are in the nature of elaborate, re- ceptions. Melba is, a particularly strict disciplinarian. But many famous artistes thoroughly enjoy the business of making records. They regard it as a holiday.

"The most difficult cases are per formers who regard recording as a strain. When John McCormack and Kreisler come to the studio we have to keep the place free from people except the recorder."

Other artistes prefer an au- dience.. Pachmann is never at his beat without somebody to listen to him. The same may be anid of Lamond, another famous pianist, and before their pieces both these artistes give talks that are often very interesting.
