You can't fully realize it until you've "tard the correctly proportioned complements of musicians play them correctly at one 'time, and you can now. Fritz Reiner organized and then directed the instruments prescribed by the scores.

The result has to be praised both for the realized Jaeauty of the parts and for the accumulation of an over-all beauty implicit in this simple Bachian addition.

Bach Records Are Numeroils NEW YORK, June 17 (AP) With the 200th anniversary of the death of Bach coming on July 30, there have been more Bach records this Winter and Spring than a reviewer can keep up with. One of the best sets is the six Brandenburg Concert! with Fritz Reiner conducting soloists and chamber group on three large Columbia LPs. Reiner a couple of times seems a little impatient with slow, movements, as if he wanted to go on to something livelier, but this is beautiful music and his soloists are first-rate, among them Leon ard Rose, cello; William Lincer, viola; Rober Bloom, oboe; William Vacchiano, trumpet; and Sylvia Marlowe, harpsichord And many people will think it should be harpsichord, not piano in these compositions.

A second worthwhile set, also 12- inch Columbia is entitled Bach's Royal Instrument. E. Power Biggs, the only organist who seems to matter to the majority of record collectors, plays a dozen selections on the new organ in Boston's Symphony Hall; Among thm are the six Schubler chorale- preludes, the Toccata, Adagio, and Fugue in Major, the Trio Sonatas Nos. 1 in E-flat major and 2 in C-minor, and the major and B-minor prelude-and-fugues.

Guest professor is Dr. Harry Wilson of the Columbia University Teachers College. He welded the 115 voices into a chorus that made its debut last. Thursday at a community sing held here.

Professor Miles Dresskell, camp founder and director, Charles Bowers, and Felix McKernan are conductors. Boys are quartered in Irish Hall, girls in Matthews Hall. In the they blow their horns and practice their vocal scales rigorously. But the college students quartered in dormitories nearby haven't, so far, objected to the tootlings and vocal limberings-up. Maybe it's because these musicians are largely scholarship students.

Expenses to the camp have been paid for talented musicians by numerous civic clubs in various Arizona communities. Monday evening the students will present their final student recital.

During this festival period, it is expected that some of the world's best-known figures in the field of music will attend, according to Thomas Cook and Son travel agency. "Bach spent two formative years, from 1700 to 1702, in Lueneburg where the historic atmosphere and architecture of the medieval Hanseatic town is thought to Mye offered rich stimuli to the then budding composer.

You feel Koussevitzky sees in the Linz all subtlety and suppleness; and you feel he comes out with a result spotted with ness. Nor are Krips' results with the Jupiter entirely beyond reproach, although he achieves of hushed poignancies in suspension and a magically Andante. Just the same, the "-Jupiter has more spine; Krips' Jupiter has a rudimentary vertebra. Anders, tenor is entirely, even xtremely, lyrical.

Some may say it is much too much, zr.d too light too, for some of these arias. Yet he has warmly humanizing and characterizing inflective skills and achieves the feat of elevating Don ttavio from stuffed shirt to authentic human.
