T HIS comic opera, which contains some first-rate music, was originally produced in Leipzig, and recently arrived

in London at the Whitney Theatre. via New York. The first selection contains an exceptionally pretty waltz, and a charming cantabile movement ; and the second, which is full of vivacity, also gives a further attractive waltz number. "Baron Trenck" is rich in melody and very cleverly scored, while the music is of a kind that will bear repeated hearing, since the ear does not tire of it in a hurry. (Speed 8I.)

T HIS quickstep is notable on account of the use of the jovial old

German song " Drinking" in the second half-hence the title. The beginning of the March is bright and unflagging, while the famous German drinking song is splendidly given on the

trombones, accompanied by some pretty running passages on the wood- wind, the number being of more than ordinary interest. (Steed 81.)

His songs were exceptionally musical, and this one, like his more famous example "The Message," was sung by the late Sims Reeves. Mr. John Harrison gives a robust and spirited opening to the serenade, modulating his tones on the phrase"

My knees are bowed, my hands are clasped in prayer,"

into a perfect expression of a lover's true devotion. The use of the nie_sa-zoce on the last "Good-night" is skilful and very beautiful. Altogether an excellent performance of Blumenthal's splendid tenor song. (Speed 81.)

T HIS song gains considerably by its

performance at the hand of this fine baritone. The story of the rival Admirals, Van Tromp with

the ensign of the Broom, and Drake with his whip at the fore, is told with a fire and a spirit which recalls the days of these fine old sea dogs. This verve and spirit soon comes out in the words :-

" And as he paced his quarter-deck And looked on the misty tide,

He saw Old England like a speck, And he shook his fist and cried."

And this excellent style is sustained to the end. A fine bluff performance of the o'd sea yarn. (Seed 80.)

mentalists as " Handel's Largo." The short

recitative beginning-

is in the master's finest declamatory style, and is splendidly delivered

is one of the divinest melodies ever breathed by this great composer. The low pitch of the leading phrase lends itself to the display of the deep tones of Edna Thornton's lower register, while the " rar"a eel amabile" brings into play the singer's thrilling upper notes. The rich legato by which the phrases are bound together being another sterling feature of this exceptionally fine performance, which is one of the best

ever recorded of Madame Edna Thornton. (Speed 80.)

The fresh- ness and beauty of Mr. Edward Lloyd's upper register may well be a surprise to many. The Anthem concludes with Luther's well-known Chorale, " A stronghold sure."

MR. JOHN LEMMONE. 12-inch (Black Label), 5s. 6d.

Wind amongst the trees (Briccial«'i)

S o novel and at the same time so artistic a flute solo has perhaps not been issued upon a record before. The "Wind amongst the trees" is first suggested by some free

chromatic running passages not unlike the opening of Mendelssohn's ` Bees' Wedding." These are heard at all portions of the flute's compass, excellent use being made of the soft lower register of the instrument. The centre of the composition consists of a charming slow melody, and in the variations which follow the flute takes both melody and accompanimental passages together. The

short runs descriptive of the wind now take on a wild and stormy character, and finally the whole closes in a brilliant manner. This is a superb performance and something altogether new, and played with both brilliance and delicacy of tone. (Speed 81.)

T HERE are few things more interesting than a London crowd,

and this record gives a representation of the drama enacted by

a typical Coronation crowd upon such an occasion as that of the King's Progress through the streets of London. We hear

the bands playing and the people shouting ; the questions of strangers and the replies given ; the good-humoured chaff bandied about from

one to the other ; and note the distress of the lady who will not take her hat off. As the procession arrives some of the figures come in for

a share of attention, until finally the arrival of His Majesty the King in person is the signal for the deafening cheers of the multitude. A

scene of this kind has not been recorded so elaborately before, or with such emphatic success ; it is certainly worthy of the occasion.
