...operas and 400 concerti grossi. Some of them fascinated his contemporary, Johann Sebastian Bach, so much that Bach made numerous Vivaldi transcriptions. This month, on the heels of the worldwide Bach anniversary celebrations, Italy's Cetra-Soria Co. has put the case for its countryman in two handsome LP albums. The first includes the Piano Concerto in B Minor, rearranged from Bach's transcription, the Concerto Grosso in D Minor, Op. 3, No. n and a largo from a violin concerto. In the second are the Concerto in E Major for Violin and Strings and Overture...

Beethoven: Concerto No. I (Walter Gieseking, pianist, with the Philharmonia Orchestra; Columbia, 2 sides LP).

Puccini: II Tabarro, Gianni Schicchi (Cetra-Soria, 2 sides LP each). These two one-acters, with Suor Angelica, make up Puccini's Triptych, which had its world premiere at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House in 1918. Gianni Schicchi, which still survives at the Met, is a bright and appealing piece of foolishness. In this recording, it is a roaring fine vehicle for first-rate Baritone Giuseppe (Falstaff) Taddei. Il Tabarro (The Cloak) is Puccini at his most melodramatic blood & thundering. These Radio Italiana performances give both operas their full due; so does the recording...
