Shoppers at Dominion Stores will be saving with special's next week on meat, Mendelssohn and Mozart.... mixing groceries and Grieg... beans and Beethoven. That's what the supermarket chain introduces the Funk and Wagnall's Family Library of Great Music, a set of 22 stereo RCA albums with 60 selections by the world's greatest composers. The first album will be available at a record low price of 69 cents, an incredible bargain with today's stereo prices soaring to over seven dollars. Albums 2 through 22, available week by week, will sell for just $2.89 each. Asked why a supermarket chain would go into classical record distribution, Frank Scully, President of Funk and Wagnalls and mastermind of the idea said, "Consumer studies have shown that many families would like to have classical music in their homes but they are intimi- dated in record stores when the clerk demands which piece by which composer they want, by which orchestra and conducted by whom when all they really need is a little guidance along with a guarantee of the finest quality stereo recording". According to Scully the Family Library of Great Music was designed to include the foremost classical com- posers and their most repre- sentative works performed by some of the world's greatest orchestras like London's famous Royal Philharmonic, the Berlin Symphony, the Nuremberg String Orchestra, Philharmonica Hungarica and the ~Banberg Symphony Orchestra. Albums include: Mozart, The Piano Concert in B flat, plus overtures from Cosi Fan Tutte, The Impressario, The Magic Flute, and Don Giovanni; Brahms, The Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat, Chopin's Polonaises, Nocturne, Etudes and Mazurkas; Mendelssohns Italian (Fourth) Symphony and music from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream; Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and Symphony No. 5;Beethoven's Emperor Piano Concerto No. 5 and Coriolanus Overture; Tchaikovsky s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Nutcracker Suite selections; Brahms' Violin Concerto in D major and Hungarian Dances; and Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor and Peer Gynt Suite. Each recording comes with a corresponding folio of the Great Composers, a booklet giving biographical and sociological notes on the composer and his tunes along with program notes on the musical work itself written by the respected music annotator and critic Robert Jacobson, Editor of Opera News. According to Scully, this makes the library an excellent teaching aid for both students and adults to understand and appreciate classical music. "Our advisory board for the original International Edition of this series which incidentally, has been sold in England, Germany, Italy-and Japan, included the late Sir John Barbirolli, dean of English classical conductors; Professor of Music at Oxford University and. the - famed Yehudi Menuhin", says Scully, "and with only one exception, the music on the 22 albums is complete - not short excerpts or selected passages as in other record collections", he adds. ' Scully concedes that thes costs. of publishing and re- cording have been shared over many countries and that large volume sales are what makes the low price of the set possible. To make hi set even more attractive to con- sumers, Scullv is giving away WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1977, PAGE 3 tate Dominion offers the classics It's mainly because of the meat, Mendelssohn and Mozart free a gidstmpedbindr * i consumners will acquire a uttv for classical music in their local Dominion supermarket.
