The % women pianists who
form the Philadelphia Piano Or
chestra, playing on IL pianos,
we're presented in a program last
night in the Lisner Auditorium,
directed by Carle Knisley, founder
of the organization. When the
orchestra first appeared here,
some five years ago, the novelty
of an attempt to approximate a
symphonic volume and color with
a number of pianos was an attrac-
ton in itself. Bearing no revolu-
tionary consequences, the novelty
part has worn of and the group
appears as an enlargement and
expansion of what was once the
popular pastime Of four-handeo
piano playing.
To add a bit of showmanship
to the performance, the pianists
were gowned in Colonial costumes
for the first part Of the program,
the conductor himself in knee
breeches, embroidered blue velvet
coat and white wig. The pianos,
most of them of the old-fashioned
square type, were painted grey
with two exceptions. One modern
grand was used for the soloists
and leader and the other placed
in the background. After the in
termission, alternate yellow and
black evening dresses were donned
by the women. with DR.. Knisley
In formal attire.
This all followed the pattern
made known at the local debut
and the program contained many
Of the same numbers. If there is
more coherency and general Sc
curity in the performance now.
1t still is not up to the expected
artistic level. Some shadings were
employed. but the range was not
wide. The paramount need OF
synchronization among the % per-
formers hampered flexibility and
resulted in metronomic playing.
Even so, chords were struck un-
evenly and the ensemble was
never so smooth as its orchestral
counterpart.
The arrangements for this COM
bination of pianos are OF scant
establishment TO work such as
Beethoven'S "Moonlight" Sonata,
where the leading piano had the
gist Of the composition anyway.
They served better in the Liszt
Hungarian Fantasy" with Mar
garet Nichols as soloist, and the
Saint-Saens Concerto in G
Minor" played by Evelyn Berg.
Both these young women have
technical proficiency. The lack of
warmth and sorority of tone in
the group and the rigidity of the
performance permitted only su-
perf1cial effects.
