Sibelius: Symphony No. I (New York Philharmonic-Symphony, John Barbirolli conducting; Columbia; 10 sides) and Symphony No. 7 (St. Louis Symphony, Vladimir Golschmann conducting; Victor; 6 sides). Two of the great Finn's finest. Golschmann's 7th, the only version available outside the six-volume collection of the Sibelius Society, is an ideal performance, magnificently recorded. Barbirolli's First is somewhat pedestrian, strongly rivaled by Ormandy's excellent Victor album...
...this roused the envy of St. Louis' Conductor Vladimir Golschmahn. Promising in his program that he would perform the overture so stirringly that the audience would "literally be lifted from their seats," Conductor Golschmann ransacked nearby army camps for artillery. He found plenty of cannon, but no blank shells. At last Conductor Golschmann settled for a couple of shotguns which he borrowed from the Schubert Theater's property manager, Eugene Popp. They were "fired by stage mechanics into empty wooden tubs. St. Louis Symphony patrons agreed that the popping of Popp's shotguns was noise enough...

Mrs. Charles S. Guggenheimer announced that $65,000 had been collected toward the $75,000 budget. Adolph Lewisohn, 88, who donated the $225,000 stadium, promised other conductors like Fritz Reiner, Willem Van Hoogstraten, Alexander Smallens, George King Raudenbush. The first week of the eight-week season was to feature Lily Pons singing three arias and Soprano Erica Darbo in an elaborate production of Strauss's Salome...
...Cincinnati and Chicago will start their seasons, under such proven leaders as Polish Artur Rodzinski, British Eugene Goossens and square old Frederick Stock, born a German but for many a year a proud Chicago institution. St. Louis' hopes are high again for a series of concerts under Vladimir Golschmann, the sleek Franco-Russian who has built himself a strong Missouri following. The Los Angeles Philharmonic was driving for money last week and awaiting the return of towering Otto Klemperer. San Francisco stages its opera season first, but by midwinter the rejuvenated symphony will be playing again under the beneficent...
