NOTES. A special and welcome feature of these recowfe is the introduction of a now and mysterious musical combination called the Black Diamonds. This excellent body of intr¡.I.111en taliss.ts have made some splendid records of wonderful dis- tinctness and tonal beauty. The snap and vigour of their perfcrmanoes remind Olle of Sousa-'s Band, but the former have a more mellow tone. The Black Dia.monds have made an ex- cellent debut, and evidently have a future before them. Tho Coldstreams are again to the foro with some fino records, the rich tone of this famous band being meet effective. Some delight- ful silver-toned bell effects are heard, particu- larly in "Los Pa-tinours," and "Carillonneur," tho former especially being certainly the moat beautiful bell record "va have ever hoard. The Royal Artillery and Bohemian Orchestra con- tribute several pretty records: the "Blue Danube Waltz" and tho "Haunting Barcarolle" from Offenbach's fantastic opera. It is said that this famous composer was the Arthur Sullivan of his day, and the tender charm of his melody is undeniable. Mr John Coates, Mr Evan Williams, Mr John Harrison, Mr Radford, Mr Ernest Pike, a.nd Mr Stanley Kirby contribute some notable songs, and the vocal selection is unusually strong. "Tho Bailiff's Daughter of Islington" is a swee' English ballad, of tho Old English type, and beautifully rendered with orchestral acoompaT.i ment. by Mr Pike. "In Cellar Cool," by Mr Radford, is another exoollent reoord. Tho ver- satility of Mr Coates M again well proven, his magnificent tenor voice being specially heard to advantage in his feohengrin songs. He is a i-are artiste, and his records, 8CUliko "hot oaaces." The December list includes a notable red label record by Sig. Gogorza. This setting of "God my Father" belongs to the grand type of sacred music familiar in this country in the works of Gounod or Rossini. The eolo is sung in Eng- lish, thus enalbling the listener to better appre- ciate tho qualities of Sig. superb bari- ton9 voice. The record, we are told, was re- ceived with great enthusiasm at the Lord Mayor's oonoert, in tho Royal Albert Hall, and the mojiner in which the voice stood above even the full organ was astounding. The violin pieces of Mischa Elman shows the exquisite art. of this remarkable player at ils finest Tho "Swing Song" gem is a.n exceedingly beautiful reoord, and is played with finished art and tenderness of feet- ing. Mr Harry Lauder is at his best in "She is my Daisy," one of his favourite pieces. Another fine record is "I've something in the bottle for the morning;" his articulation and brogue is so distinct. Mr Oily Oakley Is. always. welcome and judging by the great humour Mies Ada Jones imparts into her song "Poor John," we predict also a great popularity for this artiste. The- reoord is one of the best things from the other side of th Atlantic we have had for some time. The quartettes and duetts are pretty and already command a large sale. LOCAL AGENTS.
