on a new defense production
act.

News of Music

President and Mrs. Eisenhower,
attending a concert by the Ma
tional Symphony for the first
time last night, heard a per-
formance hard to equal. Be-
sides the orchestral program
planned by Howard Mitchell. in
terest was focused on the local
debut of the successful bass
baritone of the Metropolitan
Opera, George London. who
comes home with the laurels
won this summer in many opera
houses abroad. This most aus
picious opening of the Sym
phony's season filed every seat
in Constitution Hall with an at
tentive and highly appreciative
audience.
Beethoven's Symphony No.
T." not often played by the Ma
tional Symphony, was the first
number, and its serene beauty
was finely emphasized in the
eXcellently devised reading. The
orchestra, for all its lack of the
full complement of players
found in other major groups,

quality of tone in the softer mo-
ments. The tonal restraint and
expressiveneSs of the entire
group was at hand for the trans
parent introduction with its
brooding overtones and held the
surface of the Adagio limpid
and clear except when it re-
flected the clouds that OCCASION
ally disturb its equanimity.
And when the happiness of
Beethoven speaks in the last
movements, not boisteriously
but with charming gaiety. the
orchestra mirrored this mood
with equal felicity. Throughout
DR.. Mitchell introduced in his
reading a wealth of effects,
shaded with subtle understand
ing. This same interpretive skill
was brought to the playing of
Barber's Music for a Scene
from Shelley" and the COM
poSer's overture to 1.-The School
for Scandal" The latter has
been heard here before yet both
works were premiereS for the

The surety and originality of
Barber'S style invested each
work with character. In the mu-
