Abstract: The article presents information about several musical records. Mercury has issued a set of Tchaikovsky's Overture "1812" recorded by Mengelberg with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1942 for Telefunken. Mozart's Piano Quartet G. minor has been recorded for Columbia by George Szell and Messrs. The work is not one of Mozart's greatest, but has its wonderful moments; the warmth, grace, and sensitiveness of the string playing are in striking contrast with the cold, brittle rattling off of the piano part.
