The article presents information on developments related to the music industry. Columbia's set of Haydn's Symphony No. 104 has arrived, and reveals the anticipated excellences of Thomas Beecham's performance with the London Philharmonic -- his powerful, sharply nuanced phrasing, the orchestra's beautiful playing and impressive sonority. Victor offers a new recording of another superb Haydn symphony, No. 92, made by Bruno Walter with the Paris Conservatory Orchestra -- a performance that treats the music with the warmth and sensitiveness of Walter's own nature, rather than with the sharpness and sparkle of Beecham's, and that in its own way is delightful.
