonymous with
excellence. Beethoven's Quartet
No. II In r Minor, Op. 95" is cata-
logued In Columbia's Masterworks

that In which he plays the most

f@otes
Rachnaninof to
Play Many of His
Own Compositions

Sergei Rachmaninoff, celebrated
Russian pianist and composer, makes
his only Washington appearance Of
the 1942-43 season when he comes
to Constitution Hall next Sunday
afternoon, November Is at o'clock,
in recital under the management OF
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey. Rach-
'maninon will play program COM
posed entirely of his own compost
tions and those of Chopin and Liszt.
The Chopin works will occupy the
entire first half of the recital, up to
the intermission.
The pianist is expected to arrive
in war-crowded Washington next
Sunday morning for his perform
ance here that afternoon. He will
probably be accompanied by Mrs.
Rachmaninoff, a charming, distin-
guished, self -effacing woman who
accompanies the artist on most of
his tours. Rachmaninof Is an en-
thusiastic walker but he is just as
enthusiastic about starting his con-
certs and recitals on time. He
usually arrives at Constitution Hall
about a half hour before concert
time. During the performance, Mrs.
Rachmaninoff watches from the
wings. After the performance he
will gravely ask what she thought of
his playing and she will tell him.
She is a good musician and when
vacationing, they like to play four
hands at the piano for their own
diversion.
Rachmaninoff spends a lot of time
on trains, as do all famous artists.
This bores him but he tries to be
good sport about it. He was re-
Gently overheard to remark to the
Pullman porter who was slowing his
luggage in compartment: well,
home again!"
One time, in small, Midwestern
town, the plaster in his white
washed hotel room came loose and
some pieces fell on him. THE life
of an artist" exclaimed Rachmani-
nof, with wry smile.

Twelfth Season
OF the National
Symphony Opens
New Forum Group
Fills Boxes for
T0day's Concert

This afternoon at o'clock in Con-
stitution Hall the National SYM
phony Orchestra will open its 18th
season. DR.. Hans Kinder, the or
chestra's founder and conductor, has
chosen the Seventh (war) SYM
phony," by Dimitri Shostakovich, as
the climax of the program. This
much-publicized symphony, written
during the seige of Leningrad last
year, will be preceded by Weber's
overture to "Oberon" and the Third
Brandenburg Concerto" by Bach.
Another feature of this afternoons
concert will be the fact that for the
first time in the history of the Or
chestra the boxes for the Sunday
afternoon concerts are sold out. A
newly-organized National Symphony
Forum, made up of young men and
women working in the various de-
partments and bureaus of the Gov
ernment, have taken over 40 of the
boxes. This group has made ar
rangements to meet on the 10 Thurs
day evenings before the 10 Sunday
afternoon concerts at the Phillips
Gallery to discuss the program and
to hear the music, either on record
ings or on the piano. This last
Thursday evening, at the first meet
Ing OF the forum, DR.. Kinder gave q
half hours talk on the Shostakovich
Seventh Symphony" after which a
private recording of the composition
was played.
To begin the new season of We'd
nesday concerts, an l-subscription
series, DR.. Kinder has selected very
speciahmusical program in collabora-
ton with Jascha Heifetz. violinist,
who will play two concertos: Mozart's
Concerto in D Major" and Proko-
fieff's Concerto No. g." There will
also be first performance, world
premiere. of Bernard Wagenaar's
"Feuilleton," written especially for
and dedicated to DR.. Kinder. An
other important composition will be
William Boyce's Symphony No. l."
as arranged by Constant Lambert,
young and contemporary English
composer. Boyce was a noted Eng
lish organist and composer of the
18th century whose great work was
the collection of cathedral music.
Those interested in hearing the
Wednesday night series of National
Symphony concerts this winter are
reminded that it is necessary to be a
season ticket holder to order to at
tend. After the Heifetz concert this
coming Wednesday evening there
will be no public sale of single tickets
to individual concerts.

Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, which falls this
season, will be celebrated by group
of Washington musicians Friday

Phillips Gallery has been granted
the artists for this occasion. The
two consecutive programs, in a form
of a series, will include Mrs. Beach's
major works for chamber music
played by the Sayn String Quartet
and assisting artists.
Those participating are Nine.
Julia Elbogen, pianist: Elena de
Sayn, violinist; Kenton F. Terry,
flutist; Louise Enrman, violoncellist;
Myron Kahn, violinist. and Harold
Niessenson. violist, the latter three

she created significant works for
chorus, orchestra, violin and piano,
and wrote many songs, some of
which will be performed during the
celebration at the Phillips Gallery.
Washington had the opportunity
of hearing Mrs. Beach twice within
the last II years. In 1881 she
played in a special concert, held at
the Shoreham Hotel with Miss de

in the present presentation of her
violin and piano sonata. Mrs. Beach

tired little working girls Of New
York's industrial centers. Martha
in Pajamas," by Pene du Bois, is a
subject equally relaxed and informal,
but not fatigued.
Henry Schnakenberg's 'Yvonne"
is gaunt, square-jawed young
woman with sinister quality; the
girl in Morris Kantor's Revere" is
painted in a harsh color scheme of
red, emerald and olive green's, which
makes her complexion seem jaun-
diced. Marie" by Franklin Wat
kins, has the most peculiar facial
expression in the exhibition: she
appears to be thoroughly indig-
nant. Edward Hopper's 80 Paint
ing" is composed of an intent profile
and a mass of hair.
A few nudes in the group are
quite varied. Doris Rosenthal's
"Washstand" is serving a brown girl
bathing in a reddish-brown interior.
