Uncle John (an uncle of a friend) was supposed to have been very clean, but just a bit odd he slept in his underwear and without re moving it, wore it all day. For all this habit. Uncle John was said to be fastidious, for he put on a clean set of longies every night be fore going to bed. Now .after all these years we realize that Uncle John was not only fastidious, Uncle John was smart. Every morning stepping from a warm bed into the chill of dawn and pulling on cold jeans be fore going cut to do the farm chores, we re member Uncle John and his lovely warm woolens.

Both were on RCA-Victor disks. Heifetz, certainly needs no rec ommendation, neither does an RCA recording, these combined with the fact that Alfred Wallen stein conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and Wil liam Steinberg the RCA Sym phony on the record is almost too much. In the Roberta Peters record we hear arias from "I Puritani", "Lucia di Lammermoor". "La Sonnambula" and "Linda di Chamounix". Then to show off Miss Peters' voice and to add a fillup, they've re-recorded the voices of other coloraturas, Tet razzini, Galli-Curci and Pons. Miss Peters stacks up pretty well. A lively record of 12 Spanish Dances was among those we heard this week. Played by Jose Echaniz, Cuban pianist, the Granados dances provide fine en tertainment on v a Westminster record. An Epic record of Greig Peer Gynt Suit Nos. 1 and 2 are played by The Hague Philharmonic orch estra under Willem Van Otter- loo, who is really working won ders for Epic. Singing when in dicated, is by Erna Spoorenberg. Other new releases: Manuel de Falla, Three Corner ed Hat and Nights in the Gar dens of Spain. With Clifford Curzon and the New Symphony Orchestra under playing the lat ter, and the London Symphony orchestra playing the former. En rique Jorda directs both orches tras for the London recording. French Renaissance Vocal Music under the direction of Nadla Bou langer on a Decca release. Pretty dull listening. Beethoven's "Battle" Symphony, King Stephan Overture and Eleven Viennese Dances on an Oceanic record. Played by L'Orchestra Radio-Symphonique de Paris, con ducted by Rene Leibowitz. Greig, Norwegian Dances and Sibelius Rakastava and Valse Triste played by Vienna State Opera orchestra under Ftiti Llt schauer on a Vanguard record. Mozart, Divertimento in B Flat Major recorded by Vanguard and played by The Vienna State Opera Orchestra under Felix Prohaska and Violinist Jan Tomasow. MacDowell, Piano Concerts No. 1 and No 2, played by The Vienna State Opera Orchestra and Vivian Rivkin, pianist. Dean Dixon con ducting. Recording by Westminster.
