...pleasantly surprised to see Munch's beautiful painting, The Cry, reproduced on your cover. When Munch died in 1944, he left the majority of his life's work, 1,200 paintings, 3,000 drawings and 12,000 graphic works, to the municipality of Oslo, his native city. All of these works are now a part of the Oslo Municipal Art Collection, and are to be housed in a separate building to be known as the Munch Museum.

He is essentially a humanist who finds the Christian forms both beautiful and adaptable to his own feelings...
...Munch never let Bruckner's rhetoric get out of hand. He controlled the volume and balance so well that the work built up to its most massive cannonade of sound at the very end and the removal of one choir, say the brass, did not weaken the motion of the other parts. Chorus, orchestra and soloists blended easily, the trumpets and horns penetrating the luminous tone of the chorus but never over-powering it. The chorus's enunciation was perfect throughout. As in the Faure, here there was no schmalz, and Richard Burgin's violin solo in the Aeterna...
