I have no intention df analyzing tonight’s program; the music of Chopin requires no explanatory notes. I wrote these few words of intro­duction to the concert for purely sentimental reasons.

Chopin disliked tying literary strings to his art. Unlike Debussy, who relished extravagant, often picturesque titles for his compositions, the Polish master preferred to call his piano pieces soberly Preludes, Etudes, Scherzi, Impromptus, etc. Yet, in spite of these vague and sometimes contradictory descriptions (like “Scherzo”, meaning “joke” in Italian), his works never fail to convey to the listener the dominating source of their inspiration—Chopin’s passionate devotion to his native Poland and his grief over the tragic outcome of the revolution of 1830 which made him an exile for life. His great genius proved to be the chief power in stimulating the courage of his countrymen in their con­tinuous fight for freedom.

Now, almost a hundred years after his death, we Poles are living again in a time of desperate struggle for survival and Chopin’s own town, Warsaw, has been utterly destroyed. For this reason his immortal music appeals to us today more strongly than ever!

Tonight’s program stresses the heroic rather than the lyrical character of his works—showing that Chopin, in spite of his physical weakness, possessed a soul of titanic stature. The Polonaise in F sharp minor which opens the concert is a tragic and defiant expression of his despair and anger, a mood broken for a moment by the eerie beauty of the middle section, the Mazurka, a daydream of a peaceful and happy Poland. Liszt heard in this Polonaise the sound of “muffled cannons”.

Continuing the program with the great Sonata in B minor, Op. 58. the Ballade in G minor, the dynamic Scherzo with its original theme of a Polish Christmas carol, the Etudes and Mazurkas, it seems fitting to close this concert with the Polonaise in A flat, Op. 53, Chopin’s proud and triumphant outcry of everlasting hope in victory.

RECORDSThis month Victor releases Sergei Rach­

maninoff’s own version of his last major opus, the Concerto No. 4 in G Minor. Written in 1936 at his chateau near Paris, and originally performed the next year, the Concerto was withdrawn from the repertory for nearly a decade. After revising it ex­tensively, the gloomy genius first played it in Carnegie Hall on Armistice Day, 1941, with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The last important composition by a commanding figure among the romantic Russians, in Rachmaninoff’s own definitive performance with the Philadelphia Orches­tra, it is a must for the music-minded. The keyboard performance is characterized by the majestic sweep and nobility of style which made Rachmaninoff one of the great concert pianists of this generation.

Another definitive performance in a Red Seal album is Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 1 in E Minor (Nordic), conducted by the composer with the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra. Hanson is the winner of this year’s Pulitzer Prize for distin­guished musical composition.

Ever since his first appearance in Car­negie Hall with Fritz Busch and the New York Symphony in 1927, Yehudi Menuhin has been a familiar figure in “the house that music built”. His teacher, Georges Enesco, is not exactly unknown here either, having appeared variously as composer, con­ductor and violinist. The famous team have joined up in a superlatively sympathetic performance of the Bach Double Concerto in D Minor for Victor. Pierre Monteux conducts the orchestra.

RED SEAL SINGLES

A native North Carolinian, Norman Cor­don understands by instinct the Negro songs which arose from the yearnings of a troubled people in the South; in fact, his singing of spirituals won him his first audi­tion with the Chicago Opera Company. His version of the classic prisoner’s plea, “Water Boy”, and the plaintive “Go Down, Moses”, are first-rate recordings.

Metropolitan Opera stars Elisabeth Reth- berg and Ezio Pinza make a joint appear­ance on Red Seal with “Bei mannern, welche liebe fuhlen” from Mozart’s master­piece, “The Magic Flute”. On the reverse side, Mr. Pinza sings the humorously ironic “Se voul ballare” from “The Marriage of Figaro”.
