Lovers of the best piano and orchestral music will welcome this month's release of Victor Rod Seal Records. The outstanding features are Schumann's "Carnaval" completely recorded by Rachmaninoff, and a Mozart symphony played by Toscanini and the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra. Both of these pieces have been popular on the respective programs of these artists. Whether or not you have heard their spirited interpretations, you will want to own their records so that you can listen to them again and again. And those who go in for modern opera will be delighted to know of the arrival of an album of records from Debussy's famous "Pelléas et Mélisande." We cordially invite you to call at our store. We will gladly play these or any other Victor recordi for you.
