...composition. His four orchestral holiday pieces (1904-1913) are now assembled permanently for the first time in a quasi symphony; though-musical economics being what they are-all were recorded by foreign orchestras. Thus the Imperial Philharmonic Orchestra of Tokyo plays for the barn dance in Washington's Birthday, the Finnish Radio Symphony celebrates Decoration Day, Sweden's Goteborg Symphony the Fourth of July, the Iceland Symphony Thanksgiving.

Over the Washington's Birthday weekend, the Met counted a record of 59,099 admissions during Sunday's four-hour visiting period. It was a record for only a fortnight; two weeks later, more than 62,000 came. The Met even plans to widen its front steps...
