Ginostero's Contoto
Enchanting, Exciting

this music-Saturated week. The
harmony is carefully controlled
and never seems merely the
fortuitous product of the con-
fluence of contrapuntal lines.
The fast section of the Lyric
revealed a rhythmic gift fully
the equal of Somers' melodic
talent. Accurate performance
OF difficult rhythmic ideas is
one of the Mexican orchestra'S
strong points, and it seemed
that the piece was fully realized.
The concert began with Ru-
dolfo Halffter's Tripartita, a
largely neo-claSsical work
whose opening movement had
some lightly atonal ideas.
Halffter, too, has a strong
melodic gift, and if stylistically
the music contained no sur
prises, it distinguished itself
by the high quality of its ideas.
The Orrego-SalaS concerto
is a tonal work with a rela-
lively low dissonanee level, and
like the Halffter Tripartita.
basically neo-classical in orr
Ientation. The resemblance goes
no further, for the concerto,
while pleasant, appears to be
a trite work of no particular
distinction. 1t was not helped
by Pianist Pia Sebastiani's in
ability to project a lyric line
like the second theme of the
first movement.
On first hearing, the SYM
phony by Bias Galindo that
closed the concert falls below
Halffter but above Orrego-
Salas. Again, we found our
selves listening to a tonal, neo-
classical work. and again some
of the melodic material was
most impressive. Indeed, if the
entire work we're as noble as
the third movement theme
first played by an unaccom-
panied trumpet, Galindo would
have produced a symphony of
very high quality.
The music on the program
as a whole was less difficult
than that played by the same
orchestra on Saturday night,
and the performances were &C
cordingly far more accurate.
The orchestra produces a fine
sound, though there is too much
vibrato in the winds for my
taste. and its rhythmic pre-
cision is more than gratifying.
The violins are the weakest
part Of the ensemble and the
section displays a wider variety
Of opinion about pitch than one
expects from a really first-class
orchestra.
I think there is no question
but what Senor Herrera is a
great conductor of contem-
porary music who shapes
phrases, builds climaxes, and
within the limitations of the
orchestra, intonation with a
care and comprehension that
is rare enough in performances
of the standard repertory and
still rarer in performances of
cOntemnOrarY works

Size and quality, as every
body knows, are not necessarily
related. and the shortest piece
on yesterday afternoons Inter-
American Music Festival pro-
gram by the Orquesta Sinfon-
lea de Mexico was, for my ears
also the most interesting.
The composer of this work.
called Lyric for Orchestra, is
a young Canadian, Harry Som
ers, of whom many of us are
hearing for the first time. The
Lyric is apparently a twelve
tone composition-one would
guess a rather strict one and
the first few measures make
clear that SomerS has a most
unusual melodic gift. For the
opening theme, superbly shaped
by Senor Herrera, is one Of
the most moving and diStin-
guished melodies I have during

In contrast to the welter of
new music brought to Wash
ington by the Inter-American
Music Festival, last nights Ma
tional Gallery concert reposed
safely in the arms of the
naughty nineteenth century,
even presenting Lully's ballet
suite in the orchestral guise
given it by the great Wagnerian
conductor. Felix Mottl.
The suite consists of six lovely
melodies from five operas, and
even in the rather lush orches-
tration of Mottl they completely
justify Lully's enduring fame
as a composer.
The programs soloist was
Emerson Meyers, always a fa-
vorite with Gallery audiences.
He played Weber's Concert
Piece in F Minor, a brilliant
example OF a somewhat faded
type Of show piece for the
piano. A few of the many notes
we're spilled, but his efforts and
those of the orchestra and con-
ductor were rewarded with an
ovation.
The program closed with
MendelsSohn'S Scotch SYM
phony, a piece for which Mr..
Bales has an obvious affection.
Tempt were a little fast for
clarity of sound in the reverber-
ant gallery, but many passages
were quite effective. The horns
we're excellent in the last move
nent: there was much fine
woodwind playing throughout
the evening; the strings were
good, the violas and celli play
ing with great richness Of
sound.
The National Gallery orches-
ira has come to have a special
place in the musical life Of
Washington. In spite of the
rather dreadful acoustics Of the
hall, which make many works
impossible to perform and ele-
vate even such score as the
MendelsSohn to a degree of
loudness past the point of COM
fort, the orchestra continues to
grow in expertnesS. And Rich
ard Bales programs a great
deal of interesting music. well
worth hearing, that is omitted
from the programs of the major
symphony orcheStras.

