Chilean Artist Gives
Recital Next Sunday

Claudio Arrau, the distinguished
Chilean pianist, whose command
of the pianistic repertoire is ex-
traordinary, will give full-length
recital in Constitution Hall Sum-
day, February 25, under the local
management of Dorothy Hodgkin
Dorsey. Although Mr.. Arrau has
appeared here as soloist with the
National Symphony and Phila-
delphia Orchestras, also on other
programs, this will be his first recital
appearance in Constitution Hall.
The gifted pianist holds world
record among his colleagues for
cycle performances. He has played
all of Bach's works for piano and
clavichord in IL recitals, performed
all of Mozart's compositions in
and divided the 80 Beethoven
sonatas into programs. ALI Schu-
berts piano works received a
similar hearing, while two years
ago he performed the feat of giving
25 concerts in Mexico City within
eight weeks.
Mr.. Arrau will play Beethoven S
Sonata in E Flat Major Op 81
No. 81; Mozart's ."Rondo in A
Minor" Schumann's "Carnaval''
and a group of five selections by
Granados, Albeniz,, Debussy, Ravel
and Poulenc.
Evening star., 1945-02-18

Prayer" from "Rienzi" the Mar
rative," from 'Tannhauser," and
the Finale" of "Parsifal."
The purely orchestral portion of
the program will include the Fl
male" from THE Rheingold";;
''Traueme," the Introduction to
Act III, Dance of the Apprentices, +"
Entrance of the Meistersingers"
and Homage to Hans Sachs" from
THE Meistersinger" Good Friday
Spell" from "Parsifal";; Song of
the Rhine Daughters" from "Goet-
terdaemmerung," and overture to
"Rienzi."
The well-known Melchior wit has
gained the tenor new fame with
his recent appearances on the radio,
where he rivaled Fred Allen, Jack
Benny and even Frank Sinatra as
comedian. So successful was his
first venture in this field on Aliens
program that demands have been
pouring in for his services as guest
star. Hollywood hearing about it,
MGM engaged him to do Thrill of
a Romance" with Van johnson and
Esther Williams, where, in addition
to Schubert's "Serenade" and
Griegs "I Love YOU" he sings a
number called please Don't Say
No, SaysMaybe

Record Reviews
BY Alice Eversma an

With the National Symphony
playing an all-Wagner program
this afternoon, Victor's two latest
releases of this composers music
will be of interest.
Foremost among these is the al
bum recorded by Lauritz Melchior,
soloist with the symphony today.
While the feature of the album is
the represSing of the Love Duet"
from Tristan and Isolde" sung
with Kristen Flagstad and the San
Francisco Orchestra, conducted by
Edwin Macarthur; the other num-
bers display the tenor's unmatched
artistry fully. These include the
"Steuermannslied" from THE Fly
ing Dutchman," "Hammerlied" from
"Siegfried,"' the Rome Narrative"
and the 'Hymn of Venus" from
"Tannhauser," all to the accom-
paniment of the Victor Symphony,
Macarthur directing, and the "Gral-
serzaelung" from "Lohengrin" with
the Philadelphia Orchestra con-
Quoted by Eugene Ormandy.
"Bruenhilde's Immolation" from
THE Twilight of the Gods" is
magnilcently presented in album
form by the NBC Symphony under
Toscanini's direction with the great
American Wagnerian singer, Helen
Traubel, as Bruennhilde. This is
another instance of Toscanini's keen
understanding of Wagner, and with
Miss Traubel's assistance the re-
cording is dramatic and impressive.
A volume of songs and spirituals
sung by Marian Anderson has been
released also by Victor. In splendid
voice the famous contralto begins
her list with Massenet's "Elegie"
and Rachmaninoff's when Night
Descends" in both Of which she has
the assistance of the eminent viol-
ist, William Primrose, with Franz
Rupp at the piano. To Mr.. Rupp's
accompaniment she sings further
Brahms "Die Schnur, Die Perl an
Perle," the Spross-Benjamin "Will
o. the Wisp," Lehmann's "The
Cuckoo" Comm Through the
Rye" and three spirituals, my
Souls Been Anchored in the Lord" !"
Hard Trials" and 'Dere's No Hidin'
Place Down Here"
