La Giralda — Marche Andalouse (Juarranz) Bose Orchestra 10
A famous old Spanish march, some of the melodies of which have been freely borrowed of late for various French marches, such as “Sorella.”
The record is a very loud one, and is quite interesting as an example of the playing of a well-known organization of Paris, the Orchestre Bose. The record was made in Pans.
Lohengrin — Prelude (Wagner) La Scala Orchestra 12
This famous prelude, one of the most beautiful of all Wagner’s com¬ positions, symbolizes the descent from heaven of a group of angels beanng the Holy Grail.
The performance of this wonderful prelude, which is written almost wholly for strings, shows why this organization has become famous for the exquisite playing of its string section.

31380 Merry Wives of Windsor Overture Pryor’s Orchestra 12
Otto Nicolai (1810-1 849) composed several operas, but is remembered only by his “Merry Wives of Windsor,” and especially its bright and melodious overture. It begins with a sustained note by strings, which is held while a beautiful melody, typical of the forest depths, is played suc¬ cessively by the ’cello, viola and flute, the trumpets meanwhile softly sounding the hunting calls, which seem to echo through the forest. The allegro contains some beautiful music, and a spirited finale brings the record to a brilliant close.
