enduring classics with a

fresh beat

Great classical music has endured for years be-

cause people the world over, regardless of their

background and the depth of their understanding,

respond to beautiful melodies and harmonies. UlIti-

mately, the best-known music has become “popu- lar’ in the contemporary sense. (Editor’s Note: In other words, a pop hit tune.) The bossa nova

(new beat) will endure because we all like a simple repetitive beat whether or not we understand the

complexity of its origin. The bossa nova is a very

popular beat today.

Could Rachmaninoff, Brahms or Tchaikovsky

have envisioned when they wrote their music that some day their melodies would become a part of

the popular culture of other lands? When these

great composers borrowed from the popular and

folk music of their day, did they know that they

were providing material for men to use again in

new ways? Did they know that their melodies would inspire lyricists to turn them into songs—arrangers

to set them in fresh, contemporary instrumenta-

tions—performers to embellish them and impro- vise around them in fresh, new styles? If they were

here today, wouldn't they be pleasantly surprised

to find that most people can sing or hum their

tunes (even though many of these people know their melodies by new names)?

One of the best of today’s arrangers is a man named Marty Gold. His touch with an orchestra is

well known through the many records he’s made.

His affinity for great ballads is nowhere better il-

lustrated than in his recent albumcalled SUDDENLY IT'S SPRINGTIME (LPM /LSP-2882), which Marty ar- ranged for a full string orchestra creating a breath- taking musical experience. (Incidentally, the title

tune in that album is an adaptation of the first

movement theme of Rachmaningyt Ss Second Piano

Concerto.)

In this album, Marty Gold shows how the past

and present can be blended with enchanting re-

sults. He proves that the enduring classics can be freshly interpreted with the most contemporary of

beats, the bossa nova, with no diminution of their

greatness and beauty.

Whether you want to relax and listen in quiet

solitude or dance with your favorite partners, you’l|

find enjoyment in this wonderful combination of melody and rhythm. Marty Gold’s CLASSIC BOSSA

NOVA /s a rare blend. Perhaps it can be considered

a classic in its own time. JACK SOMER

DYNAGROOVE Dynagroove records are the product of RCA Victor’s newly developed system of recording which provides a spectacular improvement in the sound quality.

CHARACTERISTICS:

1. Brilliance and clarity —the origi-

nal sound in startling definition

2. Realistic presence—sound projéct-

ed in “photesraphic”’ perspective

3. Full-bodied tone—even when you listen at low level

4. Surface noise virtually eliminated !

5. Inner-groove disteriion virtually

eliminated {

To solve these old and obstinate problems in disc recording, highly ingenious computers—‘‘electronic brains’’—have been introduced to audio for the first time. These re- markable new electronic devices and processes grew out of an intense research program which produced notable advances in virtually every step of the recording science.

The final test of any record is in the listening—compare the sound of Dynagroove recordings!

Dynagroove recordings are mastered

on RCA Magnetic Tape.
