...very loose and easy with a tricky last chorus--the best he has done lately . . . One of the Brunswick higher officials swears that a be-spectacled clarinet player is going to start recording for them shortly . . . Started to compare some classical vocal records with those of various jazz artists last week in an effort to label differences of phrasing--ran across Marion Anderson's new album of the Songs of Brahms and found it to be beautiful, simple singing, especially the Alto Rhapsody which is built around episodes in the lonely Hartz Mountains in Germany. Miss Anderson makes the stark...
...them gratis, that it is only because the donor feels that it is unsalable. Such concert-goers may be entirely right at times, for free concerts are sometimes merely trying grounds for new music and new performers. But, on the other hand, one should always remember that a sincere artist, considering himself an interpretative medium, is always eager to pass his music on to an appreciative audience and that he will do so whenever he can.

Present German art tendencies are strong and realistic. External aspects are emphasized in a way which does not allow for an after-reverberation in the mind of the audience of the theme which the artist is trying to present. The artist, in attempting to express himself in such a fashion that his idea will be made clear to the onlooker, throws his whole subjective self into his creation with the result that not a great deal is left to the imagination of the spectator. Most great artists have left a slight gap between themselves and those who are receiving their...
