By BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

Charles r. Chickering, dean
Of American stamp designers,
will be honored at a dinner
meeting of the Washington
Philatelic Society on Wednes-

Mr.. Chickering, who is 10,
has been designing stamps
and preparing models from
the designs Of others since
he came to the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing in
1947 after a long career in
magazine illustration and
commercial art.
His first stamps were the
Doctors and Utah Centennial
issues of 1947, his most re-
cent the Fort Sumter, IL
cent Statue of Liberty, Nor
ris, Remington and Basket
ball stamps of this year.
His favorite design is the
1858 commemorative for the
Booth anniversary Of the City
of New York. Most stamps
represent a patchwork of
ideas and design elements
from many sources. This one
is pure Chickering.
Examples of Mr.. CHECKER
ing's stamp art work will be
presented at the WPS dinner
by Stanley Hodziewich. cura-

with all the warmth, passion
and full-bodied flavor any,
one could offer. Her COL
leagues are the Bamberg
Symphony, Jonel Perlea con-
Quoting. Her playing is rich
and sonorous, embodying all
the tonal tints this great lady
possesses in abundance.
And so on to Novaes and
her recognized forte, Chopin,
in his Concerto No. / in E
minor. Again her associates
are Perlea and the Bamberg
and again the label is Vox.
Rest assured Noveas is
completely in control. This is
the Brazilian in her best
Chopin tradition, plus tn e
good new Stereo sound. And
again Perlea and the orches-
ira deserve calls of encore.
Janis RachmaninOff
While shopping for piano
concertos, don't overlook this
one: Byron Janis playing
Rachmaninoff's Concerto
No. 3 with Antal Dorati and
the London Symphony on a
Mercury record.
This has to be one of the
best ever. If you don't know
Janis, meet him here. A little
more of this and he will be
this reviewers top favorite.
Such exquisite playing! Is
there anyone today who can
turn a phrase more neatly?
The way he plays this will
make you wonder why Rach-
maninoff's Second is more
popular. Brilliant help from
Dorati and the orchestra.
Don't miss it.
And Here's Browning
So where does it all end?
There's always another fine
young artist to hear. and this
time it is John Browning, still
in his 20s and undoubtedly
one Of the greatest of the
new crop.
You will be happy with his
Capitol Record Of the Proko-
fiev Concerto No. 3 in C and
Ravel's Concerto in D for the
Left Hand. This lad strikes
sparks. too, in brilliant per-
formanceS. What makes it
outstanding is the corpora
ton Of the Philharmonic Or
chestra under the knowledge
able direction Of Erich LENS
dorf.
One more young man who
has made it big - Glenn
Gould-is heard in Beetho-
ven's Concerto No. 4 in G
major on a Columbia record
with Leonard Bernstein and
the New York Philharmonic.
Everyone says Gould does
things in strong willed way
that is different from most
interpretations. But isn't
that also true of many an
other notable pianist? One
thing sure about Gould: He'll
never be accused of paleneSs.
His piano is one of the ripest
of all, with chromantisism
galore. If this is how you
like your piano, Gould will
please. He is always inter-
esting with the touches only
Gould can supply.

Plethora of Pionists-
And Berlin Orchestra
BY HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic

Almost everyone loves a
piano concerto, especially
when the composers are Bee
thoven, Chopin, Rachman-
inoff and List, and the solo,
lists are Fleisher, Novaes,
Janis, Gould and CherkaSSky.
Cherkassky, who's hep
Well, we hardly know our
selves, but this lis a sneaky
way of re-introducing you to
Herbert van Karajan and the
Berlin Philharmonic Orches-
ira, reminding you of their
return engagements to Con-
stitution Hall the night of
october 80 and again Sum-
day, November 10.
Since last here five years
ago, the orchestra has gone
far toward re-eStablishing
pre-war and Furtwangler en-
inence. Won Karajan, at the
peak of world conducting
fame, has added 10 new first
desk players.

BeethOven's Fifth
On to our pianists of the

ty of stylizationS of equal
satisfaction.
Take Leon Fleisher's way.
Refinement and good taste
is an apt description of this
fine young artists method
with the Cleveland Orches-
ira and George Sell on an
Epic record. Since the orches-
ira is equally light and airy
in its approach, this makes
for joyful union.
Refinement is not to be in
terpreted as dizziness. Within
the dynamic range he selects,
Fleisher strikes flashing
sparks Of color and his phraS-
ing is simply elegant.
