Gliere's set Of duets Is q coll
lector's item In the sense that
everything in it has been done
before, and better. by other COM
posers. This is assembly-line
music, true to pattern. It's best
function in the program was to
throw into relief the fine qualities
of the Villa-Lobos pieces which
preceded it and the Ravel Sonata
which followed.
The Ravel, in particular, is
great music. It is great Ravel.
Almost nowhere else in his
chamber music does one find
such complete mastery of the
idiom. such clarity and refine
ment Of thought.
The two performing musicians
are first-rate. They played with
ease. with precision, with in
dividual and collective artistry.
The one respect in which the
ensemble might have been i'm
proved was that the forte of the
cello was greater than that of
the violin. I don't say that Olef-
sky played louder than Staples
when they had parts of equal
Importance; what do say is
that when the cello was leading,
1t achieved greater sorority than
did the violin In parallel
passages.

Two works by Harl Mcdonald,
who died recently. were heard.
His "Bataan" is an attempt to
capture with the orchestra the
heroic defense of that stronghold
in World War II. It is program
music, and with a set of program
notes in hand 1t can be followed.
The Rhumba. from his second
symphony, has achieved a GER
tain frequency as a novelty piece.
Both were played acceptably.
Also heard on the program
were the Rosenkavalier Waltzes
of Strauss, which were a little
slow and not def enough to suit
me, an arrangement of the IA
miliar "Jesu. Joy of Mans De-
iring" of Bach, the glorious "Ju-
piter" symphony of Mozart, and
Sir Thomas Beecham's orches-
tration of THE Walk to the
Paradise Garden" of Delius.
1t is understood that Mr.. Wig
ent is to conduct the Arlington
Orchestra again next year. He
has made considerable progress
in improving the ensemble play
ing Of the orchestra in the last
few months, and if he can get
regular attendance at rehearsals
he should have a good season.
