TURNTABLE TALK
CoIIos Dominates
Opero Disc List
BY JAMES G. DEANE
star Record Critic

star Record Critic
Some single vocal records
Of some interest have &C
cumulated in the last several
weeks.
La Callas-no other identi-
fication is needed these days
Is represented by half o dozen
Verdian arias. Helen Traubel,
q diva Of slightly more senior
status, Is heard in q sort Of
commemorative reissue COL
lection, half operate, half
Lehar = Sullivan, etc. Two
other ex-post-facto voices,
Tibbett and Jepson, are
teamed in highlights from a
somewhat unexpected opus,
Porgy and Bess.
There is a Bjoerling recital.
And an accomplished coun-
tertenor, Russell Oberlin,
contributes some unusual
Handel airs.
There Is no question about
which Of the above discs is
the most arresting. Anyone
who has heard Cor seem q
Callas performance will not
be inclined to discount the
Brooklyn-born sopranos at
tention-getting ability. And
the subject matter in this
case is ideal. An entire side
is devoted to arias from
Verdi's Macbeth, some of the
most dramatically intense in
opera.
Callas takes full advantage
Of the opportunity. It is hard
to imagine anyone not hav-
ing to suppress a chill or two
as Lady Macbeth invokes the
spirits of evil and, in due
course, registers the horror
Of her deed. Although the
music (the letter scene and
cavatina of Act l., La luce
langue" Of Act 2, and the
sleepwalking scene of Act ~
Is only a fractional repre-
sentation Of Verdi's neglected
score, the impact is almost
that of an exposure to the
entire opera. One can hope
the latter, with suitable COL
lateral forces, is in the offlng.
An almost equally striking
excerpt from the neglected
Nabucco and two ("Ernani!
Ernani, involami" and Eliza
beth's fourth-act "Tu che lie
vanita") from Ernani and
Don Carlo make the oversize
also worthy of attention. The
disc, relying fundamentally
on the effective support of
Nicola Rescigno and the Phil
harmonic estra, Is
equipped with full texts.
(Angel 35763.)
Neither the heterogeneous
Traubel offering, which pays
a brief compliment to Verdi
with "Salce, salce" from
Otello and a more extended
one to Wagner with excerpts
from Lohengrin and Tam
haueser, nor the 1885 Jepson-
Tibbett Porgy montage. a
vintage affair somewhat ham,
pered by archaic sound, has
the commanding immediacy
Of the CallaS venture.
Both, however, offer USE

It remains a locale for

Is a kind Of extension Of
Shakespeare's own Globe
Theater. Leading to it are
pathways trimmed by street
lamps adorned with baskets
Of flowers. Between acts, GUS
toners wander the grounds,
entertained by a strolling trio

the gallery will be closed
until next January for such
alterations as better lighting
and air conditioning. 1t is
also hoped to have a room
devoted to the permanent
collection the Union has been
acquiring during the last two
years.
A sensation of whirling
movement dominates all Mr..
Moll's paintings. Thin or
thick black circles in various
combinations, and on diff
ferent color grounds, along
with curved black lines sug-
costing friction, add up to
an effective theme, but one
that becomes monotonous
when seen 16 times.
German-born 80 years ago,
Eduardo Moll has lived since
childhood in Peru, Of which
country he is now a citizen.
He studied simultaneously
chemical engineering at the
University of Lima, and art
at the National School of
Fine Arts, subsequently pur-
suing art studies in Europe.
For 8 years he has been ex-
hibiting in group and one
man shows. He founded and
now teaches at an art school
for prisoners at the Lima
Penitentiary. and is a news

There are those who pity
Elvira, a lonely wanderer
from Burgos, searching for
her true love; others think
her q bit crazy and q nym-
phomaniac to boot. Zerlina
does not need Freud to teach
her the joys Of masochism.
and she knows enough about
her lover to suggest the
pleasures Of sadism. This
lover, in turn, is he simply q
dolt, or can some Of the
more interesting insanities Of
mankind be discovered in
him? What about Donna
Anna. that elusive, unsympa-
thetic heroine? Is she cold,

Of her resistance Of his cruel
rape; does she recognize the
truth even when she speaks
1t, and what in Gods name
will become Of her when she
enters the nunnery, believing
she can escape her memories
there?
1t is not only soap opera
that engenders the pro-
pounding of lurid questions,
as the cast and directors Of
the Opera Society's Don
Giovanni are finding out.
Many Of the problems Of q
production of the Don" are,
however, less occult. The
cast is very large. for in adj
dition to the principals there
are three orchestras playing
on stage in the Don's ball
room, merrymaking peas
ants, servants, guests of the
Don, whose party is not SOLE
ly for Zerlina, and whose
masked guests are invited
only at the last minute, and
a number of internal spir-
its. The training Of so large
a cast Ito say nothing Of
costuming it, is an under
taking of no little difficulty.
and there is also an unusual
number of stage sets to de-
sign and construct. The re-
hearsal Of Mozart's music,
with chorus, Soloists and with
orchestra, Is the basic musical
preparation upon which an
opera production rests.
Several of the Opera Soci-
ety's most popular artists
will greet their audiences on
October 1, 3 and 4. Paul CAL
laway, conductor, and James
Waring, lighting and tech
nical adviser, are Washing
tons contribution to the
show, as are also the mem
bers Of the chorus and the
orchestra. The Don himself
will be sung by Ralph Her
bert, the Falstaff Of last
April; Leporello will be DON
aid Gramm, seen here as
Figaro, and Don Alfonso in
"Cosi fan tutte";; the Com
mendatore will be William
Wildermann Of the Met;
Masetto, Richard Keulling,
one of the stars Of Monte
verdi's "Orfeo". Ottavio will
be sung by a young tenor
from Hawaii. Charles K. L.
Davis.
Donna Anna will be Ellen
Fault, the Constanza Of the
Opera Society's "Entfuh-
rung", and the Miss Pinker-
ton in Menotti's opera 1.-THE
Old Maid and the Thief.
Maria di Gerlando, Alice in

The Bjoerling recital is
q partially standard array

excerpts. From a repertoire
standpoint 1t reaches more
distinction when it touches
such fare, however, as Boro-
din'S Prince Igor, in the Act
2 recitative and aria of Vladi-
mir, and the Act 4 Come un
bel di di maggie" from Gior-
dano's Andrea Chenier. Vo-
cally the singing exhibits
some signs Of strain. (RCA

The Oberlin disc will be a
treat for Handelians partly
because of its inclusion Of
ariaS from two of Handel's
many neglected operas. Rode
linda and Radamisto, and
from an act written for a
joint 1871 enterprise with
BuononciD' and Ariosti, fell
low Royal Academicians,
called Muzio Scevola.
The second major attrac-
ton Of the disc, which also
includes music from the
oratorio Israel in Egypt and
from The Messiah ("But who
may abide the day of His
coming?" and How beauti-
full are the feet"). is the
polished singing and playing
by Oberlin, harpsichordist
Albert Fuller and an appro-
priately dimensioned orches-
ira led by Thomas Dunn.
Ones major regret will be
that the further pleasure of
full-scale performances of
Handel's stage works is not
being similarly rendered, but
something in hand is that
much more welcome. (Decca
