"n NEW MUSK CARUSO GIVES IMMORTAL LIFE TO DREAMS OF SPAIN Other World-Famed Artists Heard In New and Delightful Numbers URELY there / /[(whose voice anc ft/ V , methods are sc s familiar to th< ^""n^X world at large t\ A | ?yet E n r i c c _ \H3kSl*/ / Caruso weave; j such a s p e i 1 about us thai 1 nm*^! even *'1C we" known tunes oi vKilJfi 9^ 0 u r childhood take on new life J Ji \/1 i|Aj||pjn and vigor at \JJ *< *'AK,vss?23 h's fifSt note Such will be the verdict ol those who hear bim in his most recent Victor success issued with the new November offerings. it is just the type of music that shows to the best advantage the great tenor's lyric powers. "Granada!"?the very name is evocative of t'rz sr>e!! of beauty thai has fallen for cer.turie3 about that last strcnjrheld of the Moors in muny-castled Spain. As one listm1; to the dazzling rhythms, the icng-Urawn, full-throated f hrasres cr.c receiv es an impression thai is consummately beautiful and realizes that here is the purest genius. Another great artist, this time instrumental, is Sergei Rachmaninoff, who has this month offered us his own Prelude in G Major (Op. 32, No. 5). True lovers of music cannot fail to be stirred, for here the great pianist has revealed a new side, which if suspected has been perhaps obscured by the more vigorous rhythms and passions of his earlier records. This rendition begins with a clear, tender, liquid melody ; repeats with embellishments in the treble and ends in new and unexpected forms, as though spiritualized by beauties of experience. Rightly has Rachmaninoff called it a "Prelude"?for if you but listen well it leads gently to a train of thought that endures long after the last noies have faded away to nothingness. Even a rascal may surter tae panga cf memory. The truth of this is made clear in Leoncavallo's "Zaza," where, in "Zaza, Piccola Zingara," Dufresne, the weak lover, pours out his heart in a torrent of love and remorse. Renato Zanelli has attempted this difficult interpretation and the result has been triumphantly successful. His clear, full-chested baritone soars high above the accompaniment with all of the fire and glow of his maturing art. As for the music itself, it has all of the melodic quality of the older Italian operatic arias, to which has been added modern harmonics. Quite different in nature is "When "Your Ship Comes In," a charming little ballad that has been entrusted " to Orville Harrold. singer would / ^ iorejjone conclu- ^ admirers, but even ^ jy to this new record Ej&sS JJE?3i has infused some. thing of the great open spaces of the sea; something of the tossing billows and the playful trade winds. It is a son-j for a sailor ?a song of promise and of hope. There is a fine melodic interlude, too, for the united trumpets accompanied Dy lull orcnestrs. In thorough hurmony with the foregoing is another lovely ballad which gain? in effect from its very simplicity. Sophie Bra=lau he*1 rc'Jrcd her whole heart into "Ever of Thee'I'm Fondly Dreaming," and as a result we have something that takes the front rank with her more pretentious work. Here ar^slow, brooding melodies sung with a human sympathy that is far finer, far truer than is conscious art. Perhaps the moFt beautiful effects are secured when Miss Braslau's voice sinks to a soft and velvety pianissimo. * * Fritz Kreisler Touches New Heights of Art An interpretation by Kreisler is always a matter of import but doubly so is the appearance amidst the new Victor Records for November of brilliant rendition of the "Chant Intone," the gem-like composition of Risnsky-Karsakow, greatest of the Russian ni'.derns. This work takes on added i:.trrt>i when one realizes that through tl.? medium of music one is given a gumpsc or trie Indies seen through the introspective eyes of a Russian. Singular harmonies and wonderful chromatic passages flit hither and*yon, shuttle-like, and are held together by the skilled mastery of Kreisler's finders and the result is wonder at the genius that makes such beauty real. When we settle in our S?nts to listen to the melting voice of Galli-Curci, we know in advance that now will come a treat?that for a few minutes at least the world may be left behind and that our souls can delight in the splendid gift of song that is being offered. So it is when wc hear her sing "Clavelitos," a Spanish melody?coloratura, lyric and poetic to the highest degree. It is difficult to realize that human throat can enunciate such swift flying notes, yet thick and fast the great diva pours fortli a bewildering succession of magic tones that cause the heart to beat fiercely to this lovedeclaration of old Spain. "Thank God for a Garden!" This is the title of John McCormack's most recent offering, and as his masculine notes ring out the hearer can but echo "amen." Here, indeed, is a rare and beautiful song, sung with an artistic certainty and sureness that will not fail to awake latent enthusiasm in even those breasts least susceptible to music. This sonu is nature itself; na ture made superlatively real and broupht home to the consciousness of all. The world at large owes a great dfbt of thanks to John McCormack 'or tV'r ?oMl ctirrin?i record. The first cannon to be cast in on iece was made by an English iron ".aster in 1543. i : IN REVIEW | I An accompaniment of ravishing loveliness?then the clear, bird-Jike tones of Francos uic j:rcai nnisi J could make plain rlHsBflHp r its haunting mvs-_rc||| , '..am / dream one is en- * / abled to see a ' vision of those """1 [ long dead forest ?s&jiiHSHe! 