1U * I ? ? ? - - , r SUMMER MUSI 9 RACHMANINOFF PLAYS HiS PRELUDE IN G MINOR Oilier Fa.ncu: Artists Heard in Notable Compositions one _ of ^the great'1'"S ?Wn COmp?^ ^ composer and a great virtuoso is a rare one?rare enough almost to be counted, since the days of Beethoven and ' Schubert. While listening to this on a Victor Record, one is impressed with the fact that here is another noteworthy instance of Victor tone supremacy. Rachmaninoff plays the prelude as ao one else could hope to play it? ?be conception of his own bram?-give:i >0 the world by his own fingers, knowing and feeling every -note of its intricate and splendid structure. The G Minor Prelude is in a fine, rolling, sweeping, majestic style with powerful rhythms, with clangorous, almost fierce returning melodies. Thj harmonies are :is lucidly beautiful ai anything in the works of the "Old Masters" of music. Thunderous, thrilling chords and octaves boom forth with the force of a volley of cannon on the quick, almost Bolero-like opening theme. Suddenly and unexpectedly. a soft, melodious, purling passage follows which enables the listener to 4rink in the full beauty of the pianist's light, bell-like touch. Doubtless, the most popular of all American songs ? old or new ? is Stephen Foster's "Old Folks At Home." From its very ! simplicity ? from J t^he ^ fa^ ^ts J!

Sung by Farra on a new Victor Record one hears thi beautiful, high sustained notes, ushcrei in by the full passionate sweep o violins. Tcward the end there are sonv equally beautiful soft tones. * * * Ruffo Heard in "Otello" Titta Ruffo stands in the front ran! 6f the world's great singers?a placi he has honestly won?as much by hi: consummate musicianship as by hi wonderful voice. Both are called int? play in this famous aria?"Era L; Notte" (Casio's Dream) from Verdi' "Otello," which closely follows th< Stoiy of Shakespeare's great tragedy "bis aria is quite beyond the power of the ordinary operatic singer. Th musical setting is highly interestini end Ruffo has done it full justice 01 Akis new Victor Record. Ruffo take tech sweeping phrase with magnificen power and ease. There are severa wonderful high notes at moments o iimax and the contrasts between th pare legato of some passages and th Uar, dramatic detached vigor of other re more than notable. There is n sweeter or more powerful ?voice in th .world and one hardly knows which t marvel at most?its volume or it beauty. $ De Gogorza sings, this month, beautiful love song, on a new Victo Record. It is the age-old story of th Sere of man for woman. It is a son frf late love?that mysterious an verpowerinr crisis of the soul be tUm which the first stirrings of youth M love are as the ripplings of water ia 1 brook to the giant surges of th oo?a. De Gogorza sings this son with the perfection of artistry and th depth of feeling vouchsafed only t the few. The melody is accompanie chiefly by the violin and the piam with delicate bell notes. The song end on a long sustained note that is worth of such an artist as De Gogorza. John McCormack, accompanied b Kreisler on the violin, sings "Whe Night Descends" on a Victor Recorc just issued. This beautiful song wa composed by Rachmaninoff. This lov Xn. -i.i sucuauc I? III. leva IU 1UV.V.UI llldLN voice as if it had been specially writ tes for him. It is adorned with a kbligato for the violin which make k a thing of almost superhuma baeuty and emotional power. The vie lis obbligato follows for the most pai the musical phraseology of the song' piano accompaniment. This is a wor derful song and is given with the pei feet sympathy and understanding c truly great interpretative artist: McCormack and Kreisler. q ~^icifetz plays a remarkable compos: fion?"Introduction and Tarantelle" n a Victor Record newlv announcer It seems almost incredible that otil io*r strings of the violin and on! ire fingers of the left hand form tli ?ot?6 that tumble forth with such ur faltering impetuosity. The introduc Ion itself is slow, somewhat sustained b?t the Tarantella itself is a dizzy an intoxicating whirl of notes that gather omentum as it proceeds and racc to the end with a terrific speed. Tlier fc a wonderful double pizzicato passag I which the strings are plucked b [CAL OFFERINGS ! J two alternating fingers of th? right hand. This is a spectacular, manly, \irile and altogether fascinating cam-, position. Dcstinn, this month, sinps a Bol.e..iian national sonji?"Home" (Domu) ?on a Victor Record. The song ope::? with a crashing of her mighty V0JC2. * * * Philadelphia Orchestra Plavs "Blue Danube Waltz" The "Blue Danube Waltz" ranks easily as the waltz of waltzes. Popular as other dances may he todaythere was a time, not so many year* ago, when the whole world seemed to have gone waltz mad. At the height of this tiire * t'-e beautiful "Blue Danube" was written and it too!: the world by storm. Its appeal is truly irresistible?something that never can be lost. It is doubtful if anything yet has approached, for sheer beauty and perfection, the present recording, on a new Victor r.ic-.rd, 1 y t' e Philadelphia Crrhci.tra. The Flonzaley Quartet this month ' .%s cbcr.cn a 1'ttVi msterpiccs from Tsehaikowsky's third quartet in E Flat Minor for recording on a new Victor P.ecord. T!;i?

