Shostakovitch Songs

At his all Russian .song recital
Sunday night in the Institute -of
Arts Lecture Hall, Henri Gold-
berg, highly acclaimed baritone,
will introduce selections from a
new group of six Shostakovitch
songs that have never been
heard by an American audience.
Received this week by plane
from New York, where they had
been flown in by air transport
from Russia, these songs in pho-
tographic form from the original
manuscripts, make use of the
poems of Robert Burns and
other English poets set to the
modern harmonics that have
made Shostakovitch the storm
center of modern music.
Other numbers on the pro-
gram' will be drawn from the
operatic and song literature of
Russian composers.
Assisting Mr. Goldberg will be
Arthur Grossman, violinist with
the Detroit Symphony and Rose

record as opposing the Lynch
