This article presents information about musical records which are being sold in the U.S. RCA Victor has issued a set of three records of the Concerto Grosso in an excellent performance by the Curtis Chamber Music Ensemble under Louis Bailly. With this set RCA Victor claims to demonstrate its healthy interest in music by modern composers. Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart's fine Sonata K.332, available in a performance by Ernst Victor Wolff that feminizes and sentimentalizes the music is offered by RCA Victor. There is fine work on xylophone by Red Norvo in his "Rehearsin' for a Nervous Breakdown"; Jack Teagarden's trombone solo in his new deluxe band's "Sheik of Araby" is enjoyable.
