Carissima Elgar IKISCH and Landon Ronald have shown their delight in the artistic perfection of " His Master'sN Voice " Gramophone by conducting great orchestras in our recording laboratories. Now we add the name of Elgar-a name synonymous in English minds with all that is best in modern composing and conducting. And it is both as conductor and composer that we present this dis- tinguished artist in this notable new record. All England has been talking about his newest work, " Carissima. " As befits its title, " Dearest One," this charming composition breathes throughout the spirit of true love which, for once, runs smoothly. The rich sonorous melodies have a measured flow which captivates the ear from the opening bar. Fascinating is the phrase, constantly recurrin g-ýý Cantadil=ý- I i-ýI ý- a-- - fir -i 0 Impressive harmonies lead up to a happy passage triumphantly rendered by the full strength of the orchestra. Throughout we feel the master-hand controlling the performance-not a phrase, not a note but is played exactly as its author conceived it. The tone and general ensemble of this delightful record are remarkable even in these days of perfect orchestral records such as have made music-lovers take " His Master's Voice " Gramophone so closely to their hearts. Sir Edward Elgar photographed in the Recording Room while conducting " Carissima" A record worthy of the international, reputation of Sir Edward Elgar-a record that will appeal to every lover of music. (Speed 78) Published by Messrs. Elkin & Co., Ltd BERLIN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA (conducted by Dr. ALFRED HERTZ) 12-inch Records, 5s. 6d. 040776 Parsifal-Charfreitagszauber (Good Friday Music) Part I. Wagner 040777 Parsifal-Charfreitagszauber (Good Friday Music) Part II. Wagner HE Third Act of Parsifal, which comprises some of the most beautiful pages of the Music Drama, T has for setting "a Spring landscape in the grounds of Monsalvat-at the back, a small hermit- age." Parsifal, bearing the Sacred Spear he has valiantly recovered, is wearily returning towards the Abode of the Grail. Gurnemanz, the aged Knight of the Grail, who has betaken himself to a lonely forest hut in his distress at the plight of the Holy Order, has just come upon Kundry lying in a thicket. He revives the unfortunate maid. The approaching Parsifal is seen by Gurnemanz, who at first does not know him. Eventually, realising that here is the Fool who has redeemed the Sins of the Brotherhood by regaining the stolen Spear, he is overcome with emotion. Seeing Kundry humbly bringing water to remove the stains of his journey from Parsifal, he declares that only water from the Holy Spring must be used to prepare the hero for his entry to the Hall of the Grail. The first record opens with the Parsifal Motive. During the following bars, Gurne- him manz anoints: Parsifal and greets as Original Programme of Parsifal (Bayreuth, 1882) King of the Order. Passages of solemn beauty from the or- chestra accompany these tense moments. The Motive of Promise is heard : ascending passages depict the apostrophe of the aged Knight as he ad- dresses Parsifal. The Grail Motive is given out with the full strength of the orchestra. Now we catch the Motive of Straying as Parsifal, unob- served, bends over Kundry and sprinkles water from the spring upon her. During this baptismal ceremony, the soulful Faith Theme falls exquisitely on the ear. The ravishing Flowery Meadow Theme succeeds- Parsifal soliloquising the while : plaintive melodies for the oboe leap out, to die away pianissimo. The second record goes over some little of the ground covered by the first, so that it may be the more coherent when dissociated from Part 1. Gurnemanz breaks in with his ecstatic-" That is Good Friday's spell, Lord ! " The leading theme of the Good Friday Music swells forth majestically, the orchestra sighing, as it passion, grief. No more eloquent playing could be conceived. Soon the violins are in the ascendent, the tone-colour being most rich. Dr. Hertz is drawing the soul from his players. Not a bar of the music fails to reveal its From Wagner's Original MS. full beauty ; most impressive is the conclusion, bringing as it does, a delicate rendition of the Atonement Melody. These two records of the Good Friday Music, together with the three numbers covering the Transformation Music and the three that embody the Prelude, make up a highly satisfying reproduc- tion of the essential music to Parsifal. The vocal records of Knupfer and Jadlowker are welcome additions to the collection.

