KOUSSEVITZKY AND THE MUSIC OF TODAY In his final concert of the season in Carnegie Hall, New York {Saturday, April 13), Dr. Koussevitzky included David Diamond's "Rounds for String Orchestra" and Samuel Barber's new Violoncello Concerto, with Raya Gar- bousova as soloist. The event led Olin Downes to make the following interest- ing observation in the "New York Times": "The effect of their music wac one more testimony and vindication of ihe faith that Dr. Koussevitzky has shown, since his arrival in this country twenty- two seasons ago, in the gifts of our creative musicians of the rising genera- tions. From the beginning of his con- ductorship of the Boston Symphony Or- chestra he has sought out native talent and insistently given it opportunities of a hearing and the benefit of his per- sonal aid and counsel, and to composers he has won the reward for these labors. Two concert programs which have pro- duced three scores of such merit as JO GOPELAND Aaron Copland's 'Appalachian Spring,' played Thursday night, and the Diamond This is a designer original and Barber compositions of yesterday with a smoother, longer afternoon, are among the proofs, not body, defined by draping. only of what Koussevitzky has done, Rayon alpaca, in grey or beyond any other conductor this country has ever seen, for its composers, but navy 124.00 also the way in which the composers Sizes 10 to 16 are repaying in kind their championship by Serge Koussevitzky."

The recordings in this series date from the mid-1940s through the late 1950s, and will feature several which have never before appeared on CD, as well as some that have not been available in MENOTTI any form in nearly half a century. The present recording of The Consul, which makes its CD début here, was made a month after the work’s (1911– 2007) Philadelphia première. American Decca was at the time primarily a “pop” label, the home of Bing Crosby and Judy Garland, and did not yet have much experience in the area of Classical music. Indeed, this recording seems to have been done more because of the work’s critical acclaim on the Broadway stage than as an opera, since Decca had The Consul also recorded Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman with members of the original cast around the same time.

TONIGHT’S PROGRAMME WILLIAM WALTON 1902–1983 Scapino: A Comedy Overture A virtuoso composition for a virtuoso orchestra, Scapino is a work of scintillating brilliance and brittle rhythms, commissioned to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1941. Walton first discussed the work with the orchestra’s conductor, Frederick Stock, in 1938 and his initial thoughts were for a suite in five movements. The final idea came from an etching in Jacques Callot’s Les Trois Pantalons of 1619.
