Faust — Prelude (Gounod) L’Orchestre Symphonique 12
The Victor begs to announce a series of orchestral records by a celebrated organization, the Orchestre Symphonique of Paris.
Music lovers will note with pleasure that the orchestra has played several numbers from Gounod's Faust. The first is the mysterious prelude, with its somewhat sombre opening strain given by the bassoon, expressing the brooding of Faust relieved, however, by the cavatina of Valentine on the wood-wind, and closing with sustained chords, solemn and impressive.
Faust — Ballet Music ( Parti — Valse, “Les Nubiennes”) (Gounod)
L’Orchestre Symphonique 12
Gounod placed his ballet between the death of Valentine and the Prison Scene ; called it a W alpurgis Night, set it in a mountain fastness amid ruins, and called to the scene the classic queens, fdelen, Phryne and Cleopatra, who danced to weird and distorted versions of melodies from the opera. The first part, which in the opera accompanies the dance of the Nubian Slaves, is a most striking portion, beginning with introductory chords, after which the violins take up a delicious melody afterward repeated with bassoon obbligato.
Faust — Ballet Music ( Part II — Adagio, “Cleopatra and the Golden
Cup’’) (Gounod) L’Orchestre Symphonique 12
The second part is the adagio movement which accompanies in the opera the scene in which the Nubian Slaves dnnk from golden cups the poisons of Cleopatra, who herself moistens her lips from a vase in which she has dissolved her most precious pearls.
Faust — Ballet Music, Nos. 5 and 6 ( Les Troyennes et Variation du
Miroir) (Gounod) L’Orchestre Symphonique 12
In the performance of the ballet, Parts 5 and 6 accompany the appear¬ ance of the goddess Phryne, who rises, a veiled apparition, and commands the dance to recommence.
Faust — Ballet Music — Finale ( Danse de Phryne) (Gounod)
L’Orchestre Symphonique 12
The Finale, “Danse de Phryne," is brisk in movement, rising to a wild climax and ending suddenly with a crashing chord. It is a most effective and exciting bit of ballet composition.
Giggler — March and Two-Step (Haines) Victor Orchestra 10
Glow-Worm — Intermezzo (Lincke) Victor Orchestra 10
A charming record of this dainty little intermezzo, with vocal chorus and bell solo. The melodious refrain is sung by Mr. Dudley and Mr. Macdonough.
