Turntoble Talk
More Than Competent
Remote TeboIdi Lends Her Usual
Excellence to Andrea Chenier'
Turntoble Talk
By Jones G. Deone

The presence Of Renata Te-
baldi In an opera performance
generally gives assurance Of
at least one role filled with
more than ordinary compe-
tence.
Her Maddalena in Umberto
Giordano's drama Of the
French revolution, Andrea
Chenier, is no exception. "An-
drea Chenier." while it has nei-
ther the blood-and- thunder
intensity Of Verdi nor the melt
ing melodies of Puccini, is both
tuneful and dramatic enough
to deserve more hearings than
it gets. And the accuracy,
dramatic secureness and rich
tonal quality Of the Tebaldi
voice contribute substantially
toward making the new Cetra-
Capitol recording a production
Of interest.
The tenor who sings the part
Of Chenier has the harder
work to do. though. Cetra's
Chenier, Jose Soler, manages
quite well in getting across the
. picture Of the imprisoned
poet. but vocally his efforts
leave something to be desired.
Frequently he seems to be
straining, and sometimes he
doesn't sound precisely on
pitch.
Sensitive Conducting
The other roles are we'll

cially Ugo Savarese's portrayal

with an acceptable recording

be heard often enough to wear
out its welcome soon. The
order of execution requisite to

indulgence is above the ordi-
nary, however. And the
crucial figure. of course. is
Lucy herself.
The Lucy of the recent
Urania set, in an otherwise
Italian cast. is a young Phila-
delphian named Dolores Will
son. She has a pretty voice
and good technique. but her
Lucy is not yet as unstudied
as she should be.
At Least Adequate
What this Lucy lacks in
subtleties is far exceeded.
however. by the stiff Edgar of
Gianni Poggi, whose loud
vocalizing rarely induces much
aural pleasure. Anselmo Col
Zanis resonant baritone serves
the role of Henry Ashton
much better, and the rest of
the singers are at least ade-
quate. Franco Capuana. the
conductor, maintains a fairly
lively pace. although without
always securing the precision
he should. And the repro
duction is quite good. But
this Lucia" is hardly historic.
Not having heard the new
Lucia sung for Angel by Maria
Callas, the excellent Elvira
of Il Puritani." I am not pre-
pared to make comparisons.
Another Callas effort we'll
worth attention, however. is

las Gioconda, which I have
just lately got around to lis

passion and style, far more
spectacularly than that of
Miriam Pirazzini in a COM

Barbieri. Paolo Silveri and
an otherwise generally good

liability. oddly enough. is the
same as the Urania "Lucia's"
the presence of Poggi in
the tenor lead. Another liza
bility is some shrillness in the
recording. The Urania Clio

much less exciting. has a
considerable advantage on the
score of reproduction. It's too
bad all advantages can't al
ways be united.

Dollar Gap Narrower
Than In Postwar Years

For many years, and
especially since World War
II, the United States has ex-
ported much more than it
has imported. This surplus
is what is Familiarity known
as the dollar gap. Actually
the dollar gap represents our
economic surplus with much
of the rest of the world, and
in the same manner, it repre-
sents their deficit with us.
The dollar gap-was at it's
height of $11.5 billion in the
postwar year of 1947. From
1916 through 1949 the an
nual gap never fell below
about $612 billion. One reas-
on for this extreme dollar
gap in the immediate post
war years was the wartime

amount of goods available

years, there has been a SUBJ
stantial reduction in the dol
lar gap. During 1853 the gap
amounted to about SAT- bill
lion, and if one subtracts
military aid Of about $4.3
billion from this figure, the
actual excess of commercial
exports over imports would
be only about $500 million.
1t would seem logical to elm
mate military aid from our
exports statistics and should
not be considered a CONNER
cial export in the strict sense
of the term.
Among the reasons for the
narrowing of the dollar gap
are the increase in produc-
ton in Western Europe and
the attempt by some foreign
countries TO improve theil
international position by i'm
posing restrictions on i'm,

States.

A historic anniversary this year
adds new meaning, new cause for
rejoicing, new inspiration and
new hope to our traditional Rosh
Hashonah prayer. In the cool
crisp of just such a High Holy
day season three centuries ago,
the first of our people crossed the
stern Atlantic to pioneer in the
wilderness that was then Amer
lea.
AS we gather in our synagogues
to celebrate the New Year Sis
we mark with pride and jubila-
ton the tercentennial of Jewish
settlement in the United States.
We salute the courage, the faith
and the vision of the splendid pio-
neers whose arrival in New Am

follow in the footsteps of the
founding fathers who saw in the
prophetic insiStence on justice
and right the superiority Of divine
law and the instruments by which
men might best rule themselves.
May American Jewry, which
has contributed so much to the
religious, economic and cultural
development of our nation, con-
tinue in this proud and mutually
fructifying partnership to "pro-
claim liberty throughout all the
land to all the inhabitants there
of"
In the same spirit, we pray at
this solemn season that the New
Year may bring peace, blessed
peace, to our brethren in Israel,
those modern Jewish pioneers,
who, inspired by prophetic vision
and strengthened by indestruct-
ible spiritual conviction, toll
against incredible odds to reclaim
the wilderness in the Holy Land.
And we pray that the blessings
of peace may extend not only to
Israel but to all the children of
man in all lands and all climates
during the year that lies ahead.
