ADILA FACHIRI ' JELLY d'ARANYI With Orchestra conducted by Stanley Chapple Concerto in D minor. For Two Violins DacAt 1st Movt.: Vivace . ; A-0252 12 5/6 2nd Movt.: Largo, ma non tanto, Part I

A MONG the choicest musical memories of those whose recollections go back far enough are the performances of Bach's Double Concerto which used to be given every year by Dr. Joachim and Lady Halle at the far-famed "Pops." It is the highest tribute which could be paid to the magnificent record which has bcen made of this work by Miss jelly d'Aranyi and Mme Adila Fachiri-grand-nieces, it will be remembered, of Dr. Joachim-that it recalls so vividly those same performances, particularly the "bowing" which is similar to that used by the great Joachim himself. The Double Concerto itself stands alone among compositions of its type, the exquisite slow movement es- pecially, based on a melody of serenest beauty, being one of the loveliest things in all music ; and we count ourselves fortunate therefore in being able to offer an interpretation of this immortal work of such superlative quality.

YORK BOWEN (Pianoforte) Prelude in G Op. 23 Rachmaninoff I minor, . . Second Arabesque in G Debussy ) K-05214 12" 4,16

R ACHMANINOFF'S G minor Prelude stands second only in popularity and in the esteem of connoisseurs to the world-famous example in C sharp minor from the same hand, and of this most attractive work Mr. York Bowen has supplied a characteristically brilliant and finished reading. Totally different in character but none the less engaging is the accompanying example of Debussy-a work presenting the great French master in an exceptionally melodious and light-hearted mood-and this also Mr. Bowen's nimble fingers have touched oä' in delicious style.

HOWARD BLISS ('Cello) Dolly Berceuse, Op. 56, No. I Faure ` X-9711 10" 31- Menuet Rameau, Salmon ) . arr. Piano Accs. Stanley Chapple

TWO delightful French examples-one ancient, the other modern- here make a well-contrasted pair of'cello solos. Rameau's delicious Menuet is redolent of the ancient ri$ime in its classic grace and charm, while Faure, most refined and elegant of modern French composers, stands happily for the music of a later day. And both have been played with perfect artistry and understanding.

MODERN CHAMBER ORCHESTRA Conducted by Stanley Chapple Canto Popolare Elgar from Concert Overture "In the South," Op. 50g K-05215 12 4ý6 Two Interludes E1 ar from the Symphonic Study "Falstaff," Op. 68

IN Elgar's wonderful symphonic study "Falstaff" there are no happier pages then the two dainty Interludes depicting, first, the dream- like memory of the Fat Knight's youth when he was Page to the Duke of Norfolk and, secondly, his stay in Gloucestershire, on returning from In dainty the war, as guest of justice Shallow. their scoring and delicate grace both are typically Elgarian and, being written for a small orchestra, both lend themselves admirably to reproducing purposes, as is amply demonstrated by the present records. The charming, Canto Papolare, in turn, is another excerpt from a longer work, coming from in the splendid "In the South" overture, where it is introduced the has happiest style to suggest a popular Italian folk song ; and this too been most successfully recorded.

With the Aeolian Orchestra TO -goers of an older generation both Meyerbeer's "Robert le Diable" and Halevy's "La Juive" were names to conjure with and it was a happy thought on the part of Mr. Murray-Davey-himself associated with so many triumphs at the Paris Grand Opera-to rescue from oblivion these two fine numbers from them. Of the dramatic Invocation from the former he has furnished a typically broad and virile rendering, while, in an entirely different style, the delightful Cavatina from "La Juive" fares no less happily at his hands.

In English. With the Aeolian Or--h. P UCCINI'S "La Boheme" contains no number better known or more universally admired than the exquisite love duet from the first act of which such a notably effective interpretation (in English) has here been furnished by two of the most accomplished of our native operatic artists. Less familiar is the duet from Goring Thomas's "Nadeshda," though well worthy of being better known for its tender grace end refined unforced expressiveness.

