SO great that many sections are
apt to sound like mass gargling
to ward of a sore throat.
The fact that the music is
more than two centuries old
raises questions of tempo, phras-
ing. embellishments and other
stylistic matters.
The grave introduction Of the
overture was too fast, while the
pastoral symphony and the
wonderful siciliano movement to
the words, "TIe shall feed his
flock like a shepherd" were
dreadfully slow.
Nevertheless, the performance
was successful. The chorus sang
with a will, the soloists were
adequate, and the orchestra was
quite competent. Moments Of
rare beauty were furnished by
Stuart Vale, tenor, and by the

Bortok Sonata Wins

at the Phillips Gallery was made

century composers. One of these
was given its first performance
The playing was quite salts
factory but a major drawback
was the inadequate size of the
harpsichord.
This was most painfully evil
dent in the Bach Sonata, whose
keyboard part is essentially two
melodic lines, mingling equally
with a third part, played by the
violin. The harpsichord was toe
nearly inaudible to be an ade-
quate accompaniment, much less
an equal partner.
Mozart's Sonata in A farce

ture in the keyboard part ano
an idiom which places less en-

the two instruments.
The premiere Of the afternoon
was the Paris Sonata. Except
for its picturesque scherzo, it is
a work characterized by calm
llyricism. AS is often the case

Both modern composers took
notice of the Baroque heritage
of the harpsichord. Paris VAR
iations on Ground is conceived
in terms of a popular 18th CEN
tury form and the Adagio OF
Piston's Sonata is a veritable
translation of a Bach slow move
ment into the harmonic Ian
guage of the goth century.

eclectic as the performance
mediums were unusual ir
lchurch. In various groupings
performers included harpsichorc
and string quartet, in addition to
Iorgan, chorus and vocal soloists
Gerald Finzi's Magnificent is
typical Of much British music in
that its warm, melodic and har-
monte styles are wellcut and per-
lfectly tailored for choral voices,
with just enough polite tinges
of the Goth century to pay token
to it's time.
Finzi'S skill with voices is not
matched by a sense of proper
ton or by the imaginative dra-
matte urgency of his fellow
Icountryman. Henry Purcell,
whose Behold, / Bring You
Glad Tidings" followed. Pur-
cells writing stamps every bright
vocal line, every new and sur
Iprising texture and change of
pace with the freshness but in
levitability of great genius.
Alessandro Scarlatti's solo
Icantata per La Nativita" was
sung by soprano Katharine Han
sci, with harpsichord and string
quartet. The exceedingly ford
and difficult music was sung
with sensitivity to the style but
with evidence of vocal strain
under its cruel demands.
In the Finzi Magnificent, the
Purcell anthem and even more
clearly in the final cantata of
Buxtehude. the Chancel Choir
demonstrated choral singing of
high order under its director.

Much of Mr.. Foldes' large re-
Iputation has been achieved as
an interpreter Of Bartok's music
and from yesterdays concert il
is easy to understand why it is
so considerable. Under this pi.
anist's strong fingers, the cleo
trio rhythms of the Hungarian
master spring Into life, and one
wonders why his music failed ia
make its way during his lifetime
The playing of the sonata and
the eight little Bartok miniatures
which preceded it was completely
Authoritative and completely
Satisfying.
| Unfortunately, the same can
mot be said of Mr.. Foldes' ven
lures into the standard roper
|toire. The Chromatic Fantasy
and Fugue with which he began
his recital was remarkably rapid
and blurry, while the lovely
Beethoven E major sonata oscil-
lated between whimsy and way
wardness of Interpretation.
Most successfully projected Of
the standard works was. Schu-
mann's early Papillons, a difficult
piece but a most rewarding one
when properly played. Here one
felt that the artist had finally
conquered the treacherously live
acoustics of the Gallery for the
first time, and had achieved that
grace of expression of which he
is capable.
Mr.. Foldes ended the evening
with his own opulent arrange
ment of three excerpts from Zol-
tan Kodaly's tuneful opera,
Harry Janos."
