If the machine will handle LP records, the answer is y" The reviews are written tor au interested in better recorded mu sic, and we include only what will Bound reasonably well on all play era. True in many cases, -the lull tonal ranee can be fully appre ciated only when heard on the newer type machines, the new rec ords are better than ever on any machine. Now that we have declared what we never do, we shall proceed to do it. to prove the point. Typical of the records we never review is one called Musical Gad- getry on which one hears the music of instruments found in the saloons of yesteryear and of which the modern Jutebox. is a direct descendant, and off whose old block It is a noisy chip. The record is fascinating, even to one who takes her music a bit purer. Carousel, hurdy gurdy, bell and xylophone piano (said to be the noisiest instrument ever invent ed) and several music boxes give off their music for the benefit of the strictly nutty hi-fi fan. As a prelude to the Metropoli tan's broadcast of La Forza del Destino, in which Zinka Milanov sings Leonora, we listened to her recording of operatic arias on Mi- laser Sings on an RCA. This introduction to the Yugoslav so prano's voice we feel is an excel lent one for not only are the selec tions the best music, they are ex cellent reproductions. She sings arias from La Forza de Destino, La Gio:onda, Aida, II Trovotore and Cavallena Rusticana. We also heard the complete opera "OteUo" by VerdLon RCA records. That Toscanini directed the recording is proof enough of the excellence -f the performance. Made during a broadcast perform ance at the Met in 1947 the singers are Herva Nelli as Desdemona, Ramon Vinay as OteUo, Giuseppe Valdengo as lago and Nan Merri man as Emilia. It is indeed an exciting performance and the re production ii exceptional. An in teresting feature of the libretto, is that beside the Italian and English, the Shakespearean source of the lines is included. Also on this week's records are Brallewsky Plays Liszt, a brilli ant performance of superb music, but Ob a record that seems to us o'clock Saturday program "The Music You Want", with Hellen B.

Four Pianos On Stage at High School On Monday night Tbe First Piano Quartet appears at Salem High School auditorium for a concert, the last In the Willam ette University Distinguished Artist series. Four countries are represented in , the quartet: Aaam uarner from Poland, Glauco D'Attill from Italy. Frank Mettler from Austria, and Edward Edson from the United States. The "United Nations' musicians carry tan equal share of keyboard respon sibility during their concerts. I The domain of four-piano mu sic and arrangements, is neces sarily their own. Little distin guished music has ever been written for four pianas, with the exception of a little-known work of Bach, the "Vivaldi Concerto." It was originally written for lour violins and then arranged by Baeh for four pianos. " Today much of 'the Quartet s time between their NBC radio broadcasts is spent making (heir own arrangements of the clas sics. - t "No single one of us does the arranging." Mr. Edson says. "Once we decide upon a particu lar selection, each makes a four- piano arrangement Then f we play and discuss them, and 'usu ally end by combining tne best narts of alL" " I Radio listeners answer the in vitation to suggest compositions they would like to have arranged for four pianos, and the Quartet's weekly broadcast has been large ly based on these. i Tickets for the concert are on sale at Stevens and Son Jewelers or st the door. . f to have a disturbingly metallic sound, bordering on reverberation. : The Detroit Symphony s per formance of Ravel's Bolera is an other of those exciting records by Mercury.

The author in all seriousness, began with a quote by Matisse himself. "I paint for little other reason than to give pleasure and relaxation to a li the tired business man no less than the aesthete to bring there both a sort of mental sedative, something as easy to relax in as comfortable armchair. At first glance this seems a worthy outlook on the part of tbe artist .It Is only after thinking m It that certain distorting questions arise. Far Instance, what has art U - with comfirt? Is art's final day of glory to he a mental seda tive, U be comfortable like an armchair? Is relaxation Ihe eat point of an artistic endeavour? These questions are doubly per tinent when the author of the arti cle injects Plato's criterion of art to give historical credence to Mat isse's artistic purpose. Definitely r-iate-would approve of bis work, for it would never be guilty of exciting tensions of life, its stress and pull. His work is an island of bliss "beauty" separated from the infringements of strife. There art to be no tragic poets in Utopia, Intensity of emotion other than in color alone are forbidden for they lead into un-painterly fields of concern. Always Orderly Like Plato, Matisse is concerned with law and order. "Art must never disturb, disrupt, agitate or irritate with strong demands or complaints concerning one's mean ing or position in life. It is in deed to be a sedative, purging tbe travails of life by ignoring them, of acting as if life has but one or dered side: : the struggle, suffer ing, frustrations must be over looked. Matisse has the apprais ing eye that does not penetrate to extreme depths. The epmforuble armchair world is the limb and dnmh haven fer the leaden materialist, the bored sophisticate who wants a fixed world, where supposed order and harmony hide the harsh realities of existence. It Is a snrface world with no nnderpinnings capable of facing np to the world, taking connt of it, passing judgement npon.it It luxuriates judgment contemplates. ; Matisse never passes judgement; on life nor expects his audience to do so. It is a sort of mutual numbness, labelled esthetic bliss. It has none of the vital awareness of man's deepness we find say, in Rouault who confronted man, "exi amining and scrutinizing the con ditions of his existence." Perhaps this comparison Is unfair but it does show the abdication Matisse has made. In fact it is a sort of negative answer to the world, negative in that Us positive assert tion of color, design, is not to- Green Stamps Street j Husbands Will Do Guosts at Dinnor Salem Sojourners will hold their semi-annual no-host dinner party for members, their bus- bands and guests on i Tuesday, March. 16, at Mayflower Hall at 6:30 p. m. ... , ' J; Mrs. Donald W.
