...outbreak of the 1919 Revolution when they retired to a distant Hungarian village, devoted themselves for two years to the cult of chamber music. Now the Lener is one of the world's first string organizations. In Manhattan last fortnight its tender, lush playing of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven won noisy approval from the audience, superlatives from critics; made recent performances by the London String Quartet seem over-fastidious, bloodless by comparison.

In Cleveland, Nikolai Sokolov's orchestra began its twelfth season, presumably the last before it moves into the new hall provided by the $6,000,000 endowment fund raised last spring (TIME, May 6).
