The article discusses some of the music recordings. The performance of "Ode" with which Russian composer Igor Stravinsky began his night concert with the Boston Symphony in New York, was the sheer delight of the orchestra's refined sonority and sensible execution. It was also interesting to observe the effectiveness of Stravinsky's sharply decisive conducting technique in the precision of the graceful performance. Better done were the charming Concerto in D for strings and the entire superb score for the ballet "Orpheus," all of it interesting to one who could recall the stage action, but some of it apparently boring to others in the audience who could not.
