Mexican Primitive

Desiderio Escamilla, a 25-
year-old fisherman and skin
diver of Vera Cruz, Mexico, is
an authentic primitive painter
whose underwater and harbor
scenes, as we'll as landscapes
with figures, are on view in
the Center Market art gal

F. Norrell, president of Con-
gressional Wives Club, and
eprese ntative Frank
Thompson, jr., the display
benefits the Institute Mexi-
cano de Rehabilitation and
the artist.
The series of underwater
fishermen roping or spearing
fish is the most remarkable
part of the show. The
artists stippled technique
vividly captures the appear
ance of living creatures in
the depths. His emphatic
delineation of the loading Of
ship cargoes and the labors
OF agricultural workers carry
conviction of being accurately
observed by one to whom the
activities are personal expert

Writing and music. like

That the MisSa Solemnis

is obvious to anyone who has
tried it. If it were easy it
would lose the tension, the
striving, the anguish, the
jubilation it creates. That
the difficulty of the chorus
writing is a result of Beetho-

as is often declared. is ridicu-
lous, for from his earliest
days 10 the enQ OF MS lie
the composer wrote for
voices continually. His style
was as little idiomatic to the
human voice as that of
Bach's was. but his vocal
writing was just as emo

shows ingenuity in finding
figures in twisted bits of

he had his last formal por-
trait. If the work was its

easily understand the prefer

cized as being too secular,
and as being impossible to
sing. Today, perhaps, we
are coming to see that there
is no essential difference in
style between sacred and
secular music, except in a
few purely formal matters of
custom. The music of Bach,
Byrd, Mozart or Berlioz can
not be classified secular or
sacred without the assist
ance of the text, since the
language of music is univer-
sal, not understood equally
in all lands, but telling in
discriminatory Of all sacred
and profane things.

an impression of infinite

be had. Idomeneo, the OBJ
Scure masterpiece to be done
next season by the Wash
ington Opera Society and
available on Angel, is still
in monaural form only, and
Titus is unavailable in either
medium. Operatically, there
fore, a good deal of stereo
still lies ahead.
The familiar symphonies
are all available. On London
one can hear a coupling Of
the Jupiter and Haffner un-
der Krips with the Israel
Philharmonic, another of the
Prague and the G major SYM
phony, K. 318, by the London
Symphony under Peter Mag.
London's technicianS know
what they are about; these
are well-balanced, solid
sounding performances.
The E fiat symphony is
available in the bargain
priced, we'll recorded per-
formance by Joseph Keil-
berth and the Bamberg Sym
phony on Telefunken, paired
with the Prague. The famous
G minor can be had in a
polished edition by Otto
Klemperer and the Philhar-
monia, paired with the rela-
lively neglected earlier SYM
phony in the same key, as
we'll as on an Everest disc
featuring Leopold Ludwig
and the London Symphony.
The Klemperer 40th is more
dramatic, but Everest's is
also attractive and very
cleanly recorded.
One by CasalS
Rudolf Kempe and the Phil
harmonic turn in an effec-
tive performance of the c
major symphony, K. 1888, on
a Capitol disc. The Linz SYM
phony. in a performance re-
corded by Columbia in Puerto
Rico, can be sampled as in
terpreted by Pablo Casals;
the reading is extremely de-
liberate and rather rough
hewn. WeStminSter'S series of
early symphonies also now is
moving into stereo. with Nos.
IA through II on a disc as
led by Erich Leinsdorf, in
teresting youthful endeavors.
1t is not yet possible to
start looking for definitive
editions of the symphonies,
and the same is true for
concertoS. But some of the
offerings are highly attrac-
tive. James Stagliano, first
horn with the Boston SYM
phony, and some of his COL
leagues play the four horn
concertos on a pair of Boston
discs, for instance serious
competitor for the Dennis
Brain collection on Angel
which is not available stereo-
phonically, although the Bos-
ton price is substantially
more.
A lady flutist, Elaine Shaf-
fer. collaborates with Efrem
Kurtz and the Philharmonic
Orchestra in the two de-
lightful flute concertos, plus
an extra movement Mozart
wrote for the first, on an
EMI-Capitol disc. A Beech
am-led Capitol pairing of
the clarinet and bassoon con-
certoS also is highly tempt
ing.
A fine record from Colum-
bia offers the G and D major
violin concertos, K. ZIG and
218, performed by Zinc Fran
cescatti and Bruno Walter.
And Columbia also has done
its bit by several of the piano
concertos, offering a splendid
performance of the C major,
K. SOB, by Leon Fleisher with
the Cleveland Orchestra, and
a coupling on the Epic label
of the two B fiat concertos,
K. 456 and sos. by an accom-
plished Austrian, Ingrid Haze
