Joseph Buttisto Storts VilIu-Lobos
Series for MGM With 'Cirundus' CycIe
By jones G. Deone


MGM is going refreshingly
OF the beaten path with many
Of its new recordings.
What promises to be an in
teresting project has been be-
gun by Joseph Battista with
a 16-piece Villa-Lobos piano
cycle called "Cirandas." Bat
tista, who made an impression
with his recent record OF
Schumann'S "Davidsbundler-
tanze." proposes to do a Villa
Lobos series. The "Cirandas"
pieces, based on Brazilian folk
songs, have much atmosphere
and rhythmic vitality and the
composer achieves some Strik-
ing descriptive passages, such
as one depicting a waterfall.
The pianist learned the music
under the composers guidance
and he plays energetically.
This is a good beginning.
More Schumann also is at
hand. Bartlett and Robertson
capably perform the Op. 46
Andante and Variations along
with the familiar Brahms
Haydn variations. and Mena-
hem Pressler essays the charm
ing little "Blumenstuck," three
romanceS and some attractive
Mendelssohn. MGM also has
combined a George Copeland
Spanish concert formerly on
two 10-inch discs into one
large LIP. The piano sound
here. while acceptable, could
do with some refining.
A MussorgSky disc brings the
revelation that the creator of
Boris" once affected the style
Of Schubert! The evidence is
a sprightly little scherzo, the
excuse that it was Mussorg-
Sky'S first orchestral work.
Another Germanic- sounding
piece-an intermezzo-plus
music from "Khovantschina"
and "The Fair at Sorochinsk"
and the inevitable Might on
Bald Mountain" also are Of
fered, the players being the
Philharmonic Orchestra under
Walter SusSkind. With it's nice
balance of familiar and fresh,
the collection makes for unex-
pected pleasure-more so than
the earlier, more-routine
"Prince Igor" Sampling by the
same performers.
EorIy Mozort
Mozart's ballet, LES Petits
Riens," is also an early piece,
written at % in Paris, but it's
pure Mozart, and delightful.
Paired with Tommasini'S or
chestration of Scarlatti harp
sichord sonataS called Good
Humored Ladies'" it becomes
Well-nigh irresistible, despite
the thinnish recorded sound
accorded Warwick BraithWaite
and the Covent Garden Or
chestra. Boost bass and cut
treble if you can.
Massenet a la Braithwaite
is better served by the engi-
neers. The flashing lie Cid"
ballet score is rousingly pur-
veyed, but even more interest
ing are four "Alsatian Scenes"
charmingly evocative and
hardly known. Two discs evok-
ing Rossini are persuasive. too.
. On one, Rossini's own will
liam Tell" ballet is matched
with two reworkings of various
Rossini pieces by Benjamin
Britten. On the other, the
arranger is Resphigi, the
source, a batch of little tunes
the practically retired opera
composer dashed off under the
whimsical title Sins of My
Old Age" A set of Cimarosa
fragments arranged by Mali
piero is no less attractive. and

sisters in THE Girls of Pleas
ure Island" Like Lii. they
are innocents, three English
girls reared on a manless Pa
cif1c island. Save for their
father. they know Of the other
sex only through reading.
Unlike Lii. the innocence Of
the three Hayward girls falls
into the hands of Hollywood
ties sophisticated in film-
making. It is the sophistica-
ton that dominates. and
grossly mars. the story Of the
sisters when a battalion Of
Marines occupies Pleasure
Island.
What looks so completely
real in the one film looks so
painfully cinema convention in
the other. It's effect is to un-
derscore the injustice Of the
latter to a heroine whose
dramatic potential Is pretty
wonderful in a world thaA
needs heroines badly.

