BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Record Critic

A year ago it was this
columns pleasure to call at
tention to a new Bruno WAL
ter recording of Beethoven's
pastoral symphony as "a
fresh breeze passing over a
familiar landscape"
The landscape has now
broadened to embrace the
full roster Of the Beethoven
symphonies, re-recorded and
reissued by Columbia in a
consolidated tribute to this
grand patriarch of the Euro
pean tradition, a fitting one
since, as Columbia notes. the
man and the music have
been associated for a generous
lifetime Of Sc years, two
thirds Of a century.
DR.. Walters way with
Beethoven, as with the music
Of the other composers whom
he has held dear, is the way
of demonstrable affection, of
warm and rich and spacious
sound, of lingering somewhat
over delicious detail and of a
serenity that ACQUIRES through
SO birthdays despite inter-
vening vicciSsitudes. The i'm
petuosity of a Sell or Parary,
the finely balanced hair-trig-
ger tension of a Toscanini are
rejected for a kind of pervad-
ing sunset glow. Whatever
ones other loyalties, it is a
glow that compels a recipro-
Gated affection.

Dubuffet is in q class by
himself. His paintings are
representational as are q
child's drawings. His admirers
call him "gentleI childlike,
primitive" But his appeal
eludes many Of us. Why a
sophisticated. experienced
man in his late f1fties should
choose to paint in a childish
way, is a mystery. There UNI
doubtedly are childlike adults,
but their ability to remain
genuinely so, while living in
Paris or other world capitals,
is suspect.
Hartung'S heavy black
brush strokes create abstract
forms on grounds Of a single
color or several colors. Heavy
black bands or stripes sus-
pended on lighter grounds, or
occupying most Of the canvas,
achieve variety in the stark
painting of Soulages. Vasa-
rely's are precise in execution,
with geometric or aSsymetri-
cal balance of squares, loz-
enges. ovals and other shapes.
Best Known Here
Nicolas de Stael is perhaps
best known here through
former exhibitions at the
Phillips Gallery. His serried
ranks of squares in heavy
pigment are seen in one
canvas in the current show.

Khachaturian's Sabre Dance

others of the a ssocia tie d

on a Westminster issue by
Hermann Scherchen, who
until lately seemed above
such things.

1t is pleasant to encounter
another record from the
young Austrian pianist. Joerg
Demus, devoted to the still
neglected Schubert, whose
piano music has a particu-
larly valid place in the proper
scheme of things that most
pianists seem not to recog-
nize.
Almost any Schubert So
nata is worth hearing partly
because almost all are heard
so rarely. but the posthu-
mously published one in B
fiat, completed only a month
or so before Schubert's trag-
ically premature death, is
particularly beautiful and
worthy of attention. The
form and texture of Schu-
bert's sonatas are clearly
enough derived from Beetho-
ven's and Mozart's, but the
poignant, bittersweet note
that sounds so often between
the lines of melody is purely
and endearingly Schubertian
and too haunting not to
know.
The sterner but briefer A
minor sonata, OPP. l43, pro-
vides an added attraction on
this well-engineered West
minister disc, which certainly
