On the Record THE JUDGE Library THE JUDGE is happy to announce that the selections of Victor Records listed in the Library below will be broadcast on the Victor Record Hour from 11:15 p. m. to 12:00 p. m. on Monday, July 11th, from the following stations: WMAL—Washington, D. C. KDKA—Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania KYW-—Philadelphia, Pennsylvania WTAM—Cleveland, Ohio KOA—Denver, Colorado WENR—Chicago, Illinois WBZ & WBZA—Boston, Massachusetts KGO—San Francisco, Calif. WGY—Schenectady, New York USIC sharks and opera devotees, sit near the door so that you can get out in a hurry when an outburst of superior knowledge seems about to over- whelm you. Swing addicts and jazz-band fiends, kindly give your feet an anaesthetic. Ordinary people who wish to take advantage of the opportunity afforded by modern records to enjoy the best in music, please come in and take a com- fortable chair and have a sandwich, or a piece of cake, or a macaroon. This is meant for you! The only way most of us will ever acquire a library of good music is to pick a few records each month and gradually accumulate a fairly wide variety. How- ever, when we start to select a few out of the thousands offered, it becomes an almost impossible task. At the same time, we do want to have a sufficient variety of music at home to hear when we are in the mood. There will be published in this de- partment cach month a list of good rec- ords, and these records will be picked with the idea that anybody who listens to them, whether he has had much mu- sical education or not, will be able to enjoy them. The only other factor taken into account is that the music shall be of such a quality that you will like it better every time you listen to it. At the end of a year, whoever has ac- quired the records listed in THE JUDGE library, will have a good variety of music of different kinds, offering something for his particular enjoyment, no matter what mood he may be in. An investment of a few dollars a month will return a very high dividend in relaxation and honest pleasure. Late releases will only be considered as they meet the other requirements of this library. THE JUDGE will be glad to have from its readers suggestions of records that have appealed to them as being particularly enjoyable, but which have not yet appeared in this department. The Judge Library for July Victor ‘Wine, Woman and Song—Waltz (Jo- hann Strauss) Boston “Pops” Arthur Fiedler. The introduction is more elaborate than usual, and you might try playing the second side of the record first some- time to note the use of the waltz ma- terial in the introduction. La Precieuse (Couperin) —Fritz Kreisler. Chanson Louis XIII et Pavane (Cou- perin) —Fritz Kreisler. This music of the French Court, played by Fritz Kreisler, is almost pure melody, played as only Kreisler can play at. Sailormen (Rot h-Wo1fe)—John Charles Thomas. The Green-Eyed Dragon (Newman- Charles) . Two children’s songs for grown-ups, sung by a singer who needs no praise. Prelude in A Flat Major (Chopin, Op. Ignace Jan Paderewski 28, No. 17). Prelude in D Flat (Raindrop Prelude) (Chopin, Op. 28, No. 15)—Ignace Jan Paderewski. People have travelled hundreds of miles to hear Paderewski play Chopin. Now you can sit at home and hear him. Finlandia (Tone Poem) (Sibelius, Op. 26, Philadelphia Orchestra No. 7) —Leopold Stokowski, Cond. One of the great compositions of mod- ern times. You ought to get really ex- cited over this one. (The above records will be played on the Victor-Judge program, as stated above, Monday, July eleventh.) Columbia Air, Sonatina, Gigue, Gavotte, Fugue (Francois Campion). Julio Martinez Oyanguren (Guitarist Unaccompanied) . The amazing work of the guitarist de- serves inclusion in any good library of records. Nocturne, Le Mariage Des Roses, S'il Est Un Charmant Gazon (Franck), Georges Thill (Tenor). Three gorgeous French songs by a great French singer. Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Major Egon Petri, Pianist (Tschaikowsky) — with the London Philharmonic orchestra. You will find fresh enjoyment every time you listen to this concerto. Orch.