1 lovers, who, these \ many years have ; slept beneath the surface of the silent : pool. One need not be a musician to | Rive oneself to the spell of this song; j it is as pure and sweet as the frosty ! air of the North woods. ? * * i New Victor Dances Are Sure Fire Hits Paul Whiteman and his Ambassador Orchestra have already worked wonders in the dance world?therefore he * is to be found on the exclusive list of Victor artists and makes his bow on November's list of new records. What | he gives us are three wonderful foxtrots and an inspiring medley onestep. "Whispering," "The Japanese Sandman" and "Avalon" are the foxtrots, and they're the kind that won't be forgotten in a hurry. "Best Ever" is the one-step and it's well named! These records will be responsible for a lot of dancing this winter?you can't heln liking them. Memory songs are certain in their r.ppeal, and Elsie Baker sines one of , the very best when she sings "The i Afterglow." It is a song in the mod, cm style with modern harmonies and emotional type, but is not one whit more appealing than is "Drowsy Boy," sung by Elsie Baker and Olive Kline. [ Here we have a lullaby?and just such a one as will delight thousands of ; American mothers. , Aileen Stanley, a new Victor artist, makes a smashing hit with two contributions: "My l.ittlc Einibo" and "The Broadway Blues." Miss Stanley comes to swell the ranks of Victor artists fresh from her success in "Silks and Satins." Her's is a remarkably strong vcicc?her enunciation is peri feet. Both s^nfs are models of just what grrd catchy songs should be, i and in bofi there is enough rhythm to make even m octogenarian prance! "Tired of Me," sung by Henry Burr , in his best r'y'e, is tie uircrance 01 a deeply wounded heart, but a heart that remains faithful, withal. It has a wallz tunc tJut cin be easily followed and more tbanjmakes rood in t the popular manner. The Peerless Quartet sines "I'd Like to Go to Sleep and Wake Up in My Mammy's 'Arms,' which is in ragtime rhythm that dies away at last with beautiful effect. * * . Gabriells. Dcconzoni Sings Gem From Trovatore Written in a minor key and dealing \ only with the tragic side of things, "Stride la vampu*' (Ficrce Flames I ere Soaring) is one of the most j frankly tur.eiul of Iir.lian operatic ' meiuuicj. In s-clceling it as her con- I tribution ?-? t'.ie n-. v/ Victor Records ! for No\emiicr Gabriella Besanzoni has | done well. It is set for the deeper register of the contralto voice, de- I sccnding to a low B, vhich the singer : i takes with splendid, thrilling power. J takes with splendid, thrilling power; I tfeS one ii.3 the impression of unity [85 and completeness. There can be f <p no doubt as to Kcsanzoni's rightful 9 place in the van-guard of high musical ? art. Ilad she not long before demon- T strated her right, this record would ! have placcd it beyond the shadow of | a doubt. m Out of the most delicately and I elusively poetic records Mischa Elman S has ever made is the Nocturne (Op. 54, No. 4) by Edward Grieg which | Mr. Elman has himself arranged for . the violin. In his interpretation the | artist lIso rises to undreamed of heights. The composition is pure fan- I tasy?strung 011 a thread of gossamer- j" like harmonics. J The famous love avowal from | "Fedora" has been rendered this montn oy tiawara jonnson?me nmur ti vieta di ron amar" that is considered iiy many as that particular opera's highest peak. As he sings one fairly feels that war cf love, hatred, passion and lust for ven^eamo that makes this song so thrillingly vital. It is permeated with masterly feeling; its very texture is somberly magnificent. Between ti.e sweeping chords of the orchestral ledy end the glittering tones of the harp, Johnson's voice treads new paths of emotion, until he has wrought an effect so sweet and strong that threats of death and calamity are but trifles in its path. In the cver-populat realm of the ballad Lambert Murphy has always an enthusiastic followinc which can and really one ; need say no more, I for this is certainly recommendation i enough. Equally delightful is "I'll Be J With Yon in Apple Blossom Time," a j fong sting as only Charles Harrison knows how to sing it. It is a friendly I and personal song, written in waltz rhythm that has a strong r.ppcal. ; Louise Terrell and William Rofoyn unite in singing "Tripoli," a sort of Moresque-Spanish melody that has an | irrcsistable charm. Mr. Robyn's pre vious success has already made him a ' host of enthusiastic friends. Miss f Terrell is a new Victor artist from J whom great things may well be c expected. Month after month the Victor ! r> i_ olufivc tfipre 5 I\ccurub art D?uuu aim ... is an advance in quality and appeal? a fact that was long since recognized by true music lovers.
