Moussorgsky-Cailliet: Pictures at an Exhibition (Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy conducting; Victor: 8 sides). Ever since titanic, rum-nosed Russian Composer Moussorgsky wrote an innocent little set of piano pieces called Pictures at an Exhibition, other musicians have been busy dressing it up in fancy and irrelevant orchestrations. Most famous of these is the late Maurice Ravel's, to which Orchestrator Lucien Cailliet's adds little. Performance and sound-reproduction are excellent...

Through its 28 melodic evolutions they could unmistakably recognize the theme Bach had later expanded and used in his great Passacaglia in C Minor.* But few in the audience had ever heard more about Buxtehude than his odd name. Important as is his niche in the history of music, Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) was a great organist whose works are rarely played...
Young Eugene Ormandy walked briskly into the Philadelphia limelight last week, hopped onto the Stokowski throne and in a determined, businesslike manner commanded attention for two Bach transcriptions, arranged by Lucien Cailliet, a jolly bespectacled Frenchman, known by Philadelphians as one of their regular clarinetists. After Cailliet's Bach came Mozart's Fourth Violin Concerto with Fritz Kreisler as soloist, forerunning such headliners as Josef Hofmann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Kirsten Flagstad, Vladimir Horowitz, Mischa Levitzki, Jascha Heifetz, Lawrence Tibbett, Artur Schnabel, all sure bait for customers not altogether sure of a youthful new conductor.
