~ JAMES G. DEANE

Ang interesting parody Of
early 18th century opera by
Ferruceio Busoni, the cele-
brated arranger of Bach. has
arrived on a Victor recording
by the eGlyndebourne festival
company.
"Arlecchino" is the title Of
the work, a pint-sized affair
whose dimensions allowed 1t to
have It's premiere (191D on a
bill with Puccini's "Turandot."
"Arlecchino" is clearly a
spool, a fact amusingly
brought home by the ambi-
valence Of the lihretto writ
ten by Busoni himself) be-
tween Wagnerian German and
Dantean Italian. One GER
tainly is expected to laugh
when the tenor chokes over
the c1imactic note Of a love
song. Busoni's models them
selves, for all their conven-
tions, often made genuine fun
out of the human foibles he
focuses on, too.
There are ironic overtones,
though, which go beyond the
mere satirizing Of convention
atty. Busoni. a toweringly
successful pianist but a frus-
trated composer, apparently
gave vent to some personal
feelings In this little opera. 1t
is hard to know whether to
identify him with Matteo. the
somewhat Papageno-like tailor

ORGANISMS BACH
The organ music of Bach.
1t is reported. will be one Of
the next great areas of en-
deavor by the record-makers.
If so, 1t is high time.
HMV has enlisted Fernando
Germani. organist Of the Vati-
can, in the six sonatas which
Bach evidently intended for
either harpsichord or organ.
The two records are a model
Of neat, well proportional
playing and clean reproduc-
ton. The organ is identified as
the one at All Souls, Langham
Place, England.
The dean of performing Bach
scholars, DR.. Albert SchweitZer.
has added three new discs TO
his previous recordings for
Columbia, made in the parish
church at Gunsbach in the
Alsace. A number Of preludes
and fugues and two toccatas
and fugues in D minor are
among the pieces added. DR..
Schweitzer is not the techni-
clan to equal some less versatile
in other matters, but he plays
with great serenity and convic-
ton. Organists doubtless will
be listening to these discs for
years to come.
Some Of the grooves on the
review copies did not reproduce
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-12

cleanly, which ID columbia's
fault rather than DR.. schweit-
GERS.
e. Power Biggs has evidently
determined that there should
be no further necessity for any
one to worry about recording
the more familiar Of the two D
minor toccatas. In the course
of q European tour, he re.
corded it IA different times on
as many instruments (winding
up with the companion fugue
on the final go-through). The
chief interest attaching to the
Columbia disc. aside from the
different voicing and other
peculiarities Of the various
organs, is that Bach may have
played the toccata on several
Of them himself. On the EVIL
dence, they sound as fine today
as 200 years ago.

FOR REHEARING
A fine new set Of the six
Brandenburg concertos has
been turned out for Epic by q
Basel ensemble conducted by
Paul Sacher. Rehearing these
familiar pieces, especially one
like the first F major with its
cavorting horns, serves as q
delightful reminder that q
composer sometimes reputed
staid and dull never could have
been less so. These concertos,
as Karl Geiringer points out
in the excellent notes, are full
of surprises, but one has to
pay heed to hear them, and Q
good many people have not yet
managed to listen.
Here is a good opportunity.

FIRST RECORD
Glenn Gould, 23-year-old
Canadian pianist. who has been
winning critical accolades,
picked q challenging assign
ment for his first recording.
This was Bach's Goldberg
Variations.
Young Mr.. Gould seems to
have unusual enthusiasm along
with decidedly arresting tech
nical attainments Che can be
heard at times humming as he
plays. His Bach record Is re-
markedly stimulating. It will
be interesting to see whether
further endeavors live up to 1t.
Columbia's review copy left
something to be desired In the
reproduction, however. The
piano sometimes sounded
harsh.
