Home Orera Vocal Alla vita che tarride.” Barto 1x Mascuera: Columbia (Verdi.) Sung by Riccardo Stracciari. 7085. A food old-fashioned aria, from Verdi's first opera straightforward vocal melody with an_accompani- ment that is almost naive. Stracciari, always an admirable artist, sings this with the deep, ever- smooth sonority of a ‘cello. An unusually fine baritone record. La Bonese: “Che gelida manina.” Sung by Siulio Crimi. (Puccini.) Acolian-Vocalion $4009. Nearly all the well-known tenors have sung atelo, the Latin Quarter poet who discovers that his fair neighbor's little hand is cold; but Crimi’s rendering is a welcome addition to the list because of his clear, amazingly powerful voice. For- tunately this aria is mainly lyrical in character, as he is not convincing in heavy emotion. The recording is excellent. Cavatterta Rusticana: “Voi lo sapete.”” (Mas- Sung by Claudia Muzio, Pathé sgo2r. a singer who can portray heavy emotion convincingly.

Acolian-Vocalion $4010. here we have sheer romance. Mignon, {nendless among xipsies, longs for her native land. The simple-hearted melody is very lovely. Miss Easton sings it appealingly throughout, but there are one or two spots where one is reminded that she is singing into a horn. Monxa Vanna: “Elle est a moi Sung by Lucien Muratore. Pathé $4010. Frankly we confess ourselves unable to speak of this record in moderate terms. Nor shall we vainly attempt to describe it. To us it is the most glorious, most bewilderingly beautiful thing we have ever heard on a phonograph. We say this after having played it more than twenty times, sh ever-increasing enthrallment I, Trovatore: “D'amor sull’ ali rosee.” (Verdi.) Sung by Rosa Raisa. Arolian-M'ocalion $4007 Leonore’s song ou’ the prison of her lover is scarcely dramatic or otherwise exciting, but there is about it a quict beauty, a restrained vocal effectiveness which grows upon the listener with each rehearing. Rosa Raisa, whose voice shifts strangely from contralto to soprano, sings it with exquisite art. (Thomas.) Sung (Feévrier.) Instrumental Witttam Tete: Overture. (Rossini.) Played by Vocalion Concert Band. Acolian-Vocalion 36204. A remarkable achievement in band _ recording. This familiar overture, with its realistic storm, charming pastoral strains, and climactic finale, is reproduced so clearly that one can follow each individual instrument throughout the complexity of the score, and each has its natural tone-quality. Divided into halves, on the two sides of the disk, it plays nearly twelve minutes in all Carmen: Selections. (a) Prelude. (b) Les Torea- dors. (Bizet.) I,_Trovatore: Selections. (Verdi.)

On one side we have the bravado of the bullfighters, and on the other the oft-hammered “Anvil Chorus” Played by Columbia and the “Miserere.” In the last Caruso is im- personated by a trumpet, and Emma Eames by a clarinet; but the anvil is its own sweet self.

Bohunkus, or the Song Unsung By Tom Brown IME sing me the song of Bohunkus, Thou elderly peg-legged bard! Bohunkus the oysterman, tender and true! O sing me his song for an hour or two— I'm sure it won't be very hard.” (And I pensively booted the bard.) “Nay, ask not the song of Bohunkus, O youth with the shrimp-colored eyes! Bohunkus! I scarcely dare mention his name For fear of the curse of his overfed dame— She's seventy-three times my size.” (And he dreamily swallowed three flies.) “Twill hear the song of Bohunkus, The tale of his valor and worth! Bohunkus the oysterman, pious and bold! I'll eat not and sleep not until I am told That tale full of sorrow and mirth.” (And I pinned that old bard to the earth.) “What! Wouldst hear the song of Bohunkus, O mortal presumptuous and rash? Ah, well! I will yield to your ill-advised prayers, Provided you buy some small part of my wares. I find 1 am lacking in cash. (So I purchased a barrel of hash.) “Ah me! That old song of Bohunkus! I've sung it both hither and yon. And e’en tho’ I know it’s a parcel of lies Tt still brings the tears to my starry old cyes, As you will discover anan.”” (And he stroked his pet cuttle-fish, John.) “Now, first of all, who was Bohunkus?” T asked in a tone of command. “Bohunkus?” He answered, “Why, how should I know? I ne'er heard the name 'til a moment ago—" I slew that old bard out of hand. (And I buried him neatly in sand.)
