New Recordings

Latest Dance Music. [THE output of records made from songs associated . with talking pictures is now.enormous, and it is difficult to keep track of everything that comes to hand. Most of these songs have been made into dance numbers as well and for the benefit of those who desire something tuneful to guide their stéps the following discs have been culled from this month’s H.M.V. parcel: "One Sweet Kiss," foxtrot with vocal refrain, and "Now I’m in Love," fox-trot, with vocal refrain, played by Gus Arnheim and his orchestra (BAG604); "Lovable and Sweet," fox-trot with vocal refrain, played by Gus Arnheim and his ors, _ chestra, and "My Dream fox-trot with vocal refrain, played by the All Star Orchestra (HA608) ; "True Blue Lou," fox-trot with vocal refrain, played by Ben Pollock and his Park Central Orchestra, and "The Flippity Flop," fox-trot with vocal refrain, played by Coon-Sanders Orchestra (BA 610); "Ain’t Misbehavin’," fox-trot with vocal refrain, played byoLeo Reisman and his. orchestra, and "My Head is Bluer Than Your Eyes," waltz with yocal refrain, played by the Troubadours (HA612). A Re-recording of Grieg. 'THERE is just a tinge of melanchoiy in Grieg’s violin sonata in O minor. The concluding allegio animato has the air of the famous laniscape "Under Winter Sunshine." Perhaps the most authoritative and most poetic reading of the work so far Re Se is that by Fritz Kreisler and Sul&ei Rachmaninoff. The eminént violinist’s tone is perhaps at its loveliest in the elegiae first movement (not for nothing

is the key that of C minor). But one eould go far for phrasing of such perfection as that with which the pianist states the theme of the Allegretto alla Romanza. The whole performance 1S ramaricahle for its balance and glow-

ing expression.
