Three Million lipinos Jam Island
Route to Hail Visiting U. S. President

MANILA, R = A joyous, sing
ing, almost uncomfortable mass of
Filipinos Tuesday nearly over
whelmed President Eisenhower
with an enthusiastic welcome.
This land which the United
States set free only IA years ago
gave Eisenhower perhaps the
greatest tribute he has ever re-
ceived overseas. One and one-half
million or more roared their &C.
claim along flag-bedecked route,
showering Eisenhower with a
near blizzard of pastel confetti
and even paper boxes.
The crowd rivaled the nearly
hysterical turnout of Indians who
welcomed Eisenhower to New
Delhi last December.
Sometimes surging out of con-
troll, the tide of humanity slowed
his parade to walk as they
jammed to within inches of the
open car. He rode beside Philip
pine President Carlos Garcia from
the airport to downtown Manila,
distance of 10 miles.
Acrid fumes from the slow
moving cars occasionally brought
tears to Eisenhower's eyes. Fill

strained to clear path in humid

Beatniks Beat Charges

" PONTIAC. Mich, R = "One
character was running around in
a 1eopard-skin robe and wearing
a turban. A girl was doing a
shake dance. AS a matter of fact,
the guy in the leopard skin was
swinging from the trees"
That was the lament Monday
from Jack Weller, a public park
manager, about nine beatniks from
the Cave of Nine Cats Coffee
House who invaded his park.
The beats were arrested at the
park Saturday on charge of dis
turing the peace. But Oakland
County Prosecutor George Tay-
lor said he couldn't find any law
making it illegal for beatniks to
beat bongos, dance and recite
verse in public park. He or
dereda the nine released.

BILLED AT WATERGATE JULY II
,TURNTABLE TALK
Stereo Recruits
, Budapest Quartet

There were places where
the review discs, like Colum-
bias, could have been some
what cleaner sounding. On
the whole, the series can be
highly recommended. how
ever. The music, Of course,
is magnificent.
Vanguard and the Grillers
also have performed a pio-
neering service for Haydn.
The six quartets Of Op. II
and "a are heard on a pair
of stereo discs in alert, ro-
bust-sounding performances.
In this instance two-the c
major and G minor-are also
offered in equally able read
ings by the Amadeus Quar-
tet, another English ensem-
BILE, on a Deutsche Grammo-
phon disc.
There is more separation
of the instruments on the
American record, but the
German-made issue is worth
special mention for its i'm
maculate surfaces. Others
should take note. When it
comes to a showdown, the
average man is likely to ap-
preciate such an attribute.
AS for Haydn, it is high
time his quartets got more
public attention. too. These
are from late career, and
well worth having.
StereO Schubert
The appetite of Schuber-
tians should be stimulated by
a Victor issue combining the
D minor quartet and the
"Quartettsatz," the delight
full isolated quartet move
ment, as performed energet-
ically by the Juilliard Quar-
tet. The Trout" quintet also
benefits from the new re-
cording medium, as demon
strated both on a London
disc by a Viennese ensemble
and Clifford Curzon and on
Vanguard by another Vien-
nese group with Denis Mat
thews. The London sound is
richer, the Vanguard per-
formance brisker; the choice
is a tossup.
Brahms enthusiasts can
hear a fluent stereo version
of the F minor piano quintet
by Eva Bernathova and the
Janacek Quartet on DeutSche
Grammophon; the G minor
piano quartet by Ralph Berk-
owitz and the Bel Arte Trio
on Boston, and the clarinet
sonata and trio with Berko-
witz, Gino Ciofi and Samuel
Mayes, also on Boston. The
quartet recording has excess
sive echo; the monaural edi-
ton. in this case, seems pref
erable.
The Debussy and Ravel
quartets, in lively readings
by the Juilliarders and in ex-
cellent sound, can also be
had on a new Victor disc,
which one hopes is the start
! of a new Victor trend.

BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Record Critic

Stdr FeCOIu SEltlC
Chamber music, at best
something of a recording
stepchild. has been rather a
forgotten quantity lately.
This may be connected with
a widespread assumption
that stereo-the thing record
makers now are interested in
lis superfluous where quar-
tets and the like are con-
cerned.
This assumption is under
standable. Obviously. the
clarifying function Of the
dual stereo reproducing tech
nique is displayed most spec
tacularly in an opera or
symphony or something else
built on a big scale. But
stereo can do something for
the sound originated by more
modest ensembles, too. The
differences are subtler. But
the added verisimilitude is
there.
Disc makers, happily. are
beginning to pay some heed
to this fact. Now that the
first flood of Beethoven fifths
and Scheherazades has swept
by, repertoire in the smaller
forms is getting some atten-
ton again.
Budapest's Beethoven
The Budapest Quartet. for
example, has turned it's tall
ented eight hands to the
Beethoven quartets. The six
of Op. 18 have appeared, on
three Columbia discs. This
must be the umpteenth 60
round for the Budapesters
with these classics, but their
playing is as spirited as ever.
And stereo adds definition
and resonance to the repro
duction.
A couple Of the sample
sides were not as clean
sounding as they should be.
Columbia should be more
careful with its DRESSINGS.
Beethoven's later quartets
are mostly still available only
monophonically. A bargain
price edition of Op. 127 by the
, Tatrai Quartet of Budapest
, (Washington'S BudapeSters
hail from Russia, not Buda-
pest) can be had on tele-
funken. A sampled copy of
a companion issue of OPP. IA
was marred by distortion.
Mozart's quartets have yet
to make a significant stereo
dent, but a lavish effort has
been expended by Vanguard
on the quintets. The E fiat,
D major, G major and G
minor string quintets to-
gether with Mozart's tran
scription of the c minor
wind serenade and the quar-
tet version Of the C minor
adagio and fugue, are played
splendidly by the Griller
Quartet, with William Prim-
rose assisting. on three stereo
discs. CMonaural editions are
also available)

Vienna Festival Peak

Conscience MeIIen for several sum
men hos been covering the Euro
peon music festivals for The
StoT. From Vienna she writes of
the most spectacular opera seq
son since the lost wor.
than ever before. Dietrich
Fischer-DieSkau. an artist
who can do no wrong vocally.
had broadened his interpre-
tation of Mandryka, so be-
lievable a few years ago, until
it approached caricature.
Fortunately he dropped his
obviously well intentioned
efforts to amuse during the
long musical courtship in the
second act. This is a case
where careful coaching would
eradicate many minor faults.
In Vienna at festival time,
there are at least three things
you want to hear every even
ming. The concert schedule
was running full strength,
with visiting orchestras and
distinguished soloists cele-
brating anniversaries at every
opportunity - the principal
honorees being Mahler and
Wolf. I heard the Vienna
Philharmonic in the culmi-
mating ceremony of the
Mailer centennial, a per-
formance Of "Das Lied Won
der Erde" conducted by
Karajan, with Hide Rossl-
Majdan and Fritz Wunder-
Itch as soloists. Karajan, up
to now diffident about his
ability to conduct Mahler
$50 it was reported, ap-
peared to have convinced
the Vienna Mahlerites on
this occasion. The tone of the
orchestra was one golden
entity, the voices perfectly
chosen.
FiScher-D Dieskau Scores
Mailer had another trib-
ute from the MuniSh Phil
harmonic, whose conductor
Fritz Rieger gave the Lie
der zines Fahrenden Gesel-
len" a delicate performance
with Fischer DieSkau as
soloist. The delicacy was
rather surprising for so ro-
bust an orchestra. Fischer
Dieskau, a busy man in
Vienna, marked the Wolf
centenary with a recital of
the Morike songs. He and
his partner, Pianist George
DemuS, were rapturously ap-
plauded by a huge audience
that crowded down to the
front to hear the encoreS.
All in all, a wonderful. and
crowded, festival. The visit
ing star system sometimes
breaks down, when singers
fall sick the ensemble suffers
except in the almost closed
circle of the Mozart wing, "
whose members have been
working together for so long.

ances I missed both Cosi
and EntfuehrungD Though
the airplane is now being
blamed for all troubles in the
opera world, it certainly
makes possible some extra
ordinary consultations of
artists. When these person.
alities converge on Vienna
they add to the normal fever
pitch of excitement a kind of
frenzy. The atmosphere is
not restful. but it is in per-
feet tune, and most people
who have been exposed to
this climate come back for
more.
