The article presents information on sound recordings. A feature of the composer Amadeus Mozart recordings that calls for mention is the accompanying notes on the music by William Glock, the English critic who wrote richly, perceptive notes for the Webster Aitken performances of Schubert sonatas on EMS records. He exhibits the same perception now, with only one difference-that when he deals with the lesser or uninteresting pieces he claims more for the details he points out than they really deserve. The French were obligated to listen to the opera of a French composer, just as the English had to endure their oratorios, but author Bernard Shaw was "strongly of the opinion that each nation should bear its own burden in this department of life.
