Columbia Album VM-726, 2 vols. $14.70 ;Youg Gian-Carlo Menotti is not only a fluent, Ingenious composer, but a deft librettist, and above all a born show man. These two short works are superb theater produc tions (as witnessed by their Broadway success), and while their strictly musical merits tend to be overlooked on the stage, they come into their own in these welcome and admirably realistic recordings. The skill of the cham ber orchestra, writing and performance impressed me particularly, but in addition there is some superb singing-acting here. f The more substantial work, The Medium, will be most effective for those who have seen as well as heard the virtuoso performances of Marie Powers and Evelyn Kel ler on the stage. On the other hand, The Telephone on discs is more than the featherweight divertisement It must be in the theater. At the very least it establishes Marilyn Cotlow as a light soprano star of the first mag nitude; her enunciation is perfectly understandable throughout (a miracle in itself), but on top of that her sparkling delivery of the laughing song, "Hello, Hello," and the gay It All Began on a Sunday" prove that the fabulous glories of Viennese operetta can find an Ameri can match once the right singer and the right composer come along as they emphatically do here. v Review of Recorded Music nn OVER 20,000 RECORDS FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE 10 UK' , 1 ! . it i I Radio and Record Specialists 428 COURT ST.
