Concert BY Two
Pianisfs Wins
Critics Praise

Framed by an artisucally ar
ranged floral background, two St.
Paul artists, Arlee Harris Halo
well and Harriet Bell Smith.
gowned in similar white net for
mails, elaborated to present an
evening of easy listening, haunt
ing and pleasant harmonies com
mensurate TO their setting.
To a very anticipatory audience
(which atmosphere pervaded the
entire recitaD these duo pianists
gave very commendable perfor-
mances of compositions embrac-
ing the periods from Bach, Han
del to Litz to the most modern.
The program consisted Of one
and two piano numbers with an
interchange of positions in the one
piano selections to show that each
artist had ample knowledge and
technical facility Of her instru-
ment to bring out the potentials
of its complete range
Programming is a keynote to
the success of any evening. This
was deity done with numbers
chosen because of their popular
appeal and those which satisfied
the more serious taste, The less
rhythmical uncomplicated ones
like Alice Blue Gown" and Tn
dian Love Calr' showed the use of
"esthetic anathema" with such
expertness that they appeared
smart" and sophisticated.
The more profound classics
were done with strict adherence
and there seemed to be an earnest
seeking to present note-true, just
as they were conceived and writ
ten by the composer. Only once
or twice were there divergence in
the originals.
In Malaguena," the pianists
captured all the fire, spirit, and
Latin-American rhythm Of these
people. It gave a good picture of
the genius and versatility of the
composer.
Most of the selections were two
piano arrangements. To me they
seem to give a better penetration
into the significance and beauties
of the number, which one does not
always get when heard as a solo.
To attest the styleful interpre-
tation and unsteady satisfying ex-
ecution of these outstanding per
formers, a very appreciative and
sensitive audience demanded three
encores. Music lovers, I'm sure.
will be looking forward with
great eagerness to future presen-
tation of these artists.
