The Mikado recording issued by RCA Senior Victor features Isidore Godfrey conducting the Symphon Orchestra in England with a cast including Martyn Green Darrell Fancourt Derek Graham Brence Benream and Sydney Granville.

Albert Hirsh’s concert at Town Hall last Tuesday featured a technically capable display but lacked musical color and Mozartian style. The program opened with Handel’s Chaconne, where interpretation relied on the artist rather than the composer, and his Mozart F major Sonata failed to capture Mozartian character. In the second group he impressed with Debussy and Ravel pieces, and a Grieg sonata, delivering forceful, convincing readings. The finale included varied items, including a prelude by Tedesco dedicated to Hirsh.
