UphoIds Its Repute

ductor, offering standard works
from the classic, romantic and
poSt-romantic repertory as well
as q novelty in the form of a
symphony by the Dutch COM
poser Leon Orthel, a figure vir-
tually unknown on this side of
the Atlantic.
The orchestra certainly lived
up to its great reputation, pro-
ducing a lustrous fabric of
glorious tone, especially from
the strings.
Despite some evidence that
orchestra had not yet found its
proper land legs, plain in the
lack Of exact precision early in
the evening. the Concertgebouw
again was revealed as a magnif-
lcent muSic-making machine
capable Of giving any conductor
anything he might desire by
way of nuance.
It was perhaps for this very
reason that Mr.. Haitink's inter-
pretations were rather disap-
pointing. There is plenty Of fire
in the man, and he does not
shirk the responsibility to lead,
but the Beethoven sounded un-
inspired, while the Ravel show
piece failed to build to the
exciting climax inherent in the
work.
In the Beethoven, Mr.. Hal
tink substituted caprice (verg-
ing in the scherzo on eccen-
tricity) for clarity Of musical
thought; in the Ravel, noise for
fire.
The Concertgebouw and Mr.
Haitink were heard to fine
advantage in the Orthel "Pic-
cola Sinfonia," a work Of con-
siderable interest composed in
1938-40. Mr.. Orthel's symphony
is the second of five he has
composed. The harm oniC
palette is conservatively mod
ern, and the piece was most
affecting in the Sibelius- like
slower sections linking three
disparate movements into a
single unit. The scherzo was
on the commonplace side, 1t is
true, but the symphony as a
whole does hold the interest

Match Car Upholstery To Your Dresses

Don't be surprised if one day
in the future you walk into a
cur dealers showroom and find
automobiles upholstered in fab
rics to match your dress or suit.
More and more, Detroit's de-
signers are turning to fashion
as inspiration for interior decor
of cars.
Many Of the fabrics used for
interiors of the 1862 Bucks
were styled after dress and
home-decorating fabrics, a I'D
it's likely this trend will become
more firmly established. For
there is a strong belief in the
auto industry that many people
consider their automobiles their
homes on wheels and enjoy
having around them the colors
and patterns they like.
"Of course, at the present
time we don't just copy q fab
ric," says George Moon, chief
of Bucks Interior Design Stu
dio. I'VE survey thousands OF
fabrics and when we find q
pattern we like, we have It
adapted for our own use.
'In the process, some changes
necessarily must be made but
we try to keep the basic de-
sign the same. For instance,
in the 1862 Invicta we are using
q plaid fabric which was
adapted from Scottish tartars."
Changes which take place in
manufacture of automobile up
holstery fabrics come a b out
primarily because of the series
of tests to which fabrics are
subjected for wearability, fade
resistance, dye-stability, yarn
strength and tensile strength.

thetics which can Withstand the
