THE u. s.. SCORED. TWO
Evening star., 1961-08-02

Marguerite Brockway'S recital
last night proved to be one of
the more memorable offerings
in Catholic University's current
summer concert season, mainly
for the musical intelligence
that went into it's planning
and realization.
The program had more than
an average share of first-rate
music, and the good taste that
was evident on paper came to
life with the first notes of Dido'S
dying lament. A fine sense of
lyric line and highly musical
phrasing marked this and most
of Mrs. Brockway'S work
throughout the evening.
A noteworthy aspect of her
programming was the reser-
vation of the entire second
half of the program for the
Schumann 'Frauenliebe und
Leben" cycle, emphasizing the
seriousness of her intent and
the disposal of the musical
froth early in the game.
The froth was, in fact, quite
palatable, consisting of a hand
full of pleasantly contemporary
English songs. Mrs. Brockway
Savored 'Waly Waly" with a
simple charm that reminded us
that it is a folk tune, despite
Benjamin Britten's ingenious
efforts to eradicate the memory.

Rowley'S Mystical Songs"

"The Birthday" came close to
grasping it securely.
The "Herodiade" aria was
sung with a sweeping command
of style, but Mrs. Brockway's
voice showed some signs of
firing in its upper range. This
was the ideal time to turn
away from purely vocal de-
mands to the basically inter-
pretive demands of Schumann.
While Mrs. Brockway's Ger
man had it's uneven spots, there
was no mistaking her intense
understanding of the warmly
romantic Chamisso poems. At
her best with the introspective
Schumann, she sustained the
easy line of 'Du Ring an
meinem Finger" with a grace
full cantabile. The somber colors
