Ballet Fare

Herbert Won Karajan, bet
ter known in the realm Of
symphony and opera, is the
baton wielder In q London
record of Adams Giselle. 1t
doesn't hurt in the least that
the orchestra is the Vienna
Philharmonic. Those who like
the hardy old score will find
this pleasant listening. Won
Karajan may not shape ev-
erything to meet q choreog-
rapher's fancy, but that does
not detract from the lush
sound.
Lorin Maazel, the much
discussed young conductor, is
in charge of another London.
offering. This Is Stravinsky's
Petrushka, now over so years
old, and more popular than
ever. Maazel shows off tthe
Israel Philharmonic in bright,
respondent colors. Given
excellent engineering support,
they turn out what may be
the most glittering Petrushka
on records.
For another dash Of IA
miliar ballet music, Mercury
Records has Paul Paray and
the Detroit Symphony doing
a group from French Opera.
These are from Gounod's
Faust, Bizet's Carmen.
Thomas Mignon, MasSenet's
Phedre, Berlioz' Trojans at
Carthage and Saint-Saens'
Samson and Bacchanale. Pa
ray is at his best in this
kind of program.

Since In theory at least the
heart Of town is The Mall,
you might profitably start at
the Smithsonian's graphic
arts division. located in that
dull red building based on
the complete works Of Sir
Walter Scott.
The graphic arts division
is featuring q recent &C.
QUESTION also based to q
large degree on the complete
works Of Sir Walter Scott,
the Kelmscott Chaucer print
ed by william Morris in days
OF old when art was nouveau.
The sumptuously bound, de-
signed and printed book is
the gift Of Senator Clinton
Anderson and is one Of the
monuments of aesthetic So
cialism at the end Of the
10th century. BY now most
observers agree not only that
the chief artist. Burne-Jones,
was rather less than great,
but also that Morris whole
revolution had its main
value as criticism. not as q
workable program. Neverthe-
less the Chaucer. including
the drawings. Is Of great In
terest both usually and his
torically.
More up TO date at the d.
vision is a small exhibition
Of woodcuts by Unichi Hirat-
suka. Japanese artist now
visiting relatives here. The
highly individual print tech
niques should be Of interest
TO anyone who likes prints.
The 10 examples on view are
all In black and white In the
strongest sense. There are no
grays and there is nothing
remotely approaching the
screen" Western printmen
have often carved In wood.
The subjects are mostly Japa-
nese temples and gardens.
seen In selected detail. not
overall view. The detail Is
almost always presented in
what photographers call a
high angle or q low angle,
not straight on or from one
side. The angle shooting and
the vivid blacks-sometime
overprinted five or six times
make for strongly dramatic
prints.

RECORD REVIEW
BY HERMAN SCHADEN
star Record Critic

Imagining Pierre MonteuX
not making beautiful music
is like trying to visualize a
bed of ugly roses. You aren't
likely to behold either soon,
as the listener will readily
gather from Papa Monteux'
first recording of the Beetho-
ven Ninth Symphony on two
Westminster records.
At 81, the venerable
Frenchman has turned out
as youthful and inspirational
a choral symphony as might
another half his age. His
forces are the London Sym
phony (of which he is con-
ductor for life~, the London
Bach Choir and soloists Eliza
beth Soederstroem, soprano;
Regina Resnik, contralto; Jon
Vickers, tenor, and David
Ward, bass.
Monteux' Ninth does not
have the propulsion Of Tos-
canini's, nor the massive ma
jesty Of Klemperer's, but it
has a distinctive flavor Of its
own - a light-handed APP
proach that explores every
lyrical measure, creating or
chestral textures that glow
and CLINT like sunshine, and
the instructive feeling for
building to climaxes. His
vocal forces serve him well.
Those who have followed
Monteux through the years
will prize the side devoted to
his rehearsal for this record
ing. 1t is an insight into the
methods he has used to get
the best out Of musicians for
more than so years.

Fine Reissues

Westminster Records may
be pardoned. nay, applauded
for bringing back some Of
the issues for which the COM
pany won many friends In
the old days. They are all
justified because the sound,
though monophonic alone, is
strictly up-to-date, the per-
formances are top-rate, the
surfaces clean and the pack
aging fresh. Now available:
JOSEPH HAYDN: The six
string quartets of Opus "a,
issued on three separate rec
ords. These are by the Vienna
Konzerthaus Quartet ire
member?). that relaxed and
smooth-playing team fea-
tured by Westminster a few
years ago. Their playing is
as beautiful as the music.
DOMENICO SCARLATTI:
Here is another trio Of rec
ords, each made up Of a
dozen harpsichord sonatas Of
Scarlatti. At the keyboard is
Fernando Valenti, recognized
as one of the modern mas
tiers of the old instrument,
which in recent years has
made quite a comeback. The
variety OF Scarlatti's works
never ceases to astound. Va
lenti, now engaged in record
ing many more Of the $50
works, tackles them as q
student of real virtuoSity.
WILLIAM BOYCE: Back in
Handel's time, a comparative
unknown named Boyce wrote
eight little suites or sympho-
MES someone fortunately re-
discovered. Westminster has
re-issued them on two rec
ords by the London Baroque
Ensemble conducted by Karl
Haas. They are bouncy, juicy
and delightful.

