Ballet Music from "Faust," Part II Nos. 3 & 4 Goarnad

A NEW triumph in orchestral recording has been achieved by the famous Queen's Hall instrumentalists in their reproduction of the ballet music from Gounod's " Faust." The exquisite music, famous so full of that sense of youth and romance which has given the is by finish opera its world-wide popularity, played them with a perfect delicate and beauty of tone in the orchestration, as well as great charm of expression. The first number is one of those graceful and flower-like waltz tunes that Gounod knew so well how to write ; then, in contrast, the following number is more serious and sentimental in character. The third dance is a gem of sparkling melody and fascinating rhythm, the orchestra being particularly fine in this movement. Finally comes the march-like tune which ends the suite so brilliantly, else closing bars 79) of the music being most charming in effect. (Speed THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA conducted by SIR FREDERIC H.

2-0847 Country dance-" Old English Dances " 1st set Published by Novelle & Co.

AMONG our composers of to-day none has more worthily than Sir Frederic Cowen upheld the great tradition of English music- melodiousness-that gift of a lilting tune which, centuries ago, helped to give this country its immortal title of " Merrie ." This brilliant dance, a striking example of the composer's genius, is redolent of the olden-time English countryside, its principal melody so jolly and fresh and so picturesque in its instrumentation. The middle section is built on a tune of wistful, batinting beauty, with some lovely soft colouring in the orchestra. After a return of the vigorous opening theme, the dance ends with an exhilarating finale, almost breathless in its pace. The music has been superbly recorded by the Symphony , Orchestra, under the composer's own direction, every detail of the orchestration and every phrase being beautifully finished.

HE famous French basso gives us a wonderful piece of singing in this record by him of the Italian National Hymn. The T music is a real masterpiece of patriotic inspiration, with a touch of Verdi in its stately phrases. After a vivacious introduction from the orchestra, the voice is heard in a stirring melody which has a true martial ring. M. Journet sings it throughout with splendid fervour and breadth of expression, his magnificently resonant voice imparting to the music a majesty and depth of feeling such as only a great artist can impart.

A S a record of pianoforte playing this new example of Paderevski's genius stands alone. It is a unique achievement. The " Paderevski touch," which has always been so characteristic his of the great virtuoso, and helped to give him place as the greatest living pianist, is reproduced with extraordinary fidelity. Every note is is in perfectly poised and rounded off, and the whole piece remarkable its exquisite finish and the variety of tone and delicate shades of expression, the Pianissimo passages, especially, being of ethereal beauty. The music itself, so full of vitality and so characteristic of the pianist-composer's beloved Poland, is in turn gay, fantastic, tender, with a lilting rhythm and entrancing snatches of melody. It is a fascinating and poetic expression of the ancient Polish national dance that Paderevski has given us in his music, which he has recorded so INSTRUMENTAL TRIO MARK HAMBOURG and C.

T HIS magnificent trio of Tchaikovsky, in which the three instru- ments-piano, violin and '-are combined with such masterly effect, was dedicated by the composer " to the memory of a great artist," and intended as a musical tribute to his friend and teacher Nicolas Rubinstein. This act of homage inspired Tchaikovsky to produce a work remarkable both for its beauty and its technical brilliance. The lovely theme and variations (recorded in two parts, of which this present record is the second) form the second movement of the Trio. The exquisite melody upon which the variations are founded is said to be a reminiscence of a happy day spent by the composer with his friend. The fine variations heard in this concluding record take us far away from the original melody, but the latter is always faintly recognisable, and towards the end it reappears with beautiful effect, fragments of it being heard in turn on each instrument.(Speed 79)

The THEpoetic sentiment of " My ships" is faithfully reflected in the melodious and expressive phrases to which the composer has set the words, the stately and dignified ending of the song being particularly expressive, especially as sung by Mme. Lunn, whose superb voice is heard with great effect in the music. Two records by the well-known tenor Mr. Ernest Pike are also rnust attractive, Liza Lehmann's exquisite " If I build a world for you," which is an old favourite, and a fine ballad by Jack Trelawny. The latter, " God keep you in His care," has the true ring of sincere sentiment, and its broad, tuneful phrases are very striking. Both songs are very artistically sung. Jliss Carmen Hill has chosen for her newest record a dainty little song, in the style of a coon-song, to which her beautiful rich voice is admirably suited. Both words and music are most graceful, especiall as this popular artist sings it all so delightfully.

