THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Carissima Elgar

N IKISCH and Landon Ronald

have shown their delight in the artistic perfection of " His

Master's Voice " Gramophone by conducting great orchestras in our recording laboratories. Now we add the name of Elgar-a name synonymous in English minds with all that is best in modern composing and conducting.

And it is both as conductor andcomposer that we present this dis- tinguished artist in this notable new record. All England has been

talking about his newest work, " Carissima. " As befits its title, " Dearest One," this charming composition breathes throughout the spirit of true love which, for once, runs smoothly. The rich sonorous melodies have a measured flow which captivates the ear from

the opening bar. Fascinating is the phrase, constantly recurrin g-ýý

Impressive harmonies lead up to a happy passage triumphantly rendered by the full strength of the orchestra. Throughout we feel the master-hand controlling the performance-not a phrase, not a note but is played exactly as its author conceived it.

The tone and general ensemble of this delightful record are remarkable even in these days of perfect orchestral records such as have made music-lovers take " His Master's Voice " Gramophone so closely to their hearts.

A record worthy of the international, reputation of Sir Edward Elgar-a record that will appeal to every lover of music. (Speed 78)

040776 Parsifal-Charfreitagszauber (Good Friday Music) Part I. Wagner

040777 Parsifal-Charfreitagszauber (Good Friday Music) Part II. Wagner

T HE Third Act of Parsifal, which comprises some

of the most beautiful pages of the Music Drama, has for setting "a Spring landscape in the

grounds of Monsalvat-at the back, a small hermit-

age." Parsifal, bearing the Sacred Spear he has

valiantly recovered, is

wearily returning towards the Abode of the Grail. Gurnemanz, the aged Knight of the Grail, who has betaken himself to a lonely forest hut in his distress at the plight of the Holy Order, has just come upon Kundry lying in a thicket. He revives the unfortunate maid.

The approaching Parsifal is seen by Gurnemanz, who at first does not know him. Eventually, realising that here is the Fool

who has redeemed the Sins of the Brotherhood by regaining the

Original Programme of Parsifal (Bayreuth, 1882)

stolen Spear, he is overcome with emotion. Seeing Kundry humbly bringing water to remove the stains of his journey from Parsifal, he declares that only water from

the Holy Spring must be used to prepare the hero for his entry to the Hall of the Grail.

The first record opens with the Parsifal Motive. During the following bars, Gurne-

manz anoints: Parsifal and greets him as

King of the Order. Passages

of solemn beauty from the or-

chestra accompany these tense

moments. The Motive of Promise is heard : ascending

passages depict the apostrophe of the aged Knight as he ad- dresses Parsifal. The Grail

Motive is given out with the full strength of the orchestra. Now we catch the Motive of Straying as Parsifal, unob-

served, bends over Kundry and

sprinkles water from the spring upon her. During this baptismal

ceremony, the soulful Faith Theme falls exquisitely on the ear. The ravishing Flowery Meadow Theme succeeds-

Parsifal soliloquising the while : plaintive melodies for the oboe leap out, to die away pianissimo.

The second record goes over some little of the ground covered by the first, so that it may be the more coherent when dissociated from Part 1. Gurnemanz breaks in with his ecstatic-" That is Good Friday's spell, Lord ! " The leading theme of the Good Friday Music swells forth majestically, the orchestra sighing, as it

passion, grief. No more eloquent

playing could be

conceived. Soon

the violins are in

the ascendent, the

tone-colour being

most rich. Dr.

Hertz is drawing

the soul from his

players. Not a bar of the music fails to reveal its full beauty ; most

impressive is the conclusion, bringing as it does, a delicate

rendition of the Atonement Melody. These two records of the Good Friday Music, together with the

three numbers covering the Transformation Music and the three that embody the Prelude, make up a highly satisfying reproduc- tion of the essential music to Parsifal. The vocal records of Knupfer and Jadlowker are welcome additions to the collection.

4-2328 There is a flower that bloometh Wallace (" Maritana ")

w WALLACE'S lovely lyric

has been a favourite in the ears of English-

men for several decades. Its

simple strains, so plaintive, so appealing, so characteristic of the ultra-English art of the

composer of " Maritana," are given out with extraordinary effect by McCormack, whose purity of tone and dignity of delivery are marked features of a superb performance. The

flexibility of the great Irish tenor's voice is always a delightful feature of his ballad-singing, and the

present record is a fine example of the artist's singing

of the simple type of ditty. (Speed 78)

The characteristic phrasing, sure intonation and roundness of tone of Mr. Ben Davies are faithfully

3963 The Brook Dolores

T ENNYSON'S " Brook" " goes

on for ever," as all the world knows. And all the world

now knows that the artistic collab- oration of Alma Gluck and the great violinist, Efrem Zimbalist, which has gone on now for quite a long time, has had a romantic

denouement in the announcement of their betrothal. The two young artists have made so many concert appearances together in the United States that the news is not altogether unexpected. Cases of great artists marrying one another are not common : de Gogorza married Eames, Clara Butt became the wife of Kennerley Rumford ; but the instances are few.

