Alban Berg: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (Louis Krasner with the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by Artur Rodzinski; Columbia; six sides). Much of the music of Viennese Composer Berg, who died in 1935 (a disciple of Atonalist Arnold Schonberg), sounds like tortured, caterwauling doubletalk. But in this concerto, his atonalism is for once eloquent and heartfelt; it is Composer Berg's elegy on the death of his friend Manon Gropius, daughter of famed Architect Walter Gropius. The Clevelanders and Modernist Krasner give a stirring performance...

On sale last fortnight in Manhattan shops was a new recording of Ein Heldenleben, by Artur Rodzinski and the Cleveland Orchestra (Columbia: 10 sides; $5.50). It was well recorded but not the best ever (most sweeping performance is Victor's 1928 version, by Willem Mengelberg).

...ruses of our cities and their symphony orchestras [which] are frequently too remote socially from their community." Composer Harris wrote his symphony last winter, had part of it performed and broadcast at an Eastman festival in Rochester last spring. Cleveland got first crack at the whole work because Artur Rodzinski, conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, is a friend of Roy Harris. A symphony in title only, the long work is a five-move ment setting of U. S. songs, with two dance-tune interludes. The songs: When Johnny Comes Marching Home; Oh, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie...
