...best Messiah now available is the Angel recording conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent (Angel 3598 C). Its soloist's names are relatively unfamiliar in this country (with the possible exception of the tenor, Richard Lewis), but Sir Malcolm, unlike Sir Adrian, has restrained his extravagances, and has produced a restrained, lyrical and perfectly balanced Messiah...
...Angel now also has one of the best recordings of J. S. Bach's Magnificat in D (Angel 45027). Here the tenor is again Richard Lewis, whose Deposuit potentes de sede is one of the clearest and most satisfying interpretations of that aria; Geraint Jones conducts his own capable orchestra.

Though the Gospel of Matthew accords Joseph rather than Mary the honor of hearing the Annunciation from the angel of the Lord, St. Joseph is not even named in the liturgy of the Mass, which so honors 27 other saints. Last week a widespread campaign was under way to remedy this omission; sent to every Catholic prelate in the world was a pamphlet marshaling the arguments for St. Joseph...
