THE WIRELESS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, conducted by HOWARD CARR .
EDWARD ISAACS (Solo Pianoforte)
SOME light pieces, mostly for Piano, were practically all that Rossini composed in the second half of his life. Respighi, one of Rossini's countrymen of a later day, put some of these together and made them into the music for the piece called The Eccentric Toyshop, with which the Russian Ballet has so often delighted us.
The dolls in a toyshop come to life at night, and dance — Cossack Dances, the Polish Mazurka, an Italian Tarantella, a Waltz, and other charming steps.
