than Antonio Salieri. who
used to be credited CD with
poisoning Mozart. (Mozartians

believe their idol could have

COMPRESSION

There ought to be no NAH
lerite around who hasn't "Des
Knaben Wunderhorn," the
song cycle which caused such
a sensation when it became a
recording several years ago and
which is otherwise virtually
not to be heard.
Vanguard has now COM
pressed the Is songs, which
formerly occupied two discs,
onto a single one. which should
make the project that much
more desirable.
Alfred Poell is the baritone
and Lorna Sydney the mezzo.
The Vienna State Opera Or
chestra under Felix Prohaska
completes the roster. Anyone
inclined to be complacent about
not knowing this particular
fare should hear it.
NEUE STRAUSS
There won't, suppose, ever
be a Strauss record without
something familiar in it. But
Vanguard has almost managed
such an enterprise on a new
record from Vienna. "Perpet-
uurn Mobile" starts it and the
Blue Danube" finishes it, but
l doubt if most n-Viennese
have heard anything in be-
tween, twice if ever.
One reason is that 10 of the
items are polkas, the other two
a scherzo and a galop. People
talk about Strauss waltzes, but
seldom Strauss galops. Even
! the "Pizzicato Polka" on the
record isn't the familiar one
it's "neue.'
Anton Paulik and the State
Opera Orchestra, past masters
of this repertoire, are the re-
sponsible parties, and most eff
fective ones. My only regret
is the absence of the little
number that vowed the sedate
audience at Mr.. Ormandy's
final Philadelphia concert
the one with the blank pis-
toI shot.
