Washington's little northern
neighbor. Rockville. got its very
own professional concert series
off to a rousing start last night
at Montgomery High School.
where an audience estimated
at about 1000 persons heard
an unusually interesting pro-
gram presented by toj-notch
artists.
The featured artist was the
well-known young American
pianist. Eugene List, a virtuoso
who has lost none Of his wiz
ardry since the exciting days
when he made his debut as a
teen-ager back in the early
l930s and was hailed as one
Of the white hopes Of the con-
cert stage.
Particularly poignant on the
program offered by Mr.. List
and a supporting group Of
string players was the delight
full Shostakovich piano con-
certo in which he made his
first appearance in Phila-
delphia, under the baton Of
Leopold Stokowski. Mr.. List
continues to knock the spots
off the piece in the most en-
gaging fashion. and it Is well
worth hearing.
Another novelty was the
Franz List "Malediction" Con-
certo. a youthful and fiamboy-
ant work which was pub
lished long after the Abbe's
death. I do not recall having
heard a live performance be-
fore last night. 1t proved TO be
las one might expect-rather
immature, but not wit h o u I
flashes of extremely Interest,"
ing writing.
Mr.. Lists orchestral support
was unfortunately q bit on the
spotty side. due primarily to the
fact that the Knickerbocker
Players. all Of whom appear TO
be excellent young instrument
talists. were conductorless. Mr..
List gave them the beat and
away they went. Needless to
say. this was not conducive to
any sort Of orchestral nuance.
and 1t was amazing that they
did as we'll as they did, all
things considered.
II the remainder OF the con-
certs are as good as the one
held last night - and there
doen't seem TO be any reason
why they shouldn't, what with
Edwin Steffe. Marina Svotlova
and wi zetlin scheduled to
Neutrality-suspicious. could
do much worse than take the
short trip TO Rockville for q
fine evening Of music.
