? Degrees and 8 Languages
Led Leroy to Hit Parade
By ChorIes Mercer

For a long time he wanted to
be a professor of languages.
He learned French, German,
Italian, Danish, Norwegian,
Swedish and Icelandic. He
worked his way through two
degrees at Harvard where he
was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
He served five years in the
United States Army as an in
telligence officer in World War
II and during the Korean re-
call program.
But music has been in An
derSon since his childhood in
Boston where his father was
a postal clerk. At II he was
studying at the New England
Conservatory of Music. At IL
he finished his first compost
ton, a minuet for string quar-
tet. He learned to play the
organ, piano, bass fiddle and
tuba. AS an undergraduate
he led the Harvard band and
did all its arrangements.
Played Woy Up
Studying languages at Har-
ward he supported himself as
a musician and arranger for
orchestras around Boston.
While working on his Phi. D.,
his love for music overwhelmed
his plan to teach languages.
At 81 he was top arranger and
a guest conductor for the Bos-
ton Pops. His popular num-
Der, Jazz Pizzicato," was the
result. Since then he's con-
Quoted orchestras all over the
country.
Is he a frustrated long hair
who happened to hit the popu-
lar jackpot?
Anderson blinks his blue
eyes with surprise.
"All a composer can do" he
said, lis to write what he feels
and do it as best he can.
Whether it's popular is up to
the public"
Whot's Inspiration?
He lives and works in North
Woodbury., Conn, with his
wife and two young sons and
one daughter.
"At least I know I'm work.
ing, even when I don't seem
to be doing anything" Ander-
son said.
Inspiration?
whats inspiration?" asked
Anderson.
mo-" he added, II just don't
think there's such a thing as
inspiration in creating music.
There's just judgment. You
bring all the possibilities to-
gether and then you exercise
your judgment"

NEW YUM.
A tall. Nordic- looking man
walked up Fifth avenue in the
rain, humming to himself. A
bus started up with a loud
"throom" The: man jerked
his head and scowled at the
bus. In a moment he resumed
humming. Another bus roared,
"throom!" The man stopped
humming.
And that" said the man,
Composer Leroy Anderson, lis
why l live as far out in Con-
necticut as I can CO."
At A, Anderson seems to
have broken all the popular
rules on how to become a
composer of hit tunes-except
one: Music never stops run
ming through his head.
Hit Everywhere
Take this Blue Tango"
Any one hep to the Tin Pan
Alley formula would have FORE
cast a lemon. At first it APP
peared to have no catchy tune,
no tricks. It was just a tango
in semiclassical style played
by a 50-piece symphony or
chestra.
Blue Tango" was the top
tune on the Nations juke boxes
in 1852. Decca has sold almost
2 million recordings Of it. Now
it's a hit in France, Germany
and England. Why?
Il haven't the vaguest idea"
said Anderson.
That goes for others of his
many hits: Sleigh Ride" The
Syncopated Clock" 1.-THE
Waiting Cat" Fiddle Faddle,"
1.-THE Pennywhistle Song"
Americans like to fit their
composers into neat categories:
Tin Pan Alley tunesmiths and
long hairs.
Anderson refuses to get in
one groove.

