Rut these are very slight blemishes on an achievement of very high rank indeed. Walter Giescking's Debussy was considered fabulous in his lifetime. Though recorded in the early 1950's, his accounts of Books I and II of the Preludes, the Children's Corner Suite arrd the Suite Bergamasque are still sheer tonal magic in their evocation of the shifting tints and images of Debussy's aural impressions (Odyssey 32 3fi 0021 The mono pound has not been tampered with. Do you like luscious tunes? Brilliant piano acrobatics? Great elegance in performance? The manners and air of a more spacious and gracious time? If your answer is "yes," jou'll love Earl Wild's performance of Xaver Seharwenka's Concerto No. 1 in IJ-flat minor with (he Boston Symohony Orchestra under Erich Lcinsdorf (RCA LKC-30S0).

And his solo perlormance shares a disk (MRS-2) with Schoenberg's Suite (Op. 29), and it is enlightening to hear how similar in some respects is the approach in both works. In Schoenberg's Serenade (Op. 24), also conducted by Kirschner, we have serenade done as a comfortable, ingratiating piece, with none of the purposely abrasive attacks and stiff avoidance of subtlety that some musicians feel represent a genuine Schoenberg style. Joining the serenade on this disk (MRS-3) is Schubert's Introduction and Variations (Op.

KiO) for piano (Serkin) and flute (Paula Sylvester). The Schubert Variations, on his song "Trockne lumen," throw a stiff challenge at Miss Sylvester's virtuosity and she handles it superbly, even when the writing takes a wildly llorid turn. road courtesy parking in front jrienJi come to 4 mtf By LOUIS NICHOLAS Charles Rosen is a scholar of high attainments as well as an exceptionally well-equipped pianist.

The sonatas are played by Rudolf Serkin, piano; Pina Carmirelli, violin, and David Cole, cello. They discover surprising substance in these early pieces without inflating them beyond their pretensions.

Except for one performance, of Boccherini's Quintet in Minor (Op. 42, No. i), which was recorded in Columbia's east side studios the everything on the first four Marlboro recording society disks originated at the festival. Most of the performances were recorded live, although two chamber works of Schoenberg, conducted by Leon Kirschner, were put on tape after concerts.

i By DONALD HENAHAN Tht New York Tirnw Newt Servic NEW YORK, Jan 10 When grizzled record collectors converse, the name-dropping byplay can get a trifle estoeric, even when they go no further back in history than the long-play era. Minor labels, since the start of the LP period in 1948, have contributed enormously keeping the commercial monsters in touch with the needs and wants of the musical audience. Bach Guild, Soria, Haydn Society, Bartok and a hundred others prowled in paths that less-specialized labels later found it profitable to follow. Many of the brave little adventurers paid for their success, of course, by ending up in the belly of the whale, swallowed by larger companies. Now we see what may be a new phenomenon: the partial splitting off from the mother cell, as by sporifica-tion, of a group that has been recording for one of the giant labels.

Rudolf Serkin and his fellow artists of the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, who have issued 15 disks in the "Music From Marlboro" series under the Columbia imprint, now have gone into business for themselves. They will continue to put out a couple of records a year for Columbia, but also will offer by mail order only and on a nonprofit basis a new series of stereo-disks on the Allen, graduating Cum Laude, and with departmental honors. Shs won competitive scholarships at the Oherlin Conservatory of Music, studying with the Conservatory Pi Dr. Frank Shaw, and later with John Elvin. In New York City she studied with Ray Lev.

She has loured widely, including a Carribean tour in 1955 during which she played for heads of state in Kingston, Jamaica; the Virgin Islands; and Port-au-P i Haiti, where she gave a command performance before President and Mrs. Paul Magloire. During 15 years as accompanist and piano soloist with BERNADETTE GREEVY, Irish contralto sings for Community Concert members Sunday. January 18, at 2:30 p.m. Marlboro Recording Society Label.

Mischa Schneider is artistic director of the project. The disks are available at $6.50 each, including postage and handling, from the Marlboro Recording Society, 1430 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, 19102. Frank Salomon, one of the Vermont festival's managers who is helping to administer the new project, says the society merely hopes to supplement the Columbia disks, and will not be in direct competition with the parent company. A work will be recorded only "if the musicians like the way a performance went, and if they feel it can be an addition to the catalogue." The first release of four disks, containing nine works, offers little that can be considered standard repertory, although several items are masterpieces and all are well known in specialized circles. The Brahms Serenade in A (Op.

lfi), with Pablo Casals conducting, leads off (MRS-1), in a performance that typifies the Marlboro style: intimate, loving and intensely songful. On the same disk are two works composed by Mozart at the age of 7, the Sonatas in A (K. 12) and (K. 13). Although usually listed as being for violin and piano, the sonatas are heard here with an ad lib cello part, following the trio-sonata practice of the 13lh century.

The store doesn't worry too much about all this hanky-panky because "now she feels she's made $11 and will no doubt spend her ill-gotten gain, and more besides, at the store." According to statistics, a customer buys five times the amount he'd planned to spend when he comes to the store. FRIGHTENING thought! 1 must learn to control my "splurge buying" syndrome." However, on the subject of sales, Macy's says that 80' of what they sell isn't advertised or specially priced. Harvey's store has noted one phenomenon that doesn't happen every day during sales but happens regularly, hot weather or cold. LADIES faint. "We don't know what's the cause but we have theories.

We think the ladies rush to get the husband and kiddies out of the house. They skip breakfast. They rush to town and from store to store to take advantage of the bargains and skip lunch. Around two o'clock they begin falling out, usually when they come in from the cold to the heated store or from the heat to the air conditioning. "The clerks near the doors have learned to watch for fainting symptoms and will lead the ladies to the cosmetic counter where there is a place for them to sit and we keep a bottle of smelling salts.

Besides it's such a pleasant place to regain consciousness, all those heavenly scents." Doubtless, the ladies would rather see "Chanel No. 5, V2 price today."

She may use some of it at the sales after Thanksgiving but generally the customers' best buys are at the January sales. "SAY SHE has a $1,000 mark down budget. She wants to clear away as much of the old stock as possible to get ready for spring. It's up to her.

She could sell one item for $1000 or reduce a 1,000 items to a $1, which is more than likely what she'd do, and the customers are the ones who benefit." During sales, stores are sometimes victimized but they are generally aware of it.
