Mozart's Abduction from

for lost time. 1t has been

ances in unexpected places.
including here. And a new
recording Of 1t has also ar
rived.
The new recording. from
Angel, has Sir Thomas Beech
am at the helm. This may be
enough temptation, for the
Beecham reputation as a MOI
artian is as solid as any rep
utationS in music.
The new "Seraglio" doesn't
dim it at all. In fact it adds
new lustre. 1t also tops other
available recordings.
People have differing opin-
ions Of I'll Seraglio," the Ital-
ian tag Sir Thomas uses for
this German opera. Edward
]. Dent, an English authority,
in book I own calls it "a jum-
BILE of incompatible styles"
with 1.-The worst libretto he
tMozart) ever set to music"
although not a word to this
effect is included in notes Mr..
Dent has contributed to Angels
album. Sir Thomas. on the
other hand, is obviously
charmed with the whole affair.
Notes by the conductor
which Angel does quote are
sprinkled with adjectives like
"rich." wonderful" haunt
ing" and matches" He
also reports having led the
opera more than 200 times, no
mean sign of favor. Sir
Thomas once told me he had
long wanted to make a record
ing of it. so that. considering
how little favor has been
shown to I'll Seraglio' by most
other conductors, one could
well call this a labor of love.
+
! think it well to be frank
about the existence of cooler
opinions. There is considerable
ground to be found for them
merely in comparisons with
Mozart's acknowledged MASTER
works. However much fun
Washingtons ambitious new
opera society managed to make
out of its two-night produce
ton, I'll Seraglio" is dramat-
ically threadbare. If not quite
impossible. 1t was triumph
TO stage it successfully at all.
And a good deal of its music
is long-winded. Mr.. Dent

Tomorrow night Carnegie
Hall will be the scene of the
New York debut of one of the
most talented keyboard players
Washington can call native
son. Albert Fuller. of 2400
Tunlaw road and also of New
York. is an organist and harp
sichordist, and has been a
church musician. Good church
organists and choirmasters
are generally speaking a Curl
Gus and happy lot, for they
usually love their jobs and
like Faust view what facets
of the outside world impinge
on their eyesight with a mix
ture of bewilderment, won-
derment and disdain. Those
that do break away from the
church are often worth watch
ing, for, like Leopold Stokow-
ski, they make spectacular
hereticS.
AL Fuller was a choir boy at
st. Adams. then an organ
pupil of Paul Galloway. 1t was
not the organ, however, but
the harpsichord which had for
him the greatest appeal.
Whether it was the art Of
Wanda Landowska, for whom
he had a violent early enthu-
siasm, the nature of the in
strument itself, or an affinity
to the kind of music charac-
teristic of the great harpsi-
chord composers. is not cer-
tain. but when Ralph Kirk
patrick played here in 1851,
performing the entire Cla-
vierubung Of Bach with Gala
way at the Washington Cath
edral. Fuller met him and
asked to become his pupil.
Entered Yale Music School
Kirkpatrick taught a course
in the music of Bach at Yale,
and accepted only a few pri-
vate pupils in harpsichord. He
was quickly and fortunately
impressed with Fuller both as
an individual and as a musi-
clan, helped him get into the
Yale Music School. and gave
him lessons in harpsichord.
Fuller meanwhile supple-
mented his income by playing
the organ in the Church-on-
the-Green in New Haven, but
his friends could see. and he
himself hoped. that his days
in the organ loft were num-
bered.
The young harpsichordist
developed a phenomenal TECH
nique-one of the best of the
present day. With it were
combined an acute musical
intelligence and a keen desire
to put himself back in the
artistic surroundings OF
Couperin. Rameau. Scarlatti
and Bach. the better to re-
create their music. Fuller
was not and is not a musical
Miniver Chevy. escaping to
an age that is dead. He is
catholic and eclectic, but he is
like most students and few
performers, a classifier. The
most important characteristic
of his musicianship. apart from
the mastery of his instrument
which must be taken for
granted in any first-rate artist,
is his sense Of style and his

French harpsichord music

know and to play, and on
finishing at Yale he was
granted a Ditson Fellowship
to study in Paris. 1t was while
he was there, saturating him.

and the lesser French masters
at the fountainhead of their
art, looking forward to a pre-
carious existence as an I'M
known novice professional
performer, that he got to
know Gregory Smiths of
Georgetown. whom he had
just met prior to leaving the
country. A close friendship
developed, and the Smiths
helped the young artist to the
opportunity for more study and
for appearances before audi
ences.
Returning to the United
States, Fuller played chamber
music and harpsichord con-
tinuo, and gave solo recitals
whenever and wherever he
was extended an invitation.
He played public solo recital
here in his home town for the
first time last year, and made
it evident that he was ready
for a career as one of the most
brilliant harpsichordists be-
fore the public. Tomorrow
New York will hear him.
Fuller takes his debut seri-
ously but not with fright. Il
would hate to think" he says,
that my first New York re-
cital will be the best that /
will ever play there"
