BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Record Critic

One of the essentials for
an exciting musical perform
ance is enthusiasm on the
performers part. On records,
as in the concert hall, it is
not always present. But sew
eral new piano discs seem to
fit the specification impress
sively.
One of the records is new
only to present-day buyers.
The II pieces were cele-
brated items a generation
ago. The performer is the
late Sergei Rachmaninoff,
universally regarded as one
of the all-time giants at the
keyboard.
When the earliest item,
Daquin's 1.-THE Cuckoo" was
recorded in 1920 the pianist
was AZ and by the latest,
made in 1912, he was almost
20, but there is never a hint
of tagging physical or spil
itual vitality. Rachmaninof
must have tossed off all these
miniatures hundreds of times,
but the playing consistently
sparkles.
Equally impressive is the
display of control. Each piece
is shaped within the apple
pirate frame. Rachmarinoff,
also a giant physically, did
not let himself get carried
away to the point of pound
ing.
The record is the second in
a Camden reissue series hon.
oring this unforgettable art
list. There should be i'm
patience for the third. (CAL
