Ormondy's Busy Summer Included
Chat With King of Denmark
By Alice Eversmon

Of Denmark he had a rival as

followed with the score. in the
royal box. After the performance.
he sent for Mr.. and Mrs. Ormandy
to come to his private reception
room where the two conductors
had long discussion about Bruck-
ner and the Fourth Symphony"
The King conducts only privately
but Mr.. Ormandy found him q
brilliant musician.
Everywhere the musicians were
most friendly and cooperative.
The orchestras abroad are excel
lent, he finds, and "have survived
the horrors of war very heroical-
ly." 1t is impossible to make COM
parsons between the American
and European symphonies for there
is a fundamental difference. Here.
the orchestras' personnel is
picked from all nations, while in
Europe, each orchestra consists Of
members Of the particular nation.
Won European Acclaim.
That Mr.. Ormandy knew how to
adjust himself to the varying ma
tional characteristics is reflected
in the reviews. In Paris. one re-
viewer climaxed his writing with
Great Gods-what dynamism he
has, this man who sweeps you of
your feet" and another, in that
hard to- please city, wrote, "The
entire audience. electrified, rose to
its feet to give endless ovations."
In Zurich, such ecstatic ovations
as Ormandy received have not
been experienced here by Others"
Milan said, 'The public applauded
without reserve-something of a
rare occurrence here" And of
the Sibelius program in Helsinki.
the critic wrote. with psyche
logical and fundamentally con-
sistent crescendo, the audience
was carried away with the force
of flaming phantasy and personal
will power"
Back in his villa in Switzerland
for the remainder of the summer.
the conductor applied himself TO
further study of the difficult and
very modern Sixth Symphony"
by William Schuman which he
will present in Washington on
November 20. He included 1t ON
IA Copenhagen program where it
received a surprisingly warm re-
Iception. This was the only Amer
|ican composer listed on the Euro
|pean programs since each city
made its request for what it
wished to hear. Only Copenhagen
asked for something American.
Other works on the conductors
summer study schedule were
Honegger's king David" the
Verdi Requiem" Bartok's Con
Icerto for Orchestra" and Bartok's
Opera, Prince Bluebeard's
Castle" In addition, nearly 80
new compositions were worked on
for future performances by the
Philadelphia Orchestra.
