New Symphony Orchestra Entered from flyer and review. Flyer lists a work by Charles Griffes among the selections to be performed, but since flyer notes that the announced program was tentative, and review does not mention the Griffes work, it has not been recorded here. According to Malcolm Gillies, this performance of "Two Pictures" was probably the first orchestral work of Bartók to be performed in the United States.
