June Records

Some phonograph records are musical events. Each month TIME notes the noteworthy:*

Symphonic:

De Folia's Nights in the Gardens of Spain by Conductor Ernesto Halffter, Pianist Manuel Navarro and the Orquesta Betica de Camara (Columbia, $4.50)--A Sevillian orchestra, led by a pupil of Composer de Falla, gives soft, authentic color to the three lovely nocturnes.

Richard Strauss's Le Bourgeois Gentil-homme by Conductor Clemens Krauss and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (Victor, $6.50)--A Habsburg turned conductor gives keen edge to music of a rare, satirical cast.

Dvorak's Symphony No. 5 in E Minor by Conductor Erich Kleiber and the Berlin Staatsoper Orchestra (Brunswick, $7.50)--The New York Philharmonic's new man plays the New World Symphony inspired by the Czech composer's three-year stay in the U. S. (1892-95).

Sibelius' En Saga and Valse Triste by Conductor Eugene Goossens and Symphony Orchestra (Victor, 2 records, $1.50 each)--Cincinnati's Britisher takes his turn at translating the increasingly popular Finn. Goossens' language is clear and direct.

Debussy's Nuages and Fetes by Conductor Albert Wolff and the Lamoureux Symphony Orchestra (Brunswick, 2 records, $1 each) -- Debussy's exquisite shimmering colors faithfully reproduced by a leading Paris orchestra.

Light Opera:

H.M.S. Pinafore by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company (Victor, $13.50)--Victor does over the Gilbert & Sullivan opus by the new electrical process.

Violin and Piano:

Brahms's Sonata in G by Violinist Toscha Seidel and Pianist Arthur Loeser (Columbia, $6)--An expert pair plays Brahms in his tenderest, most mellow mood. The recording is excellent.

Songs & Ballads:

"Out of Nowhere" and "Say a Little Prayer for Me" (Columbia)--Ruth Etting takes another blue ribbon.

Dance Records:

"In a Cafe on the Road to Calais" and "Beautiful Love" (Victor)--Ohman & Arden, the Gershwin piano-specialists, prove themselves with a hot Cuban rumba and a conventional waltz.

"Oh, How I Miss You" and "To Whisper, Dear, I Love You" (Brunswick)-- Two good tunes given plenty of pace by the piano in Abe Lyman's California Orchestra.

"Out of Nowhere" and "Yours is My Heart Alone" (Victor). For these two sleekly done Leo Reisman won Victor's Popular Record-of-the-Month award.

"Come to Me" and "If You Haven't Got Love" (Brunswick')--The De Sylva-Brown-Henderson tunes which Gloria Swanson sang in Indiscreet.