A favourite ballad has been recorded for us by Miss Margaret Cooper, a versatile artist who is equally charming in a " straight" song or a light comedy number. In Eric Coates' pretty " The green hills o' Somerset" her vocal powers are unusually displayed, as well as her powers of expression. The record owes much, too, to her own very sympathetic accompaniment at the piano. Some light music of a very graceful and melodious character is provided by Miss Vera Desmond in her latest records. The soprano's brilliant-toned and flexible voice is unusually effective in Nicholl's " A night of Romance" and Romberg's 11 The ragtime pipes of Pan," the latter an amusing picture of the god of nature in an up-to-date version. The first-named ballad is a very tuneful waltz song. (Speeds 79)

A PHILOSOPHER once described the violin as " horsehair scraped over sheep's entrails,"a realistic but not very inspiring description of one of the most poetic and perfect musical instruments in existence. The violin stands alone among instruments because it owes less to mechanism and more to human genius than any other. For centuries the essential principles of the violin have remained almost unchanged, and it has undergone no " Improvements." A simple case of wood with its four strings of catgut, it is the same unpretentious looking affair to-day as it_ was when the wonderful old Italian craftsmen of Cremona fashioned those fiddles for which players to-day will give thousands. But this simple-looking instrument has a marvellous range of expression in the hands of anyone who understands its genius. It has often been compared to the human voice, and in=its extraordinary subtlety of tone, and command of every nuance, the comparison is justified. From the deep, rich singing quality of the lower G string to the ethereal notes of the high E string, its range is extraordinary, and those four strings are capable of wonders under the fingers of a fine player. There is almost no limit to the technical brilliance that a great virtuoso can display on the instrument since Paganini and other pioneers of modern violin virtuosity showed what was possible in the way of effect. But there is no instrument which so depends upon the abilities of the performer as the violin. There are no " ready-made " notes (as in the case of the piano) ; everything must be created from those four strings-all the elaborate runs, shakes, chords, harmonics, and other devices which make the technique of the violin. And there is an infinitely varied art in the mere drawing of the bow across the strings, since it is that which gives us the tone of the instrument, its very soul. In the hands of a poor player 'the violin is execrable ; handled by a great artist it can take us into the highest regions of musical beauty. No wonder that the very finest composers, from Bach to Elgar, have entrusted some of their choicest inspirations to the voice of the violin.

MMR. JAY LAURIER'S two records are of the merriest kind. In " Hush-a-bye" he is heard endeavouring to sing a song which has to be turned into a lullaby in order to soothe an infant which has been inopportunely brought to the performance. His delightful patter in the " Stage-door scene " is a hearty laugh from beginning to end, especially his clever skits on " animal " turns in music-hall programmes. The popular comedian has never recorded anything funnier. In "Women's way" Tom Clare has recorded another of those clever little "songs at the piano" in which he is so inimitable. His amusing reflections on " the eternal feminine " will appeal to everyone, even the ladies themselves, for the final laugh, in the song, is against the men.

F ROM Mr. Herman Finck's accomplished pen, with its gilt of dainty melody and picturesque orchestration, we have one of the best ballet suites of recent seasons, a masterpiece in its own ;enre. Mr. Finck has a rare knowledge of the dance, and he has given us some very exquisite examples of his genius in these four numbers recorded so finely, under his own direction. The first dance, " Little Tailors," has a sparkling melody on the wood- wind and strings, while a very quaint trombone solo is another feature. The is ending very clever and effective. In the second number we have a waltz of much charm, a lilting tune ingeniously instrumentated. The feature of No. 3 is a beautiful clarinet solo of dreamy character, with a soft accompaniment, whiie later on the music broadens out with rich effect. Dance No. 4 takes us from fairyland to storyland, to hear a jolly old English tune, .most vivacious and exhilarating. The whole suite is most fascinating. No music-lover should miss the Coldstream Guards' 10 Reminiscences of Sullivan," wherein are enshrined many of the melodic gems from " Patience," "Pinafore," and other operas of the immortal series. The records are made with the usual brilliance of the famous hand. Records of OPERA IN ENGLISH recently issued
