The most important recording on Columbia's May list is the one of Beethoven's Quartet Op. 127 made by the Budapest Quartet. The work has been available recently only in a characteristically heavy-footed and pedantic performance on Victor records by the Busch Quartet. The Budapest Quartet's performance in the new Columbia set is one of the finest one has heard from this group. Also on Columbia's May list is Borodin's Symphony No. 2 performed by Mitropoulos with the Minneapolis Symphony. The work remains, for one, tunefully inconsequential; but the performance is surprisingly good, and the sound of it on the records is clear, agreeable, and normal.