The Gluck-Zimbalist engagement will focus special attention on the records these artists have given us in combination. They are exquisite renditions.

The new record of Gluck is a ravishing performance. The delicious upper register of this great soprano was never reproduced more admirably, and her singing throughout is gorgeous. The accompaniment is marvellously suggestive of the gurgling yet contented flow of a streamlet. (Speed 79)

With many a curve my banks I fret, By many a field and fallow,

And many a fairy foreland set, With willow, weed, and mallow :

I slip, I slide, I gleam, I glance Among my skimming swallows,

I make the netted sunbeams dance Against my sandy shallows,

I chatter, chatter as 1 flow, To join the brimming river,

For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever.

I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing,

And here and there a lusty trout. And here and there a grayling,

And here and there a snowy flake, Upon me as I travel.

With many a silver water break Above the golden ravel,

And draw them all along and flow To join the brimming river,

For men may come and men may go, But I go on for ever. (Tennyson)

MR. HUBERT

EISDELL has given us no prettier song

than "Sweet Early Violets." The exquisite timbre of this favourite light tenor's voice is remarkably reproduced here; so meticulously is he recorded that one follows the perfection even of his breathing. The texture of his voice is revealed in all its fineness, and the refine- ment and distinction of his rendering are a delight. A charming song-a charming rendition-a charming artist.

(Speed 78)Only a few sweet early violets,

Gather 'd, my love, for you ; See how the morning dew each petal wets

Like tears upon the blue. Take them because they bring a message, dear,

Out of this heart of mine; Ah I will your heart the words unspoken hear,

And all they mean diviný? Farewell I

Tho' I may never see your face again, Since now we say "goodbye!"

Love still will live, altho' it live in vain, Tho' these, my gift, will die I

T HE charming contralto, Miss Alice Lakin,

2-032008 Hosanna Granier (In French)

T RULY there is no

confine to the versa- tility of the world's

greatest tenor. Within the last few weeks we have had from him an intense little Florentine Song, " Pimpinella," an aria from " Rigoletto," and a tender little love-song in English, " Dreams of Long Ago " (the latter, by the way, of his own composition). This month, for the approach of Easter-tide, is offered a famous French sacred song, " Hosanna," which forms part of the Easter music in thousands of churches all over the world.

Caruso 's rendition is instinct with devotional feeling. The artist is obviously attuned to the spirit of the work, and the performance is a strikingly beautiful one. The inspiring climax is given with the full power of his lovely voice ; one recalls such a finale in another Easter record, Faure's " Crucifix," which is on the catalogue as a duet by Caruso and Journet. This latter number should be heard after " Hosanna."(Speed

78) English Version

A man is dead yet is He living. Hosanna ! Hosanna ! Hosanna ! Christians, believe, all honour giving, All shall raise. Hosanna, glory, praise ! Mourn ye no more, Night darkly veiled all the day's glory Joyful behold bright seraphim When on the earth closed the sad story, In their glory untold. Now cloth the sun beam bright once more, In the heavenly regions While all the world doth in wonder adore. Hear melodious legions. In the midst of the angels, Him forever they bless, The angels and archangels, Jesus Christ they confess. See the Lord on High Christ, my heart thou enfoldest. Resplendent in the sky I Thou my soul ever holdest, * * By Thy grace I see Thy face ! Hosanna ! Hosanna I Hosanna !

D R. HENSCHEL,

singer, pianist, teacher, con-

ductor, composer, was born in Breslau, Ger- many, in 1850. He is generally considered to be the greatest artist living, such a master is he in every sphere of musical activity.

He first appeared in public as a pianist in 1862, playing Weber's Piano Concerto ; made his ddbut as a baritone

singer at Leipzig in 1860, but did not come to England until eleven years later, when he had acquired a great reputation in Germany as a singer of lieder.

In 1878 Dr. Henschel settled in England (he became a naturalised Englishman in 1890) ; three years later he went to America and conducted the Boston Symphony Concerts until 1884. Returning to London, he founded, in 1885, the

The artists clean enuncia- tion, impeccable reproduction, and pleasing tone are features that make the record a notable one among the many superb examples of Radford's singing that we have issued. The way he gets down to the deep final passage is an astonishing display of the art of the basso profundo.(Speed
