Vera Franceschi, heard yester-
day at the Phillips Gallery, is a
young pianist with a well-de-
served national reputation. The
fact that she is to be heard as
guest soloist with the Boston
Symphony no less than four
times during the coming season
can serve as some indication of
the esteem in which her talent
is held.
Miss Franceschi centered her
difficult program around the
Beethoven Moonlight Sonata. To
say the least, this is living dan
gerously. She achieved some-
thing close to a small miracle
with a deeply felt, fresh sounding
reading of the first two move
mentS of the hackneyed MASTER
piece, but in the end the devil

Norris to complain of balance.
for it must have been extremely
difficult for her to Judge her
volume. AS often as not. though.
she simply engulfed the flute. es-
pecially in its fast or low, but
often important passages.
AS nearly as one could judge,
Miss Norris possesses a technique
of much fiuency and power. She
handled the f1eeting moods of
the Chopin Preludes deftly.
There were moments Of sudden
and affecting insight in the
other pieces, too, but the Waltz
never quite left the ground, and
her concern with momentary
niceties tended to obscure the
broader lines and momentum of
the G minor Ballade.
OF the two contemporary
French works that came imme-
diately after intermission, the
Senate en- Concert of jean
Michel Damase suffered by COM
parison with the Milhaud Soma
tine. For all it's stylish pastiche
of cocktail music, bits of Poulenc
and 18th century melodies with
wacky modulations, it's attempts
at brightness seemed pretty
forced. Milhaud, though, has the
high technique that it takes to
pull off light music with real
wit. From the decidedly blue
tinge of it's first movement to
the rather savage breast-beating
in the climaxes, the Sonatine re-
vealS new textures and fresh
sounds all with the completely
natural effect that only the
master craftsman can produce.

Vera Frunceschi Comes Close
But Just Misses Perfection

that Miss Franceschi came close,
but she couldn't quite achieve
perfection.
Even leaving Debussy's Fire
works out of consideration. there
were fireworks galore during the
course of the afternoon. Miss
Franceschi demonstrated to the
hilt that she is a brilliant. if
somewhat erratic. technician.
To this reviewers ear, how
ever, her virtues as a pianist are
found in other aspects of her
art. She is keenly aware Of the
terrific emotional impact of the
true pianissimo and of the re-
strained touch. and it was in the
POLITICALLY realized slow move
ments of the Beethoven and the
Mozart G major sonata which
preceded it where her musical
gifts were most fully revealed.
The Chopin group which ended
the concert was alternately af-
fecting and effective.
The program included deft
first performances of three Span
ish songs and dances by Carlos
Suriniach, pleasant trifles COM
posed in an idiom which seemed
to be a cross between those Of
De Falla and Ravel.
Miss Franceschi Cor. more
properly, DR.. Franceschi, as this
petite and attractive young
woman is the first American to
have been granted the Doctor of
Music degree at Rome's Santa
Cecilia Academy is so nearly
an artist of the first rank that
it is necessary to say that her
second Phillips recital was
something of a disappointment.
despite its many excellences. In

Antonina Bakina made her
Washington debut yesterday af-
ternoon at the YWCA's Barker
Hall in program which leaned
heavily upon light music and old
warhorses. Despite this re-
viewers misgivings as he studied
the bill of fare, the concert
proved neither painful nor bor-
ing, thanks in good measure to
it's brevity and to the accom-
plishments of the soloist.
An unusual feature Of the
recital was the fact that Miss
Bakina showed considerably
more than average competence
in no less than six languages.
This is an achievement of which
better equipped vocalists might
we'll be envious. It did not seem
to be merely a matter of pro-
nouncing words correctly in
English, Italian, Russian, Polish,
French. and Spanish; it was a
demonstration of familiarity
with the languages and with
their particular infections and
unique characteristics. AS re-
suit, the two Chopin songs-for
example-Sparkled charmingly in
the original Polish although they
appear quite nondescript when
sung in English translation.
Miss Bakina's voice, while not
spectacularly beautiful. is wide
ranged and handled with intelli-
gence and sensitivity. Except
for a hard edge in the middle
register. it is even and pleasing
in quality.
The soloist was billed as a
lyric coloratura. True. she did
sing a few standard pieces from
the repertoire. She sang them
creditably, even though she made
somewhat hard work out of it
and stitched on the usual musi-
cal distortions which seem to be
an integral part Of this genre.
Nevertheless, it seems to this re-
viewer that she was more sue
cessful-as well as more at home
with music more suited to the
lyric soprano voice such as the
Poulenc and De Falla songs. It
would be interesting to hear this
