214 The Phonograph Monthly Review HGV By Robert Donaldson Darrell T HIS month's releases are characterized by a large number of excellent orchestral works and also by several more excellent pieces for the “Unusual” list. Oftentimes, of course, it is by mere chance that we discover that one of the ordinary-appearing foreign releases is character- ized by qualities which entitle it to a place of distinction. The recording of “Shining Moon” by Kirilloff's Balalaika Orchestra, Victor 19960 was released some time ago, but deserves mention anew. Columbia 33116 F, Irish Folk Songs by Seamus O'Doherty, undoubtedly the most dis- tinctive “unusual” record of the month, is re- viewed elsewhere in this issue. The songs were described in the article on “Traditional Irish Music” in last month's issue. In addition to its regularly monthly releases, the Victor Company issued its annual special re- lease this month. Some of the records below are drawn from its lists. The Kreutzer Sonata in the Music Arts Library was reviewed in these pages some time ago, but was not officially re- leased until this month. The customary abbreviations and the astericks (*) denoting special merit or unusual interest are used as before. GENERAL *Poet and Peasant Overture (Victor Symphony Orch.) Victor 35797.
