Penn (0-3) wasn't supposed to have much this year, but Columbia (0-2-1) had Archie Roberts. This alone was supposed to be enough to win a few games, but so far it hasn't been.

Now, in its first American recording, the Fourth is worth hearing mainly to find out what all the fuss was about. Whatever its polemic content may be, it sounds clumsily Mahlerian and full of papier-maché grandeur...
