HMVs Offer 2 by Busch,
Flogstod Sings Dido
By jones 6. Deone

by Sena Jurinac (who also figured
in the Glyndebourne-Busch "Cosi
fan lutte" excerpts). a fine
quartet and some stirring
choruses. The other soloists-
Richard Lewis. Dorothy MacNeil
and Alexander Young-sing capa-
bly,. and the orchestral inter-
weaving is truly inspired. HMV's
engineering is commensurate.
Did Busch and company record
the complete opera last summer
or only these "highlights"? Prob
ably just the present sampling,
which surely is regrettable. But
at least this bird is in the hand.

The role of Dido is a far cry
from Brunnhilde. But in the
hands of Kristen Flagstad ii
proves quite as affecting in its
own way as the more gymnastic
characterizations in which Flag
stad has become famous.
This draught is of considerably
earlier vintage. Purcell composed
the opera in 1859, to words con-
cocted by a picturesque gentleman
named Nahum Tate "a Every
good-natured drinking compan-
ion," according to contemporary
account). The opera tells of the
Inflated love affair of Queen Dido
of Carthage and the Trojan hero
Aeneas. Fate intervenes in the
guise of a sorceress and two
witches. The plot winds up, after
alternating romantic and threat
ening interludes, with Aeneas sail
ing off to Italy. and Dido, after
appropriate lament, committing
suicide.
It is readily apparent why the
opera was such a success when it
was produced a year ago with
Flagstad, Maggie Teyte and 9TH
Iers) in London's quaint 175-seat
Mermaid Theater. The music has
much Of the quality Of the simple
folk songs and madrigals Of the
period. Solos and duets are inter-
spersed with vigorous choruses,
and the orchestral accompaniment
lis lively. The witches, for all their
Ideviltry, are really most delight
full. There are also genuinely
poetic moments. such as Dido's
final lamenting aria, when I am
laid in earth" And one choral
bit is especially notable-it utilizes
an echo effect.
Flagstad's voice has its usual op-
ulence. and Elizabeth Schwarz-
kopf does almost as admirably in
the Teyte role (although her Eng
lish isn't exactly the Kings. The
rest of the cast measures up in
enthusiasm wherever it falls short
in vocal prowess, which isn't often
enough to matter. And the re-
cording is excellent.
The only necessary remaining
commentary is a quotation too
good to go unquoted. from the
witches (who apparently needn't
mind their grammar):
"Our plot has took,
The Queens forsook!
.. Ho, no, ho!"

Important Step in Music
Is Choosing a Teacher
By Alice Eversmon

can guarantee that a teacher
knows how to teach and is equally
successful with every pupil.
The test of a good teacher is to
be found in his students. No book
knowledge, high-class education or
passing of examinations for GER
tif1cation can mean a thing if a
teacher cannot produce results. In
searching for teacher, it is wise
to hear his pupils, many of them.
If, in accordance with the type of
talent the good Lord has given
them, they all do well, the teacher
is the one to whom credit is due.
1t should be stressed at once
that finding the best equipped
teacher possible for a beginner is
of the utmost Importance. The
groundwork laid in the first les
sons will be reflected all during a
musicians life. It is very unwise
to economic by selecting some
one whose prices are low as being
good enough to start a child in
music. The start is important. A
conscientious teacher knows how
difficult it is to interest the young
in dry fundamentals and how tax
ing it is to insist on the best re-
suits being obtained. He deserves
to be we'll paid if he can accom-
plish that.
But it is necessary also to find
a teacher who understands chill
dren and whom the child likes
personally. The bond thus estab-
lished can speed progress. Later,
the personal liking of a student
for his mentor may prevent a
change of instruction that would
be desirable and beneficial. Yet
an earnest teacher should recog-
nize the need and seek to con-
tinue his helpfulness by urging
a change.
It is unfortunately true that
music study still remains a good
bit of a gamble. Good luck brings
a teacher a gifted and willing pu-
pill. Good luck leads a pupil to
a wise and understanding teacher.
Many other factors enter into the
picture. Yet, with all the uncer-
tainty, the test of a well-qualified
teacher is the caliber of work
done by his pupils. This is the
best guide for parents who wish
to give their children a rounded
education in music.

A problem of considerable con-
Germ to many families at this time
of the year is finding. a proper
teacher for their children's musi-
cal education. 1t is not a problem
that only confronts family or
a student at the start of instruc-
ton in music. The search for the
ideal teacher continues as long as
there is any desire in a musician
to learn more. To the advanced
student, great benefit can accrue
from contact with renowned
teachers in the way of a broad
ened outlook. It should be utilized
only when career has started or
is about to start.
During the formative years, care
and thought should be exercised
in changing teachers. Much harm
can be done to the pupil in re-
tarding his advancement and the
teacher may receive unfair treat
ment. The unWarranted and USE
less going from one instructor to
another has troubled the teaching
profession for many. years. The
Music Teachers Association has
recognized this practice as most
detrimental to the standing of a
teacher and made a ruling that
no one could claim to be the pupil
|of an instructor unless he had
studied with him at least two
years. That is a short time for a
teacher to demonstrate his ability
fully but it is a fairer test than
a month or two.
The certification of all music
teachers has been advocated as
the best means of making known
the background of an instructor
and, therefore. preventing charla-
tans to operate. In some places
it has been put into practice. Con-
sulting a register, however. is sell
dom helpful to parents who have
decided it is now feasible to have
their child undertake some kind
OF music study. The list of schools
and teachers. and the public ac-
tivities mentioned, may mean lit
tie to them. Like as not, they
have never heard of some of the
famous names. The career may
impress them most as being in
dicative of special talent or apti-
tude. Yet none of these things

"Idomeneo" is relatively unap.

he didn't conduct it in this
country. The wonderful Linz

What makes the Linz" significant
in this case is a combination oi
factors - Busch and the superb
Danish State Radio Symphony
Orchestra.
The performance in every detail
is a model, and to this is added
the virtue of exceptional repro.
duction. So splendid is this record
ing, in fact, that one is tempted
to call it one of the finest Mozart
records ever made-and I won't
resist the temptation.
The symphony on the oversize
-Haydn's 8Sth-would be equally
recommendable, had not Busch
(and this reviewer with him) been
first a Mozartian, and everything
else afterwards. But only more
Mozart would sound better.
It's a pleasant thought that the
Danish orchestra is coming to
Washington this season. It's only
too bad Busch Cat his death its

ing, too.
p. S.-Would Busch have con-
doned HMV'S jacket notes? They
label Haydn "a peasant" who "re-
manned SUCH" and Mozart a
"thrall of artif1ciality!"
About all most people know of
"Idomeneo" is its exciting over
ture and possibly an aria or two.
OF an antique mode akin to the
operas of Gluck, it has languished
on the stage apparently because
opera producers don't think its
considerable length of arias,
recitatives. choruses and connect
ing orchestral pieces is exciting
enough for modern audiences. Yet
Mozart is said to have priced it
first among all his operas-a
choice Alfred Einstein said any
true musicians could understand.