same ground as THE Barber
of Seville" Don Pasquale,"
THE Marriage of Figaro" and
the other acknowledged mas
terpieces. But it's still charm
ing music. Take four grumpy
husbands, add four sly wives,
season with a pair of anxious
lovers and mix with melody
and you have it-quite tasty,
even if the plot is ridiculous.
Aida Noni and Fernando CO.
rena, both known from pre-
vious recordings, are among
the more attractive singers,
and the rest of the cast does
pleasantly by it all. Cetra's
sound is virtuously lacking in
the shrillness which has
marked some Italian record
ings in the past.
New 'CovoIIerio'
Nearly. but not quite. the
same "Cavalleria Rusticana"
that was heard last Tuesday
in the Capitol Theater is the
latest result of the collabora-
ton between Columbia and
the Metropolitan Opera. Rich
ard fuckers fervent Turiddu,
Mildred Miller's Lola and
Thelma Votipka's Lucia all are
present on the recording. In
this case the Santuzza is Mar
garet HarshaW, whose voice
pourS forth with surprising
richness and ease considering
that she was a mezzo only
while ago. And the vengeful
Alto is Frank Guarrera, who
appeared at the Capitol thrice
but not in this opera. The per-
Torrance, here under Fausto
Cleva, is dramatically intense.
There was disturbing guam
tity of ShrillneSS in some
places when I played my copy,
Notwithstanding Columbia's
engineers ought to be able to
prevent. The opera can be
obtained on three discs paired
with "Pagliacci." or on two
with some Verdi overtures. It
should be noted, incidentally,
that Victor is coming out in
the fall with a new recording
embracing the same double bill.
Might be worth waiting for a
comparison.
One From Moscow
The most interesting thing
about May Night" a Rimsky-
korsakoff opus newly imported
from MoscoW's Bolshoi The
alter by Vanguard, is the fact
that the cast of characters in
cludeS a number of mermaids!
What sort Of a spectacle this
makes on the Bolshoi stage can
only be guessed, but the part
of the opera in which the
watery creatures participate
Act Ills most charming. For
the balance of the work, which
is concerned with retired Co.'S
sacks, village commissars (pre-
Revolutionary, a haunted
house and the fortunes of a
rural love affair, I can't muster
unmitigated enthusiasm. De-
spite some lively choruses and
pleasant melodies, things move
pretty deliberately. The re-
corded sound is surprisingly
good.
London is responsible for a
couple of attractive 1O-inch
packages of excerpts-Basso
Corona and a baritone named
Aldo Profit sharing one and
Mario del Monaco sturdily
monopolizing the other. The
music is all Italian.
Maestro Andre Kostelanetz
supplies the coup de grace to
today's roundup. though, with
an item called La Boheme
for Orchestra. It's labeled
Puccini, but I have my doubts.

So Rich a Flow of Music
Recording of Smetono's 'Burtered Bride
Is Imported From CzechosIovukiu
TurntobIe Talk
By Jones 6. Deone

Despite the familiarity of
its overture, Smetana'S Bar
tered Bride" is a rare enough
commodity to command spe-
cial interest in its appearance
in complete recording.
The issue is Urania's, the
source the National Theater in
Prague, and the all-around
quality is excellent, all of
which leads to the comment
that this is high time. Apart
from Wagner, few composers
have written operas where the
flow Of melody is so rich. And
with the melody Smetana
blended some diverting comedy.
1t isn't of the most refined
sort-one of the characters
stutterS-but after all, the set
ting Is rural Bohemia. I don't
know any of the singers, but
they perform zestfully, with
Milada Musilova especially eff
fective in the soprano lead.
There Is also some splendid
choral work, and the recorded
sound is smooth and clear.
Czech, of course, is the Ian
guage.
Rich music also, but of
decidedly more somber char
acter, is Arrigo Boito's Me
f1stofele." Boito is better
known as the librettist for
Verdi's "Otello" and "Fal-
staff" Here he reversed
things and, taking parts of
Goethe's Faust" as his text,
turned to composing the mu-
sic. Striking music it is, al
most Wagnerian or Berliozan
in its lush scoring and gigantic
conception. with plenty of ex-
citing orchestral and choral
activity along with the solo
work. Giulio Neri. a baSso
with a big. resonant voice,
makes quite a devilish devil.
Gianni Poggi's tenor is effec-
tive in the part of Faust, al
though it loses some of it's
smoothness in a few high
reaches. Rosetta Noli. as Mar
guerite, has a good voice,
which she uses adequately.
Simona Dall'Argine's portrayal
of Helen of Troy is a high spot.
Franco Capuana. the conduc-
tor, let's things get out of hand
momentarily in one or two
places. but on the whole
the performance maintains a
splendid pace. The recording
was made in Milan; the sound
is better than average.
A Pastoral Work
Greater contrast to the
above than Bellini's gentle
La Sonnambula" would be
hard to find. La Sonnam-
bula" is neither comedy nor
tragedy, but a work in pas
toral mood with a succession
of pretty arias, choral inter-
ludes and happy ending. All
of which may sound pretty
tame, but as done in a Cetra
recording it makes delightful
listening. Lima Pagliughi as
the Sleep walking Amina sings
with ease and style a role
once favored by such greats
as Patti and Lind. Cesare
Slept Chere last week with the
Metz applies his smooth basso
to the part of Rodolfo, and
Ferruccio Tagliavini holds
forth confidently as Amina's
f1ance, Elvino. Maestro Ca
puano again is at the helm,
and the recording is accom-
plished without major fault.
In the realm of opera buffa,
Wolf = Ferrari's Il Quattro
Rusteghi" (Which translates
into something like 1.-THE Four
Boors") is neither particularly
