...organ does not contrast with the orchestra but stirs it up and then masses forces with it. Considered shocking at the time ("If a young man at the age of 23 can write a symphony like that, in five years he will be ready to commit murder!" declared Con ductor Walter Damroseh), the work has never been recorded until now. The New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein conducting, provides a gentle-to-jazzy buildup for Organist E. Power Biggs...
...years the history of the Cleveland Orchestra was chiefly made by three people: John Long Severance, its chief patron; Mrs. Adella Prentiss Hughes, its manager, who first convinced Cleveland that it wanted an orchestra; and Con ductor Nikolai Sokoloff who assembled the musicians, trained them from scratch.

Con- ductor Sokoloff evidently does not hold the Cleveland musical public in the same high regard. Often he is vexed by it-for coming late, for coughing, for leaving early. Last week he rebuked it publicly for general lack of interest. A chorus of 30 Glenville High School girls had assisted in a concert, just finished Debussy's Blessed Damosel and taken their applause when Conductor Sokoloff stepped up. Said he: "If this were a baseball...
