This article presents information on popular music recordings being sold in the U.S. One of the greatest events of the year 1947 is RCA Victor's recording of excerpts from "Romeo and Juliet" played by Arturo Toscanini and the N.B.C. Symphony and issued both on vinylite and on shellac records. Another of the year's important events is RCA Victor's recording of B minor Mass by Robert Shaw. A pleasant surprise is Columbia's recording of W. A. Mozart's Horn Concerto K. 495, the first two movements of which are largely a flow of lovely Mozartian melody beautifully played by Dennis Brain with the Hallé Orchestra.
