the death of both Desdemona

however, which gives the words
their dramatic impact and
heightens the passion of the
tragedy. The line of music is

Among Top Performances

must be ranked high among
the ones this reviewer has
heard during the last three

Top honors go to James Nc
Craken in the role of Otello.
Both vocally and histrionically
he dominated the evening from
beginning to end. 1t is difficult
to single out specific portions of
his role, but for sheer beauty
of sound, the love music with
which the first act ends was
particularly notable.
In the remaining acts, the
disintegration OF Otello's per-
sonality is so skillfully sup
ported by Verdi's score that we

Verdi's "Otello" has been with

aroused. her alteration gradu-
ally changes to hurt bewilder-
ment and it is only in the final
act that the enormity Of what
is happening becomes clear to
her. The "Willow Song" and
the Ave Maria" in this act re-
vealed the full beauty of her
voice and the sensitive por-
trayal of her defeat.
In many ways, the role Of
Iago is the most complex one
of the opera and this writer
found Robert Trehy somewhat
disappointing in it. Although
he clearly established the base
ness of lagos character in the
opening scenes of the opera,
his performance was not on a
par with that of Mr.. Nc
Cracken'S Otello. lagos Credo
in the second act is of pivotal
Importance to the remaining
course Of the opera, for with
this confession the ultimate
destiny Of Otello and Desde-
mona becomes clear. In this
scene, Mr.. Trehy was not en-
tirely convincing.
Mallory Walker, who will be
remembered for his sensational
debut last season in the lead
ing role of Stravinsky's "The
Rake's Progress" was pleasing
in the role of Cassie. Eunice Al
bert, who also is well known to
Washington audiences, was very
effective in the part of lagos
wife, Emelia.
A special word of commen-
dation must go to James
Waring for his usual ingenious
solutions to problems posed by
the platform in Lisner Audi
torium.
Paul Galloway, musical di-
rector Of the Opera Society
from the beginning. deserves
full credit for an exciting eve
ming Of opera. His skill in
integrating soloists, chorus and
the National Symphony Or
chestra was clearly evident
throughout the entire perform
ance.

crossed with the total dramatic

fore us on the stage without
being fully aware Of the indi-
vidual elements of music, text
and action. 1t was this fusion
of music and theater which
made Mr.. McCracken's per-
formance so convincing.
Well Cast DesdemOna
Maria di Gerlando was well
cast as Desdemona. She is the
possessor Of lovely voice and
much more. Hers is a difficult
role, for in the early part of
the opera she must give the
impression of pure alteration

to her after a long absence.

concert at the Library Of Con-
greSs.
The group got its Italian
sounding title from an arbitrary
combination of syllables from
the first names of its original
members. Alexander Schneider,
Benar Heifetz and the late
Eric Itor Kahn. Although the
personnel has changed-the
Giobenward Trio hardly sounds
so euphonious-much of the
sensitively masculine character
of the first ensemble has re-
mained.
The evenings novelty was an
unpublished Trio Sonata by
the late Karol Rathaus, a Pol
ish composer who came to New
York in the 1930s and spent the
last years Of his life teaching
at Queens College.
The Trio Serenade was one
of his last works. It is of
linear texture and it is skill
fully written in a mildly dis
sonant idiom, but it didn't
really develop steam until the
third movement and / thought
that only the finale, appar-
emily Bartok-influenced, was
wholly successful.
OF the two standard trios on
the program, the Brahms
seemed to go much better. The
