...combined orchestras will be conducted by Miss Florence Leach of Colby, and by Malcolm H. Holmes '28. The program will include Mendelssohn's overture to Fingal's Cave, three movements from the Jupiter Symphony by Mozart, and "Tales from the Vienna Woods," by Johann Strauss...
Hephzibah Menuhin and her famous brother, Yehudi, have collaborated to record Mozart's Sonata in A (Kochel No. 526). Sister Hephzibah gives a creditable and authoritative performance at the piano which truly collaborates rather than assists. These sonatas have formerly been used for informal family affairs by aspiring musical amateurs. This sonata, written in the great creative year of Mozart is one of the more serious sonatas, though it is generally in a pleasant and jolly mood. There are, however, frequent lapses into solemn and, plaintive movement even in the Allegro and Presto. The conventional ornaments for the sake...
...flat Symphony of Mozart is as happy a composition as may be found in musical literature, though it was not played with all the spontaneity that might have been wished for. There is a passage in the last movement in which there is no theme but just a general movement of jollity among the strings.

The men's respect mounted until some were calling him the next Toscanini...
...public performance Iturbi merely clenched his baton a little tighter and with the simplest of gestures led the men on to do what he had taught them at rehearsal. But the music was so articulate, the Mozart so sparkling, the Rhenish Symphony of Schumann so gravely romantic, that in intermission the lobby was abuzz with the talk of this coming young conductor. The program went on with Debussy's La Mer, the Intermezzo from Granados' Goyescas, three dances from De Falla's Three-Cornered Hat. At the end the audience was on its feet cheering. The players...
