'Kispness in the Fall air means the opera and concert season has
arrived. And with it come two exceptional record packages:
Angel's "La Boheme" as performed by the La Scala company,
including Maria Callas, and a new limited edition of "The Five
Beethoven Concertos," as performed by Artur Rubinstein and the
Symphony of the Air, Josef Krips conducting.
TOPS ON THE RECORD SHELVES: Who can forget the voice of
Al Jolson? For the millions of Jolson fans, Decca has brought out
"Among My Souvenirs," a series of off-the-air songs sung as only Al
could sing them.
From the same label comes another special package, "Satchmo
A Musical Autobiography of Louis Armstrong." Complete with
printed story and narrative, this is truly a living history of jazz as
told by a master.
MUSIC FOR FAMILY LISTENING: For those who like vocal rec
ords, let's tee off with "Patti Page," a Mercury etching featuring
selections everyone associates with the Singing Rage. Then follow
with RCA's "Belafonte Sings of the Caribbean" which, of course,
stars Harry Belafonte. In a sultry mood, try "Stormy Weather," an
RCA etching by Lena Home. And for more of the same, listen to
Julie Wilson sing "My Old Flame," her new Vik LP.
Devotees of early Glenn Miller music will want to add "Marvelous
Miller Moods" to their collections. This RCA album features Glenn's
band of the Air Corps days and was produced from broadcasts made
by the group shortly before it went overseas. In another vein, spin
"Moods in Music," a Mercury release starring Herman Clebanoff and
his beautiful strings. And switching moods again, "Club Durant"
offers a history of night clubs, featuring the one and only Jimmy
Durante with guests ranging from Ethel Barrymore to Bing Crosby.
COVERING THE CLASSICS: Verdi's "Rigoletto" is one of the best
loved operas, and RCA's new release, recorded at the Rome Opera
House, comes complete with printed story and dialogue. "Souvenir
of Vienna" is a musical visit to Old Europe via Angel, and Capitol's
"Overture" as performed by the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Or
chestra is a fine listening experience.
"The Art of Rosa Ponselle" is Camden's entry, and the program
is tastefully selected and artistically performed. "Fritz Kreisler (
Favorites" with Rafael Druian, violin, and John Simms, piano, is
another in the excellent Mercury Olympian series, while "The Sadlers
Wells Ballet A Silver Jubilee Tribute" is one of the finest groupings
we've heard. Angel presents this package as performed by the Royal
Opera House Orchestra.
JAZZOMANIA: Last year we were in attendance when Norman
Granz smashed all records with his jazz concert at the Hollywood
Bowl. Now this bash, complete with Ella Fitzgerald, the late Art
Tatum, and many others, is on Verve records.
"The Swingin' Miss D" is Mercury's spotlighting of Dinah Wash
ington on one of her best shellacs to date. From Atlantic comes
Dixieland at Jazz Ltd.," which features such names as Sidney Bechet,
Miff Mole, and Muggsy Spanier. And Vik's contribution to the swing
ing scene is "The Four Brothers Together Again," starring Zoot Sims,
Al Cohn, Herb Steward, and Serge Chaloff.