A supreme master in the interpretation of the fascinating folk-music of his native Russia is Vladimir Rosing and in the three examples here presented his unique vocal and histrionic genius has once again found convincing expression. More need hardly be said concerning an artiste so well-known but it may be pointed out how strikingly he has adapted his methods to the special requirements of each song and also that all three are now obtainable at just one third of their original price. `71y11

IF a good deal of the late Sir Charles Stanford's music has suffered neglect this certainly does not apply to his superb " Songs of the Sea" which have enjoyed from the first unlimited popularity. And with good reason, for among all his many fine songs he never did any- thing better than these picturesque and stirring nautical ditties. Nor could one wish for a finer interpretation of them than that which Mr. Watcyn Watcyns has provided.

PHYLLIS ARCHIBALD (Contralto) Trees Oscar 7Zasbacb%'9709 . My Ships Barratt 10' 31- Piano Accs. Stanley Chapple

D ISTANCE may or may not lend enchantment to the view but so far as voice and ear are concerned in these astonishing days it may be said to make curiously little difference. Thus though Miss Phyllis Archibald is at present on the other side of the Atlantic delighting American audiences she can still be heard here also through the medium of her 'Vocalion' records, which continue to deputize for her with never-failing efficiency! Of the two numbers above named "Trees" is an American song of the better type which shows off Miss Archibald's fine contralto voice to the best advantage.

THE titles of these two songs suggest sentiments Poles asunder. Yet in fact they have much in common in this respect, as also in their entirely straightforward and unpretending musical character, less whereby however they will commend themselves none the surely to unlearned hearers-especially when rendered through the medium has his of those glorious bass tones which Mr. McEachern at command. VICTOR CARNE (Tenor) Drink to thine me only with eyes arr. X-9710 10" 31- For ever and ever Tosil Piano Accs. Stanley Chapple

M R. VICTOR CARNE who here makes his debut as a 'Vocalion artiste is the happy possessor of a charming light tenor voice, of the true lyric type, which should carry him a long way, especially as he knows how to use it so effectually. In proof whereof one need go no farther than the charming rendering which he has furnished of the two well-known and ever-popular songs which constitute his initial contribution to our lists. 'Vocalionists' will certainly extend a hearty welcome to such an eminently acceptable recruit.

George Skort M USICIANS will ever be indebted to Mrs. Kennedy-Fraser for her efforts in retrieving from Time's devouring maw the "Songs of the Hebrides" which have long since taken their place among the finest things of their kind brought to light during recent years. A typical example. full of colour and romantic feeling, is " The Road to the Isles," which has found such a sympathetic interpreter in Mr. John Mathewson, himself a loyal Scot and able therefore, as one "to the manner born," to do full justice to such things.

BAND OF H.M. LIFE GUARDS Under the direction of Lieut. H. Eldridge Prince Igor `J3orodin Ballet Music. Parts I & 2 K-05210 12 4 6 IN the famous Polovtsienne Dances constituting the ballet music of Borodin's "Prince Igor"-so often heard in during recent years in connection with the performances of the Russian Ballet- Lieutenant Eldridge and the Life Guards Band have once again found splendid opportunities for the display of their unrivalled powers. Nor have they failed to turn those opportunities to the best possible account. One is tempted to say indeed that even they have never made a finer record. Certainly it is hard to believe that Borodin's fierce barbaric strains can ever have been more brilliantly interpreted. LIGHT INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCAL

IT is not the least of the factors going to account for the extraordinary popularity of the records for which Signor Moschetto is responsible that he invariably exercises such happy judgment in his choice of items. Those here announced afford yet another instance, both being melodious and attractive in the extreme. That they have also been most artistically played hardly needs adding when a Moschetto record is in question.

Among the fox-trots Don Parker, of the Piccadilly Hotel, makes a tremendous hit with several of the very latest things in this line, including "Whose who are You?" and "Ida-I do"-in which connection many people will doubtless remember having enjoyed dancing to this band in their own homes on the evening of Christmas Day, when their performances were broadcast from the Piccadilly Hotel. As to the American numbers these are racy and effective as ever. Alphabetical List of Titles
