Music Magazine Conducts Ninth Annual Radio Poll Television is assuming increasing importance in the eyes, of serious music critics, according to the results of Musical Amer ica's ninth annual poll of serious music on the air, which are an nounced in the magazine's June issue. Among the 850 music critics and editors of the the daily newspapers in the United States and Canada who received ballots, many reported that television has not ye$ appeared in their districts, but the majority expressed themselves vigorously aoout music on tne viaeo screen, xney want more opera, they want it in English, and they would like to see it expressly composed for the medium. . These preferences were ex- pressed in answer to one of two questions which evoked vigor ous response. The other question referred to the increasing use of records and transcriptions on the air. The voters, in strength amounting to more than two to one, approved this practice, gen erally on the grounds that with out recordings, they would hear very little good music on the radio. Balloting in this classification, music on television, bore out the critics' preferences for specially designed opera. Gian Carlo Men otti's one-act opera, "Amahl and the Night Visitors," not only placed first as the outstanding work of any type, but also re ceived enough tallies to make it runner-up for the special award, outstanding event of the year. By the same token, the NBC TV Opera Theatre, which pro duced Amahl in a series of eight operas, was far ahead in the vot ing for the best opera program on TV. Opinion was about equally di vided about the value of trans ferring concerts and recitals to the video screen, but there was almost complete unanimity in nominating the NBC Symphony telecasts for the first place in Concert Television. NBC also can boast of other special, awards. For the sixth time, this network was cited as most faithfully serving the cause of serious music through the year. For the seventh time, one of NBC's programs captured an other coveted special award, as Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, conducted by Arturo Toscanini with the NBC Symphony, was named as the "Outstanding Event of the Year." Two win ners who have never lost ground in the nine years of the poll are also claimed by NBC Arturo Toscanini, as symphony director, and The Telephone Hour, Don ald Voorhees, conductor, as or chestra with featured artists. A fourth special award, given annually to the Metropolitan Opera for its outstanding broad cast, was taken by Strauss's Elektra. The farewell appearances of Kirsten Flagstad, both in opera and concert, were reflected in the voting, and she was honored by a first place as woman singer, the only newcomer in first place among the nine categories re served for radio broadcasting in this year's poll. The list of first place winners includes: Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic-Sym phony (CBS; orchestra with fea tured artists, The Telephone Hour (ninth time); symphony conductor, Arturo Toscanini (ninth time); opera conductor, Fritz Reiner (fourth time); wom an singer, Kirsten Flagstad, (first time); man singer, Jussi Bjoerl- ing (third time); pianist, Artur Rubinstein (fifth time); violinist, Jascha Heifetz (seventh time); organist, E. Power Biggs (sev enth time). Shirley Hutchinson .