ART AND ARTISTS
By FRANK GETLEIN
Art Critic Of The Star

The last seven days in
Washington have seen the
opening Of a group Of art
exhibitions under private
auspices, commercial, social
and nonprofit, which to-
gether cast light on the ar
tistic side of that initiation
of the language so long
familiar to movie-goers and
used-car buyers.
In art, as in those two re-
lated fields, we have become
used to thinking in superla-
tives and it's too bad. The
most obvious way in which
it's too bad, Of course, Is that
Of the misplaced superlative:
The painter hailed as the
hottest thing since Michel
angelo who turns out to be
>just another painter.
But there's another way in
which our addiction to the
most, the greatest, the first
and the finest Injuries us. We
think that anything less than
those semantic pinnacles is
beneath our attention. So we
don't bother with lesser val
ues and we miss a good deal
that might interest us and
even repay our notice with
pleasure, instruction, delight
and some small enhancement
Of our lives.
AS it happens, Washington
Is well supplied with great
ness at the moment. You can
see different aspects Of 1t In
the Cabot show at the Ma
tional Gallery. in the Giaco-
metti show at the Phillips
and the Picasso print show
at the Jewish Community
Center. not to mention all
kinds Of greatness perma-
nently available in the per-
manent collections of the
National, the Phillips and the
Corcoran.
But in addition, thanks to
openings Of the past week,
the town is well supplied with
art that is less than great,
most of 1t contemporary
American, some of it foreign.
Depending on your own geo.
graphical location, you would
do well to take in one or
more Of these exhibitions and
learn what you can get from
art below the ton.

Buder Gallery

Another low-key but de-
cidedly rewarding show Is the
one at the Bader Gallery,
paintings by Rosm on d
Tirana. There are examples
that look vaguely related to
Mark Rothko. but the re-
semblance Is deceptive. Mrs.
Tirana Is q longtime sum-
mer visitor to Cape Cod and
the colored mist In her work
is derived more from the
way things are out beyond
Hyannis Port than from an
interest in balancing misty
paint against misty paint.
Her scenes are simple, as
is the scenery In those parts.
The typical Tirana painting
divides itself In two hori-
zontally. with dark ground in
the bottom half. light sky
in the top. But within both
dark and light are endless
subtle variations Of color. The
Swallowed ground CLOVIS here
and there with little lights.
The sky changes color from
area TO area. often as II a
red rising sun were being
filtered through miles OF mist.
Once In q while the fog
clears and we get a strongly
defined composition based on
rocks or trees. but usually
the mist is all over and
lovely In It's delicate. varied
shades. The most ambitious
picture. and totally success
full. Is Autumn" with foliage
parted TO reveal the CLEAN
Of q distant pond. Within
the limits Of her interests,
Mrs. Tirana is an extremely
accomplished painter.

BY IRVING LOWENS
Star Music Critic

Star Music Critic
Last May, as a direct re-
suit of the sensationally
successful Second Inter-
American Music Festival held
in this city in 1861, a third
land considerably larger
festival, also under the aus
pices of the Pan American
Union and the Inter-Ameri-
can Music Council, was an
nounced for April-May Of this
year with the President and
Mrs. Kennedy as honorary
chairmen.
A White House release of
May IL, 1862, stated that
like previous Inter-Ameri-
can festivals, the 1868 fes-
tival is designed to bring to
Washington first per-
formances of the works Of
the best-known Latin Ameri-
can, United States and Ca
madam composers"
Major United States and
Latin American symphony
orchestras, chamber ensem-
bles, and some of the best
soloists from both hemi-
spheres will participate in the
festival" the statement con-
tinued. This recognition by
the countries of the Western
Hemisphere Of the import
ance of cultural understand
ing is directly associated with
the hemisphere's new Alliance
for Progress"
Called Off
Last week the 1868 Inter-
American Festival was called
off.
The following statement
was issued by Ambassador
Angler Biddle Duke, chief of
protocol Of the United States,
who was the chairman of
the Committee of Sponsors
for the event:
"The postponement until
next year of the Third Inter-
American Music Festival,
originally scheduled for May,
1868, was announced today
by the Inter-American Music
Council, the main organiza-
ton sponsoring this cultural
event. The decision to post
pone was taken in view of
the fact that several of the
principal musical works COM
missioned for the festival
have not yet been completed,
according to DR.. Guillermo
Espinosa, director of the
festival. Plans for the hold
ing Of the festival next year
will be announced at a later
date. DR.. Espinosa said"
Lack Of Funds
One may perhaps be per-
mitted to go a little beyond
Mr.. Dukes statement and
into a factor which he ad-
mits is present but on which
he declined to comment. One
Of the main reasons is I'M
doubtedly lack OF financial
support. something which has
plagued the organizers Of the
festival since the first one
took place in 1858.
According to reliable
sources, less than 100000
was needed in order to save
the 1868 festival.
1t could not be raised,
despite appeals TO private in
dividuals. business concerns
(some with major interests
In Latin America and foun-
dations.
Ill-Timed POstpOnement
The postponement comes at
q particularly unfortunate
time. in view OF cultural de-
velopments in Cuba. Just
within the past few weeks
the Castro regime has been
shipping out large packets
OF programs designed TO show