the overture to III Matrimonio
Segreto" makes q pleasant
encore.
Spanish dances make another
enlivening coupling. three be-
ing by Granados. three more
by Joaquin Turina, and all six
being played with a fair quite
belying the origin of the con-
ductor, German-born William
Schuechter. A quintet of tone
paintings by Dochnanyi called
"Ruralia Hungarica" and Ko-
daly'S HAIRY Janos" come off
effectively on a Schuechter
issue too. While we're in
the Dochnanyi department it's
worth mentioning the worthy
pianism Of Fabienne Jacquinot
in Dochnanyi's monumental re-
write Of "Baa Baa Black
Sheep" ("Variations on a
Nursery Tune'D a while back.
The Strauss "Burlesque" is on
the same record-quite a fist
full, all told.
An Able Conductor
A colorful Rimsky-Korsakoff
opus called "Skazka" (Fairy
Tale) is the diverting COM
panion to the partially familiar
Snow Maiden" suite at the
hands of Conductor Anatole
Fistoulari. Fistoulari is an ex-
cellent podium man, a fact
also made evident by an issue
combining Liszt's Les Pre-
ludes' with the rarer MA
Zeppa," and also in a pairing
of TschaikowSky's "Mozarti-
ana" and a suite from an opera
almost unheard Of, THE Slip
pers." "Mazeppa" and "The
Slippers" are both striking
music. Another neglected
Tschaikowsky work, the over
ture fantasy Hamlet" is
companion to Romeo and Ju-
liet," which should please the
heart-on-sleeve clan. Others
may consider the neglect justi-
fed.
It's Maestro Schuechter'S
turn again with Rimsky's Ca
priccio Espagnole" and Ippo-
litov-Ivanoff's "Caucasian
Sketches" but you have to
take the March Slav," too.
Also in anything but the nov
city category are Enesco'S first
"Romanian Rhapsody" and
the five other warhorses on an
other new issue. But no doubt
they'll find their appreciators.
The same can be said of a
batch of Strauss-Offenbachi-
ana led by Franz Lanner.
An Honest Effort
MGM's domestic activity has
been less ambitious than all
this from London. A set of
Aida" and Faust" excerpts is
so far the most imposing pro-
duction this side of the At
lantic. New York City Opera
personnel make an honest ef-
fort, highlighted by some ap-
pealing vocalism from Norman
Scott and Camilla Williams.
But Laszlo Halasz falls short
of instilling the maximum
dramatic pulse, and the vocal
work is hardly the ultimate on
behalf of either Verdi or Gou-
nod.
Brahms lifting "Zigeuner-
Heder" are a worthy acquisi-
ton, but for reasons of engi-
neering or otherwise the voice
of Mezzo Herta Glaz induces
less aural intoxication than it
should. Some Beethoven songs
fill out this disc.
Richard Ellsasser's latest. q
collection of trifles played on a
Hammond organ, is hardly any
competition for his recent,
commendable unearthing Of
Schumann's four evocative
Sketches" done on a stand
ard console.

German Socialist Urges
Positive Action on Unity
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Aug. 14.-Socialist
Chairman Erich Ollenhauer
urged today that the West take
some positive steps toward Ger
man unity. He also proposed an
"open door" attitude to step up
contact between the East and
West zones.
Mr.. Ollenhauer, leading his
party'S campaign against Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer'S con-
servative coalition at the Sep
tember West German elections,
told a news conference:
/. The Western powers and
also Adenauer'S government
failed to take energetic enough
steps" after the June II workers
uprising in the Soviet zone to
bring about unity talks.
2. West Germany should do
everything possible to facilitate
travel with the East Zone with
the attitude "aS though the So
Wet border does not exist"
Mr.. Ollenhauer emphasized
his party'S view that 4-power
talks-not alderman confer
ences as the Communists propose
are needed to unite the split
nation.

At Virginia Beach
Special Dispatch 10 The Stor

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, Aug.
14-The citizens of this resort
sighed in relief today as the
winds of the hurricane which
caused to much damage along
the Atlantic Coast began to
drop. The beach of Virginia
Beach was not damaged.
Last year the community is
sued 100000 in bonds to restore
the beach which was disappear
ing through years of erosion. A
great suction dredge pumped
1.25 million cubic yards of new
sand on the beach at a cost of
$12 million.
Edward H. Church, chairman
of the Virginia Beach Erosion
Commission, said that the beach
had survived.
THE wind is now blowing
from the northwest" he said,
which is good.
"It's the southeast blows that
hit us hardest. Now that it has
swung around to the west it is
keeping the big waves down.
"I checked the beach last night
and the waves were not getting
up to the boardwalk. There was
one thin section about at Six
teenth street, but that seems to
have withStood the waves"

There still was no sign of any
move to end the Walkouts. The
adamant unions already have
widened their demands to in

The unions continued a tieup

cabs and nearly 1000 army
trucks which continued to haul
civilians about the city.
A few trains also were running

being blocked in small villages,
short of their destinations, by
sudden walkouts.
