Without attempting a detailed

improvements in the Gallery's

cello and piano, difficult to
achieve under the best circum-

lin how to re-create the original
glory Of q once-great composition
which appears to have been
played to death.
There is a unique glow to
RubinStein's B fiat minor sonata,
for all its waywardness and Ca
price. Those who heard the Rus
sian virtuoso Emil Gilels in the
same work a few weeks ago will
recall that he all but stunned his
listeners with the uncanny accu-
racy and astounding clarity of
his playing. Rubinstein gains
his effects in a different way
with the subtlety Of his transit
tons, the broad and deep con-
lception of the work as a whole.
His Chopin is the poet of the
keyboard reflected through the
mind Of a master pianist who
has lived with this music all his
life; Gilels' is an impetuous,
Enthusiastically brilliant, 70 In G
mans reading.
At the same time. one must
accept RubinStein on his own
terms. His art is Of a different
era. His is a style to which we
are no longer accustomed. His
rubato Is not that which Chopin
specified. the left hand abso-
lutely steady while the right
hand subtly alters the rhythm
Of the melodic line. In his play
ing, both hands bend against
the rhythm. Sometimes, as in
the A fiat Ballade. the result is
a shocking travesty. At other
times, and frequently at that,
the result is COMMUNICATIVE way
he plays it.
Altogether. it was an after
noon to remember. This titan's
70 years rest sweetly and easily
on his shoulders. Rubinstein is
still q musical personality Of
grace, fire, and dignity, and an
artist touched with genius.

Two new choirs have recently
been formed by Lawrence Sears,
organist and choirmaster Of the
Shrine Of the Most Blessed Sac
rament. One is a traditional
church choir of boys and men,
the other q mixed choral So
ciety composed Of profession
and non-professional musicians,
united to present concerts of
Catholic music in Catholic
churches" The two groups
Joined yesterday to give one of
their first concerts in the Cath
ole shrine near Chevy Chase
circle.
It is Mr.. Sears endeavor, he
says. to bring to his church the
tradition Of fine sacred music,
both classic and modern-a ira
dition that has been more in
evidence in the past than it is
at present. He admits that a
church's music cannot be made
over in q moment, but the varied
and interesting concert he gave
yesterday Is o credit to him and
q sign Of the ecclesiastical back
ing he enjoys.
The choirs, sing with spirit
and good vocal quality. They
are too inexperienced to have
yet achieved balance and polish,
but as novices they make IA
vorable showing.
Mr.. Sears included consider
able Gregorian chant, one of the
great glories Of Catholic Church
music, Monteverdi, Hoist, and
Couperin in q program notable
0or me, at least) for perform