The chief theme is viva\ cious and brilliant: the second then-.e announced by the viola?being in contrasting stvle?heavy with the desert i t languors. The joyous first theme ref turns, bringing the movement to a rippling close, in which a pizzicato note here and there touches it off as a bright gem toucl-es off the colorful I folds of some strange Oriental raiment. Those who enjoy listening to each instrument "voice" as a thing I !' apart as well as to the interwoven j; voices find this number of untold inj terest, in which the harmonics are I readily observed, ,! Mabel Garrison sinus that noble old hvmn?."Heaven Is My Home." 0? Li this new Victor Record she sings it s9? with all the inspiration she has given 1? in the past to the difficult, brilliant tjfc numbers with which her name has been associated. Her voice is of flute-like purity and her singing exhibits the ? skill and delicacy of the finished artist. Songs like this, in very truth j set loose the hidden springs of life. .

The 1 "All Star" One-Step surely deserves s the title, for it is just such a light5 headed, rattle-bang?but always surefooted one-step as the trio most de3 lights in. "Hy 'n Dri" is a cheerfully e doddering, jay-hawk sort of fox trot. 5 Another new Victor Record of equal 1 merit presents "Love Nest"?a Meds ley fox trot?and "A Young Man's J Fancy," another fox trot. Both played I by Joseph C. Smith's Orchestra. 1 ''Love Nest" is from the musical come cdy "Mary." The string tone in this i e rccord and the clean-cut rhythm are s highly pleasing. "A Young Man's ? Fancy" is one of the most entrancing e fox trots of recent months. It is 0 tnken from "What's in a Name" by miuon nger. Again we have "The Love Nest"? 3 this time sung by John Steel on a new r Victor Record. Not only is this the e hit of the musical comedy "Mary," but K undoubtedly the hit of the comic opera d season. It has a lifting, lilting, least* mite dizzy sort of tune. The refrain to the second stanza, instead of being s sung by the voice, is played as a violia e solo to a rippling harp and p?no aeS companiment. e "Blue Diamonds"?on this sam? 0 Victor Record?is sung by Henry Bute. d It has a pure, sweet clinging melody >. nnd gracious harmonies tied together s with a rocking, swaying lullaly y rhythm. "Tiddle-Dce-Wlnks"?sung by Billf y Murray?and "I love the Land of Ola n Black Joe"?sung by Billy Murray and ' Peerless Quartet?constitute a new s Victor Record of recent issue. "Tiddlec Dee-Winks" is a scream?Simon-pure s nonsense. Those who have heard "Oh, - by Jinpo will more than appreciate n this song. "I Love the Land o; Oil :s Black Joe" is a spirited ouartet num11 her of fine close harmonies. Its great >- charm lies in the rich blend of all the "t voices. s Victor Light Opera Company sintts several gems from "Apple Blossoms" and gems from "Irene"?on a ne\r 'f Victor Record just out. Those frtm "Apple Blossoms" include the chorus, "The Second Violin": Duet, "You Are i- Free"; Chorus, "W!\n the Wcddiaj ? Pir.cin: Srprsno Solo. 1- "Brothers": Barimr Soio.
