Recorded Music: Chopin Recital on a Platter BY EDWIN H. SCHLOSS GYORGY SANDOR, brilliant young Hungarian pianist and a pupH of the late Bela Bartok, offers a nicely contrasted program of piano music on opposite sides of a 12-inch Columbia LP disk. A Chopin Recital includes the great Pole's Fantasie in Minor, the famous Fantasie Impromptu in Sharp Minor and the Barcarolle in Sharp three pieces rich in Chopinesque magic, and eloquently played. On the obverse, Sandor gives you Beethoven's Pastorale Sonata, Op. 28.

The name Pastorale is not Bee thoven's designation. It was contributed by one of his enterprising publishers, but it's appropriate enough, especially with respect to the idyllic first movement. Sandor gives the sonata an even reading, from the tumbling cadences of the Allegro to the peasant jollity of the final Rondo The slow movement is played with a round, pinging tone and nicely subdued staccato. Surfaces and fidelity are excellent ($4.85.) Other attractive pianism is represented on Columbia's list by Music for Four Pianos. This comes in a three-record (shellac) album and presents a mixed-doubles ensemble of Juilliard School graduates known as the Philharmonic Piano Quartet.

The foursome Ada Kopetz. Bertha Melnik, Max Walmer and John Scales makes a neat and light-handed job of such matters as Lecuona's Andalucia; the Procession from Peter and the Wolf; Strauss' Die Fleder-maus, arranged by Moritz V. Bombard, and an interesting Toccata Guatemala by Morgan-stern. ($4.15.) Credit Vox (Polydor) with another fine contribution to the Burl Ives, noted balladier. who offers a new-collection of folk tunes in his latest recording.

From the makers of the tooth powder exclusively NAMED in Remitter's Digest Amurol in Tooth Paste! Mcensetl hv University of Illinois Foundation jolly, this collection of Ivesory includes such descriptive ditties as On Springfield Mountain, Little Mohee, Troubadour Song, Lord Randall, Bonnie Wee Lassie, Colorado Trail, Roving Gambler and John Hardy. (Columbia. $4.) The following are RCA Victor single seven-inch 45 r.p.m. records selling at $1 each: Overture to the Flying Dutchman (Wagner), Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony offer a fine recording of this turbulent and picturesque example of early Wagnerism. Donna non vivi mat from Manon Lescaut (Puccini) and the Siciliani from Cavalleria Rusticana (Moscagni).

Jussi Bjoerling sings them both beautifully. The comparatively unfamiliar Puccini aria is perhaps the better of the two. The Swan (Saint-Saens) and Caprice (Myronoff). Two arrangements for viola and piano handsomely negotiated by William Primrose with David Sti-mer at the keyboard. A Shepherd, a Dreamer (Rap-paport) and A Dudele.

Jan Peerce gives you two off-the-beaten-track numbers with rich orchestral accompaniments by Warner Bass. recorded chamber music repertory in its new issue of Dvorak's Dumky Trio. This is an LP recording on ona platter, played with fire and distinction by the Trio de Trieste. The Dumky, as you probably know, is a type of Slavic folk tune alternately elegaic and frantically gay in its moods and a favorite with Dvorak. There are six movements in this work (Op.

90), thematically independent, but wrought into an organic whole. This is a fascinating and not too frequently heard score, with its vibrant and harshly accented rhythms contrasted with soothing cantilenas, all admirably set for violin, 'cello and piano. Surfaces and fidelity are excellent. ($5.85.) Sibelian Magic The redoubtable Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have recorded Sibelius' Tapiola for RCA Victor in an envelope package of two 45 r.p.m. seven-inch records.

Tapiola was commissioned by Walter Damrosch, who conducted its first performance in New York a quarter of a century ago. Possibly Sibelius felt it necessary under the circumstances to outdo himself in his own idiom for that occasion. At any rate, here is a lot of Sibelius for your money a characteristic tone poem, evoking the "ancient mysterious savage dreams of Finland's great northern forests and frozen lakes, the majesty and quivering stillness of a ghostly land where "woodsprites weave magic secrets in the moon." Sir Thomas and his players recreate all this Sibelian necromancy with fine imagination and the use of the full tonal resources of a first rate orchestra. ($2.31.) A recent Columbia twelve-inch LP recording presents Di-mitri Mitropolous and the Minneapolis Symphony in Rachmaninoff's The Isle of the Dead and Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Here are two majestically solemn scores eminently suited to the Greek maestro's well known gift for the mystical, and he plays them with reverence and beaucy.

($4.85.) Sentimental swing of a few years back is given fresh familiarity in Tommy Dorsey's treatment of some oldies in the new Victor Smart Set, And the Band Sings, Too. Syncopated singing features Frank Sinatra in East of the Sun, while Jack Leonard does the vocals in Sweet Sue, I'll See You in My Dreams, How Am I to Know? Blue Moon and Yearning. Silkily smooth stuff. ($3.25.) The Return of the Wayfaring Stranger brings back the beloved balladier.
