These rehearsals will not only afford an op- portunity to witness the great Orchestra and its conductor, Charles Munch, at work, but will provide an Opportunity to hear famous soloists rehearsing with the Orchestra if, as is probable, they appear on these particular dates. These include Monique de la Bruchollerie, the Belgian pianist about to make her first visit to America; William Prim- rose, the viola virtuoso; and the solo singers in Berlioz' "The Damnation of Faust," which will have its final prep- aration with chorus at the last open rehearsal. The open rehearsals will be- gin on Thursday, November 29 under the direction of Pierre Monteux, and will also be given on Thursday, De- cember 13. Wednesday, January 9, and Thursdays, February 28 and March 27, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the series having been distributed through the colleges, seats remaining are now on sale at the box office at $7.50 for the series of five, or $2.00 for each rehearsal. EXHIBITION An exhibition by the Boston Print- makers is now on view in the Gallery. The organization is thus described by its President, Paul B. Swensen: 5\ "The Boston Printmakers was /o> founded in 1947 by a group of New England workers in the Graphic Arts, who felt the need for a society which 416 Boy1st on St., Boston could organize print shows in Boston 54 Central St., Wellesley and New England, provide a meeting [247] place for lectures, discussions and ex- change of ideas, offer studio space where members could experiment in various media, and stimulate public in- terest in prints. "Encouraged by the sponsorship of museum directors, collectors of prints, and associate members, its membership has broadened to include printmakers from many parts of the United States as well as Canada and England. The organization erects no barriers between the so-called modern and conservative approaches toward art, requiring only that prints possess quality and vitality which result from competent design and execution by sincere artists. "Print exhibitions have been held annually at Paine Furniture Company and recently in the gallery of Symphony Hall. Travelling shows have been hung at the Worcester Museum, the Spring- field Museum, the Bangor Public Li- brary, the Marblehead Arts Associa- tion, the DeCordova and Dana Museum of Lincoln, and many museums and libraries in Canada. "Supplementing the artist member- ship of the society are the associate members who are desirous of helping the cause. They are invited to meetings and lectures, and receive, once a year, a commissioned print which is distributed exclusively to Associate members. "The printmaker has ever been a vital part of his environment. He has recorded the past and influenced it. Today's printmaker must identify him- NATURAL self with the present. The Boston Print- makers hope to keep their organization strong and vigorous enough to make WILD MINK that possible."

(total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.