The steady procession of
more or less uniformly splen-
did young pianists through
Washington concert halls this
season was given a jolt yes
terday by Daniel Pollack. Pol
lacks astonishing pianism is
still rare and makes him stand
out in the best Of company.
The young American who
only a short time ago returned
from a brilliant Russian tour
made his Washington bow at
Evening star., 1961-05-01
the Phillips Gallery yesterday

the Phillips Gallery yesterday
afternoon.
Of course Daniel Pollack has
an immense technique. Without
any visible sign of physical
strain he made La Campanella
and the scurrying Menotti To-
catta crackle with a soaring
fire. More noteworthy was the
lively MUSICAL intellect that dis
ciplined this technique. The
ingratiating op. 79 Sonata Of
Beethoven was the warm and
intimate delight it was meant
to be, marked by a superb
singing melodic line and a
ready senSitivity to the doings
of subtle inner voices.
Clarity of texture and Of
form are fundamental in all of
Mr.. Pollack's musical concep-
tions. He is not afraid to use
the pedal in his Bach piano
transcriptions. and he uses it
in the finest taste. Whether
dealing with the skillful archi-
lecture of the Beethoven sonata,
or the relaxed musing of the
Brahms E major IntermezZo,
the pianist has a distinct sense
of direction, motivated, even
at the slowest tempo, by a con-.
trolled impetus. This kind of
treatment gave the Chopin
sonata a structural validity !
never knew it had.
Now that the Russians have
discovered another exciting
new American pianist for us
he has been recorded there,
but not as yet here-it is only
a matter of time before Amer
lean audiences turn out in
droves to hear Daniel Pollack.
For those who were at Phillips
Gallery yesterday his next
Washington appearance will
not be soon enough.

The District Commissioners
have Just emerged from q chilli
ing experience on the New
Frontier. They were ambushed
and almost scalped Of theia
low-numbered auto tags.
According to eyewitness re.
ports, the saga unfolded this
way:
The District building recently
received word from the Demo-
cratic National Committee that
the White House wanted Dis
trict Tags l, 2 and 3.
A committee official said
President Kennedy would take
No. /; Vice President johnson,
No. 2, and House Speaker Ray
burn, No. 3.
BY tradition, the No. 1 tag
goes to the president Of the
Board Of Commissioners for his
personal car, No. 2 to the
boards vice president and No.
8 to the Engineer Commissioner
The telephone call was re-
ceived at the District Building
as the Commissioners special
assistants were completing their
annual exercise in delicate
misunderstanding the .un-
lettered tags from ] to 1850.
There appeared to be little
doubt ct this point that the

House would be granted. Com
missioner Robert e. McLaugh-
lin, president Of the board and
q Republican. passed down in
structions that 1861 Tags /, 2
and 3 were not to be checked
off to the Commissioners.
However, an unidentified city
official got UP his nerve and
made some checks with the
White House and the offices
Of the Vice President and the
Speaker.
Apparently. the Democratic
committee official had been
somewhat overzealous. The tag
request, it seemed, came as q
complete surprise, and further.
more the Commissioners were
welcome to keep their low
numbers.
The report was that PreSi-
dent Kennedy (whose private
car had carried q Massachu-
sets license) did not want No
l, and Mr.. johnson and Mr.,
Rayburn were satisfied with,
respectively, Ill and 18.
This apparently clears the
way for the Commissioners as
siStants to assign the low-num-
bered tags-except for one
thing. They must wait to be
sure who the new president of
the board will be after the Sen
ate acts on the nomination Of
Walter N. Tobriner.

I'd Official City Song

gested to Gen. Clarke that they
adopt it on the spot as the

agreed.
