By gathering gramophone enthusiasts together into one society their combined private libraries will become available to all for programmes played at the monthly meeting of the society and also will enable members to exchange fecords, lists of which will be filed by the society, between each other. In addition to the regular monthly meeting the society will encourage members with similar musical interests to form smaller groups meeting to listen to, and hold informal discussions upon, the works which are their special interest. Recordings of value which are unlikely to be purchased for private collections will be bought by the séciety for its own library. The society also intends’ to procure equipment which will give a quality of reproduction beyond that which the average listener can maintain in his own home. At the musical evening to be held by the society this month, four new recordings , will be played. The first work will be Fauré’s Pavane for Chorus _ and Orchestra, recently recorded by the Philharmonia Chorus and Orchestra conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent. This will be followed by Debussy’s littleknown ballet suite Jeux, the choreography of which was created by Nijinski. It is played by the Augustio Rome Orchestra conducted by Sabata. The third item is an American recording of excerpts from the opera Wozzek, a story of tragedy in Vienna, composed by Alban Berg, who was a pupil of Schonberg. To conclude the programme members will hear a new recording of the Brahms First Symphony by Furtwangler and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. x