Its simple strains, so plaintive, so appealing, so characteristic of the ultra-English art of the composer of " Maritana," are given out with extraordinary effect by McCormack, whose purity of tone and dignity of delivery are marked features of a superb performance. The flexibility of the great Irish tenor's voice is always a delightful feature of his ballad-singing, and the present record is a fine example of the artist's singing (Speed of the simple type of ditty. 78) There is a flower that 6loometh, It wafteth perfume o'er us When autumn leaves are shed ; Which few can e'er forget, With the silent moon it weepeth, Of the bright scenes gone before us The spring and summer fled ; Of sweet though sad regret; The early frost of winter, Let no heart brave its power Scarce its brow bath overcast, By guilty thoughts o ercast, Oh I pluck it ere it wither For then a poisoned flower 'Tis the of the past.

The characteristic phrasing, sure intonation and roundness of tone of Mr. Ben Davies are faithfully reproduced in Maude Valerie White's fragrant song. A performance of real distinction.

And all the world now knows that the artistic collab- oration of Alma Gluck and the great violinist, Efrem Zimbalist, which has gone on now for quite a long time, has had a romantic denouement in the announcement of their betrothal. The two young artists have made so many concert appearances together in the United States that the news is not altogether unexpected. Cases of great artists marrying one another are not common : de Gogorza married Eames, Clara Butt became the wife of Kennerley Rumford ; but the instances are few. The Gluck-Zimbalist engagement will focus special attention on the records these artists have given us in combination. They are exquisite renditions. The new record of Gluck is a ravishing performance. The delicious upper register of this great soprano was never reproduced more admirably, and her singing throughout is gorgeous. The accompaniment is marvellously suggestive of the gurgling yet contented flow of a streamlet.

    THE GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERETTAS ON 78s: COMPLETE SETS AND ABRIDGEMENTS, 1906. 1950 John W. N. Francis In 1877 Richard D'Oyly Carte commissioned Gilbert and Sullivan to write The Sorcerer, and organized an ensemble of singer-actors to perform the new piece under the author's artistic direction. Also in 1877, of course, Charles Cros and Thomas Edison invented sound recording. More than a century later both the music and the medium continue to flourish, and indeed they have come together often and success­ fully--notably in the many complete versions by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, which have set standards of style and ensemble for generations of devotees and amateur performers. This discography documents the complete recordings of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas made at 78 rpm, not only by the D'Oyly Carte company or under its aegis, but also by others with lesser claims to authenticity. Also included are substantial abridgements and sets of excerpts--groups of five or more sides made at essentially the same time and place and with the same performers, whether or not they were ever issued collectively or with consecutive numbering. The following comments set the recordings in the context of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's history. THE ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS When Richard D'Oyly Carte died in 1901, his widow Helen assumed manage­ ment of the businesses he had built, including the Savoy Theatre in London and the opera company, which was then on tour. In 1906 she brought the troupe back to the Savoy for a repertory season of Gilbert and Sullivan, its very first.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Marston’s name is ‘synonymous with tender Richard loving care to collectors of historical CDs’. Opera News calls his work ‘revelatory’, and Fanfare deems him ‘miraculous’. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, WAGNER honouring his production and engineering work on Romophone’s complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also (1818-1892) served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mint’s Arturo Toscanini issue and BMG’s Sergey Rachmaninov recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four Tristan und Isolde decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. Opera in three acts, 1865 In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies.

NEW SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (conducted by LANDON RONALD) 12-inch Record, 5s. 6d. 0850 "William Tell" Overture-Opening nREFACING our analytical r' notes, we must observe at once that the record under review is one of the most lovely, soul-satisfying achievements on The story of Tell, the patriot who was chief instrument of the revolution which delivered the Swiss cantons from the German yoke in 1207, was taken by Rossini for the theme of one of his best-known operas, the dramatic interest b e i n g heightened by the introduction of love scenes and other episodes. The overture, played probably as often as any other single work at concerts the world over, was called by Berlioz a symphony in four parts. It is a fitting prelude to a noble work and abounds in beautiful contrasts.The opening Andante depicts the serene solitude of Nature at dawn.

This is short-lived, however, for the measured flow is resumed until the blissful termination of this andante comes along to throw the witchery of its spell over the fortunate hearer. The full beauty of the orchestra can be admired, albeit the movement almost amounts to a ravishing 'cello solo with orchestral background.
