ach's Concertino for piano,
strings and cymbals on the
same record, a tuneful piece
with a Spanish flavor in
which the cymbal clashes
make a somewhat startling
but not unlikable contribu-
ton to the general liveliness.
Surinach is his own con-
ductor, and William Masselos
presides efficiently at the
keyboard.
All the music on these two
discs was commissioned by
MGM, a striking example of
enterprise in a field sorely
in need Of more of it.
"Etruscan" Concerto
MGM offers another rather
slight but agreeable Clan
ille-Hicks piece, the "Etru-
scan" concerto. and a novel
work for trumpet. two horns
and strings by a Danish COM
poser, Vagn Holmboe, on still
another record.
On Westminster, one can
hear two concertos by the
contemporary French COM
poser. Andre Jolivet, one for
the odd electronic keyboard
instrument known as the
Ondes Martenot, and the
other for the more ingra-
tiating ito mel albeit less UNI
conventional harp. The lat
ter piece has not inconsider-
able charm, but the former
seems to me chiefly noisy.
On Columbia can be heard
a substantial piano concerto
completed in 1853 under a
grant from the Koussevitzky
Foundation by a young CAL
ifornian, Leon Kirchner. The
music impresses by its seri-
business and avoidance Of
show. 1t seems to have con-
siderable distinction.
In more familiar territory,
Isaac Stern is responsible for
superb new performances Of
Prokoneff'S two violin con-
certos on a Columbia disc.
On Victor, there is q, feet
new rendition of the same
composers relatively neg
lected second piano con-
certo by Nicole Henriot and
the Boston Symphony. An
other Boston Symphony disc
offers Leopold Hogan. the
Soviet violinist, in the Kha-
chaturian concerto, q rather
empty affair no matter who
plays 1t.
Angels newest modern
concerto offering is a strik-
ing coupling Of Ravel's G
major and Rachmaninoff's
fourth by q virtuoso Italian
pianist. Arturo Benedict
Michelangeli.

Star Record Critic
The concerto has come a
long way. With Mozart it
was one of the most readily
Observation-Disclosures by no
means superficial - Of mu-
steal forms. That is hardly
true nowadays.
Take Arnold Schoenberg's
violin and piano concertos,
for example. They are two
of the craggiest pieces one
could find, rugged going even
for professionals. at first
hearing. And the performer
has it no easier. Merely to
get through the solo part in
the violin concerto. in par
ticular, is an achievement.
1t is small wonder it is rarely
played.
A new Vox record offers
both concertos. performed in
one case by Alfred Brendel.

pianist in his early 20s. and
in the other by Wolfgang
Marschner, another relative
newcomer. who had the dis
tinction Of introducing the
Schoenberg concerto to Aus
tria. The Southwest Ger
man Radio Symphony Is the
orchestra.
The performances seem
competent, and they are well
recorded. Hearing them
through a few times sug-
gests that the main problem
with the Schoenberg music
is that it gets too few per-
formances. AS with so much
modern music, it makes in
creasing sense as 1t becomes
familiar.
Other Modern ConcertOs
A number of other mod

sky's 1924 concerto for piano
and winds is one. It is on a
Decca disc performed by
Carl Seemann and the Berlin
Philharmonic. under Thomas
Scherman. Stravinsky's mas
terry Of wind instruments is
well known, and there is
hardly any reason for dis
counting his treatment OF
the keyboard. The work is
highly stimulating. and it
has a slow movement that
is surprisingly poetic. Bar
tok's fine sonata for two pi-
amos and percussion is the
companion piece on this ably
recorded disc.

Washington's opera season

with Richard Strauss "Sa-
I. lone" in a concert version
with a fine cast headed by
( Inge Borkh and Jane Hob
\ son. Howard Mitchell re-
B marked a few weeks ago that
\ he would have liked to pre-
sent the work in English. but
that the cast knew it only
in the operas original Ger
man. Nobody is absolutely
certain what language the
original story of Salome was
in maybe Aramaic. soon
translated into Greek. Latin
followed. and then almost
every language you can
Sname. even Basic English.
& 1t is from Oscar Wilde's
adaptation of the Biblical
story that Strauss took his
Atext. Wilde wrote his play in
I English, but published it in
French. a tongue that at
times is something more than
the language of diplomacy.
The composer was enrap-
tured by the voice and beauty
sof Geraldine Farrar when
the young American soprano
took all Europe by storm in
the early years of this CEN
fury. Although the premiere
of Salome had been sung
by another artist, Strauss
strongly urged Farrar to APP
pear in the role. suggesting
that he would change a few
passages that lay badly for
her voice. Farrar refused, re-
plying that later in life she
twould be delighted to work
with the master but that a
syoung artist should not risk
establishing a reputation on
merits other than her voice.
