tiens will be hung on the walls OF
the mammoth drill hall. Accord
ing to Show Manager Joe

New Recording Of Boch B Minor Mass
Proves Delight in Every Way

~ n
Bach'S B minor mass de-
serves the best kind Of treat
ment from the record makers,
and happily this is exactly
what it has been given by the
newest Of the major ones.

Angels new recording Of the
B minor was made in Vienna.

Music are employed. and the
soloists are Elizabeth Schwarz-
kopf. soprano: Nicolai Gedda.

bass.
The recording In every way
is a delight. Won Karajan's ap-
proach is q relaxed one; as q
consequence the performance
moves at pace permitting full
Savoring Of every detail. And
the details have all been at
tended to with meticulous care.
Nine Schwarzkopf's arias are
superb and the other vocal
soloists are all excellent.
Instrumental solos are handled
expertly. And the acoustical
arrangements are unusually
successful, with orchestra,
chorus and soloists nicely bal
anced and the whole sound
coming through with a spa
ciousness and suavity rare in
choral recordings. Close your
eyes, In fact, and you can
easily imagine you are in the
actual hall. Bach's music has
never sounded more realistic
OR enthralling-in the living
room.
There are one or two minor
mechanical flaws. The repeat
of the "Osanna" is too near
the center on the fifth side,
so that there was some distor-
ton from my pickup: since
there is plenty of extra room
on the next side. it would have
been more logical to carry the
section over. Also, in my set,
the first disc has noisy surfaces.
a decided rarity with Angel,
whose records for the most
part have been unusually quiet.
Since the volume level is not
high. it would be wise to watch
out for this.
The set is accompanied by
an excellent analysis and lib
retto.
A Boch Borgoin
Bargain-conscious Bach fans
will have already noted the re-
lease Of another performance
of the B minor by Urania.
The Urania set, on two LIPS
compared with Angels three.
and lower-priced LIPS at that,
is undeniably tempting from
a price standpoint. and the
performance-by Fritz Leh-
mann and the Radio Berlin
chorus, and orchestra-is cap
able. It is not in a class with
the Angel one, though, and
squeezing it onto four sides has
not helped the reproduction.
Bach's rather lengthy Can
tata No. 20, "Wachet, betet."
has been recorded attractively
by the Bach Guild recently,
also in Vienna. Not the least
of the attractions Is the So

has one Of the arias. Felix
