Haydn: Symphony No. 98 in B Flat (NBC Symphony Orchestra, Arturo Toscanini conducting; Victor, 7 sides). A great conductor recording first-rate music (which he has not always done recently). The result is a dazzling torrent of melody. Performance: excellent.

Bernstein: Jeremiah Symphony (St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Leonard Bernstein conducting, Nan Merriman, soloist; Victor, 6 sides). The Kid Wonder and a mezzo-soprano destroy Jerusalem. Performance: good.

Milhaud: Protee--Symphonic Suite No. 2 (San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Pierre Monteux conducting; Victor, 6 sides). Protee brought out the Paris riot squad in 1920, and still has bite today. Performance: good.

George Gershwin: Jazz Concert (Eddie Condon and his orchestra; Decca, 8 sides). Condon's guitar gives rhythm to Jack Teagarden's fine trombone, Bobby Hackett's clean, relaxed trumpet and Singer Lee Wiley's blue do on Someone to Watch over Me and The Man I Love. Along for the ride are Condonites Pee Wee Russell, Max Kaminsky, Billy Butterfield and others. Performance: good.
