Fuss Over Strauss

Argument has been raging
in New York lately over
whether "Arabella," the opera
which Richard Strauss finished
in 1882 and which the Met has
been doing this season. is or is
not worthy of the creator of
"Rosenkavalier" and "Salome.
Rudolf Bing, who spoke
highly of "Arabella" here the
other day, could have per-
formed a useful public service
by giving us a chance to judge
for ourselves this month when
his company comes to town.
Since this is not to be done,
the best available basis for
forming an opinion is a new
Angel record of excerpts from
Lie 0trauSS opus.
AS far as this hearer goes,
the impression is favorable.
There are those who consider
"Arabella" nothing more than
a watered-down "Rosenkava-
lier,' and it does not, certainly.
have the sparkle of the earlier
opera. But it is by no means
a drab score as some insist.

forts with a records worth of
excerpts that one regrets the

Criterio Totally Lacking
To Define Good Music

but all the way. like a REFER of
marijuana.
What many Of us lack is not
music appreciation, but the
knack Of listening or even the
desire to listen intently and
critically to music. It is not
surprising that the older mu-
sic that has become at least
slightly familiar is more access
sible to us than a newer and
more original idiom.
1t is pointless to say that
one should force himself to be
eclectic and like all styles of
music, for everyone must be
thankful for small favors
where ever he finds them and
not demand the universe. In
my own personal experience,
however, have never known a
man acutely attuned to the
music of the past who did not
also have a sense of apprecia-
ton Of the music of the pres
ent. Dislikes and prejudices
are another matter-they are
common to all who are worth
their salt. But among the mu-
sic lovers / know these dislikes
never blanket a whole era.
No Criterion for Good
The question of what is good
music cannot be postponed any
longer. It is obvious that
music is not assayed like gold,
and know of no criterion by
which one can label piece of
music good" The adjective
has only a subjective meaning,
it indicates only what the user
believes. I wish that knew
another answer to the ques-
ton. more entertaining and
yet reasonable.
olyieS OF music have never
been formulated and set down
as rules until the music writ
ten in each style is a thing of
the past or at least is becom-
ing obsolescent.' The rules
governing the various species
OF strict counterpart were un-

A sensible formula for record
collecting. subject of course to
occasional exceptions. might
well be not to buy the most
familiar piece by any COM
poser-which you are apt to
hear too much anyhow.
This certainly seems like q
good rule in the case of Bizet,
an excellent recording of whose
opera. LES Pecneurs de Perles"
tThe Pearl Fishers. has ar
rived from Epic. The people
who know Les Pecheurs,"
except perhaps for the famous
duet" "Au fond du temple
saint" are probably not at all
numerous as one counts opera
lovers generally, and COM
pared to Carmen" lovers they
are nothing. But Carmen" is
entirely too popular either for
its merits Or its own good, and
Lies Pecheurs" is much better
than its status of relative ne
glect' would suggest.
Indeed. the opera to me Is
quite a gem. Bizet wrote it
In l862-63, finishing it when
he was only "a. 1t was his
first full-scale opera, and nat
urally one would not expect
it to show the same assurance
and independence as Car
men," Also. it has nothing like
the latter's turbulent. earthly
plot.
What plot there is, however
"a variation Of the eternal,
inevitable triangle-is enough
to support some lovely, even
passionate music. as exotically
hued as an Oriental setting
tCeylonl could require. Some

unforgettable.
Epic's recording is well cast,
having in Pierrette Alarie a
charmingly ,fresh-voiced color
atura. Leopold Simoneau as
Nadir, Rene Bianco as Zurga,
and Xavier Depraz as Noura-
bad are the other principals;
Jean Fournet the conductor.
Voices and orchestra are we'll
balanced. and the sound is of
a high standard. This is Epic's
first operate venture, and it
is gratifying to have it such an
enterprising and well-executed
one.

Several years ago singer
composer Johnny Bond re-
corded his own Cherokee
Waltz for Columbia; however,
it never created much atten-
ton.
A few years ago the Euro
pean rights to the song were
acquired from Johnny by a
Swedish firm, but even the
Europeans didn't seem to care
for the tune. The Swedish
firm asked Johnny to write
new lyrics, which he did, and
five months ago the song was
placed with a German firm.
1t was Immediately recorded
in Germany by the Hula
Hawaiian Quartet on the
Deutsche Grammophon label,
and as Jim. Johnny, and

Germany's biggest hit since

Due Proise to Mozort
In all the wealth Of long

concertos have yet to be ac-

merit. Mozart created more
masterpieces in this form than
any other composer in history,
yet to the average music lover
the majority are probably
quite unknown.
With the Mozart bicenten-
nial coming next year this
strange state of affairs doubt
less will be corrected. There
are already hopeful signs.

service in this sphere in years
past, has issued a new record
