"           NEW RECORDS.

     Erica Morini, the young Viennese violinist [... Viotti ... Schubertiana ...].

     The Bruckner Choir of Vienna [sic] sings two works by Alexander Bruckner [sic] (Parlophone), whose works are almost totally unknown in Australia. The "Te Deum" is rather impressive and stirring. The male chorus is heard first, and the sopranos answer with a rather appealing melody. The remainder is chiefly a dialogue between the various parts of the chorus. The prayer sung pianissimo and gradually swelling to a fortissimo, with a corresponding quickening of the tempo, is cleverly conceived and dispels all motions of monotony. The orchestral [su]pport is fine, bringing the singing into bold relief. "Tu Rex Gloriae Christe" is also pervaded by a drastic intensity, made more conspicuous by the exceptionally fine singing of the chorus and the solo parts, and the treatment of the composition is very interesting throughout.
