New, Unrivaled, Life-like Are These Victor
Red Seal Recordings
One of the most masterly Victor Records of all time is Bloch's Concerto Grosso, which Fabien Sevitzky and the Philadelphia Chamber String Simfonietta have recorded for release this month. Here is music that vitalizes the powers of the small string orchestra to the utmost; here is a recording that couples high genius with flesh-and-blood reality! To keep it company is a truly inspiring and entirely complete recording of The Pirates of Penzance, performed by the Rupert.... D'Oyly Carts Light Opera Company and Orchestra. Crystal-clear diction, bright and sparkling interpretation, place this album of Victor Records among the best within recent times. There are a large number of other Red Seal Records which you will want to hear and keep forever. You are cordially invited to hear them on our Victor Radio-Electrola..
