Columbia has issued musician John Brahms's Second Symphony in the performance of the London Philharmonic. The companies are now getting an extraordinary amount of an orchestra's performance into the record and one has to be sure that their phonograph is able to get all of it out again. Some of it can be stopped by the pick-up, or by the amplification system, or by the speaker. And from experience with this Columbia set, it can be stopped by the needle. It can be suspect that the symphony was recorded with a reduced number of violins.
