The ameliorating influence
of the Walter baton still man
ages to make an insinuating
affair of this collection, how

less than Miss Steber can

good dramatist, feared it
would be too much of a show

George London's voice is a
very beguiling instrument. and
under the Walter tutelage it has
acquired an added increment of
expressiveness over what has

A New Gem From Mozart

ly gave us, incidentally. I wish
Columbia did not incline to
over-mike solo voices at the
expense of the orchestra, but
the trait at least is less ap-
parent here than in last years
"CoSi" and the previous Lon
don recordings.
Despite the mentioned res
ervations, these two discs, like
the pairing of the two SYM
phonies, are documents most
Mozart enthusiasts will want
to possess.
1t is one Of the phenomena
OF these days of multiplying
LIPS that a record company
chooses to compete with itself.
Thus Columbia almost stimuli
taneously with the Walter re-
leases has issued under it's
economy label, Entire, a Mo-
zart G minor performed by
Eric Leinsdorf and the Roch-
ester Orchestra, with Schu-
bert's Unfinished" on the
back. This is, be it said, no
real competition for either
Walters Mozart or the already
availa BILE Unfinished" of
Beecham, also fathered by CO.
lumbia. But Leinsdorf's is a
good, straightforward per-
formance of each piece, unus-
ually (for low price LPs) well
engineered.
