TOPS IN POPS
BY BOB WILLIAMS


During the last two years the
late Glenn Miller's band has
turned into a post mortem gold
mine for RCA-Victor Records.
Original Miller sides sold rap
idly, via numerous album re-
leases, and the two de luxe $25
limited edition sets hit the
jackpot.
It has now been disclosed
that all the material was not
exhausted in the two de luxe
sets, for new tapes of Miller
broadcaSts were recently un-
covered, and these will provide
new material for more albums.
The first $25 limited edition
sold about 100000 copies, and
the second set last fall re-
portedly exceeded this total.
Since the Miller boom began,
the Miller estate has received
around half q million dollars
in royalties from RCA-Victor,
and it looks as if there's more
to come.

TURNTABLE TALK
By JAMES G. DEANE .

Mailer and Bruckner have
long been whipping boys in
the musical world. probably
both with and without good
reason. Neither has had what
you would call a fair chance
with the public. however. for
their music is too seldom per-
formed. This is certainly the
case, at least, in this country.
Some of their creations
should occasion no controversy.
For example, Columbia has
lust put out an LIP record pair
ing Bruckner's TIE Denm ana
the Mahler ''Kindertotenlie-
der" both under the baton OF
Bruno Walter. The TIE Deum
is a fine, energetic choral piece
with soloists there Frances
Yeend, Martha Upton, DAVID
LLOYD and Mack HarrelD. su-
perbly performed in this re-
cording. The Westminster
choir collaborates with the
New York Philharmonic. The
"Kindertotenlieder" perfor-
nance is the one featuring the
late contralto Kathleen Fer
rier and the Vienna Philhar-
monic, previously issued sep
arately and much admired tas
far as the vocalism is con-
cerned) by DR.. Walter him
self. There is no surer hand
around on these scores than
Bruno Walters, which ought
to be recommendation enough.
MahIer's Eighth Symphony
A much different Mahler cre-
alton, the tremendous eighth
symphony, has been issued oy

last years Holland Festival by
the Rotterdam Philharmonic
under Eduard Flipse. This

of a Thousand" because OF the
size of the forces it utilizes.
takes almost an hour and 2
half to play.
Like Mahler's other big
choral symphony, the So
called Resurrection" played
recently by the National SYM
phony, this one has q religious
orientation.
It's first part is set to medi-
eval Latin hymn. The remain
der is q setting Of the last
scene of Goethe's Faust. peo-
pied by choirs of angels. peni-
tents and other mystical
beings.
One might have expected
Mahler to have been carried
away in the process Of devel-
oping this situation, but he
exercised a surprising amount
of restraint. A good deal OF
the second portion is allotted
to soloists (although Epic
doesn't bother to tell us who
they are), and the music is
often more suggestive of NAH
Ter the song-writer than NAH
Ter the symphonist. The jacket
annotator thinks this is NAH
ler's greatest work. It certainly
is an impressive one.
This performance is a good
one, and it is splendidly re-
corded. The only previous LIP
issue, another festival perform
ance led by Hermann Scher-
chen, was shrill.
Major Efforts by Bruckner
Bruckner's third symphony
and E minor mass have also
arrived lately. The symphony,

Bruckner's Te.Deum
Is Sung Superbly

suggestive in some places Of
Beethoven or Schubert, has
that certain ascetic or dry
quality of so much of Bruck-
ner's music. but it. also has
many pages of genuine inter-
est and appeal. On a London
LIP, Hans Knappertsbusch and
the Vienna Philharmonic give
a first-rate performance. SPA
has issued another perform
ance under F. Charles Adler
which is adequate but could
have used more rehearsal.
The E minor mass, quite a
different sort of piece, is rooted
in l6th-century polyphony. It
utilizeS a chorus without solo,
lists and with a modest wind
band for accompaniment. It is
rather on the austere side but
is a fine piece of its kind, and
the recording by Hamburg per-
formers on Telefunken seems
to be a capable one.
Mahler's youthful cycle,
"Lieder zines fahrenden Gesel-
len" (Songs of a Wayfarer),
has been attractively recorded
for Vox by a young American
bass, Norman Foster. A per-
suasive account is given by
Foster Of the "Kindertoten-
lieder" on the same disc, but
without the rare poignancy of
the Ferrier rendition.

There has been considerable
comment recently about the
desirability Of the Government
representing American culture
in foreign countries. More
over, there are at present
several bills before Congress
contemplating the subsidiza-

expressed doubt as to the
genuine interest of the highest
ofncials Of our Government in
the arts here at home, and in
their capability of handling a
job new to our Government
effectively.
They should be treasured
