By Alice Eyersmon

Headed by President Truman and
his family in the official box, a
special and distinguished audience
turned out last night for the annual
appearance of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra in Constitution
Hall. This sole visit Of the famous
group is not enough to accommodate
all who wish to hear it. The house
had been sold out for many weeks,
which would indicate that G. G. Cap
pei, under whose auspices the orches-
ira is presented here, could I'LL the
hall for several yearly concerts If the
symphony's schedule permitted. It
could have no more appreciative or
absorbed audience than that which
listened to superbly played pro-
gram under the direction OF DR..
Serge Koussevitzky.
The conductor was never in bet
ter form. The three works that COM
prised the program - ProkoheH's
classical Symphony" Hindemiths
Mathis der Mailer" and Tschaikow-
sky's Symphony No. 6"-offered the
right challenge to his interpretive
powers. There was not q moment
without tense drama or ravishtng
loveliness in his readings or, in more
material terms, any occasion when
his technical grasp OF their delivery
was not arresting. He has created
a different tonal quality to that OF
other symphonic groups, one more
evenly blended and more compact.
With it he can do amazing things,
for it is extremely flexible in con-
tinual undulation of sound verv
necessary for the particular effects
he seeks.
The different sections Of the or
chestra step into the picture at the
appropriate moment and fade out
for the prominence of another group.
This creates not only flashing tonal
colors but a passing prismatic dis
play. When combined with his
knowledge of dynamics, his struc-
tural sense, the poise that keeps an
even spacing of the themes, never
hurrying one on top Of the other,
and. above all. his dramatic vision,
there is formed a splendid inter-
pretive medium.
It's applicability was disclosed IN
the three works. OF these the we'll
filed score of Hindemith's Mathis
der Mailer" was the less familiar, al
though it has been performed twice
by the National Symphony. 1t offers

was buoyant and carefree, with al
most q folk character predominant
ing. The reading was transparent
SO that all of It's grace and charm
was clearly set forth and, because
of the breadth of line and the deli
cate rounding of contours, it ac-
quired serenity and spaciousness.
However. fine the previous per-
fornances, they were overshadowed
by that of Tschaikowsky's Sym
phony No g." Koussevitzky and
Tschaikowsky-a superb combina-
ton. Their is rarely a conductor who
grasps the full import of this music
as does Koussevitzky. He gives it
tremendous forcefulness together
with a heartbreaking pathos. He
times his effects expertly, letting the
significance of each sink in. He
builds them up from a pianissimo
that is a mere breath of sound to
glorious tumult. The two allegro
movements, lovely as they are, con-
tain always the ghost of the des-
pairing emotion Of the first and last
