STRING QUARTET
29
A FAMOUS ORGANIZATION
The Vienna Quartet
NUMBER SIZE
5754 Barcarolle — Les Contes d’ Hoffman
Offenbach 10
Offenbach’s Contes d’Hoffman or in English “Tales of Hoffman," has been one of the great suc¬ cesses of the Manhattan Opera, and the most ad¬ mired of the numbers is this dreamy and beautiful Barcarolle, “Belle Nuit," which is given as a duet in the Venetian scene and afterwards as an instru¬ mental intermezzo before the last act. The favorite “Barcarolle” is exquisitely played, with a graceful lightsomeness wholly charming.
5750 Chant sans paroles.
( Song Without Words)
{Op. 2, No. 2)
Tschaikowsky 10
THE VIENNA QUARTET
The Vienna Quartet records have been warmly greeted by lovers of good music. The playing of the quartet is a fine example of the spirit and finish that can be put into popular music and the lighter classics when properly played.
Many notable composers and critics have heard and admired the work of this organization, and have expressed their pleasure in no uncertain manner. The constant association of the players during the many years they have been together has given them a perfection of ensemble and a beauty of style which is most delightful.
Little need be said about the Chant sans paroles, as it is among the half dozen best known short pieces by the Russian composer. It is grace¬ fully played by this excellent organization.
31756 Danse Caprice (Op. 28, No. 3) Grieg 12
A familiar and highly popular number — one of the most charming of Grieg’s lighter compositions, upon which, rather than his sonatas and dramatic works, most of his popularity with the general public depends. This Danse Caprice is from the book of Album Leaves (Opus 28), and it has been pronounced quite as good as any of the Chopin waltzes.
31760 Poeme Erotique Grieg 12
The quartet gives a masterly rendition of the Grieg number, a beautiful composition frequently heard in concert.
WHISTLING SOLOS
Spmted, clear and perfectly tuned records, given with a well-balanced orchestral accompaniment, by three famous European whistlers. These records are all very loud, and for small rooms will perhaps be improved by the use of Victor “half-tone” needles.
