Superb American Dancers

With Ballet Theatre

The highlight of Hartford's current dance season will undoubtedly be a single performance on the Bushnell stage by the American Ballet Theatre the evening of Monday, January 15. This large troupe has come to the fore as the most distinguished ballet unit in the New World. On tour it numbers nearly 100 persons.

The company's cast is headed by such dancers as Lupe Serrano, John Kriza, Toni Lander, Royes Fernandez, Ruth Ann Koesun, Sallie Wilson and Ivan Allen. Most of these artists are well known to Connecticut dance fol-lowers through their brilliant earlier performances on the Bushnell stage.

American Ballet Theater (which was the first United States ballet troupe to invade Russia) opened its current season with a two-weeks run in New York, followed by the start of a cross-country tour. There are 17 ballets in the tour repertory, including four new works and two popular revivals. The Hartford program has not yet been announced.

Eichmann Trial Recorded

On 1000 Miles of Tape

More than 1000 miles of tape (for television and newsreels) have been made in the Capital Cities Broadcast-ing Company's coverage of the Eich-mann trial in Israel, but the company has indicated it will not be on hand when judgment in the trial is an-nounced, probably this month. Capital Cities, according to Variety magazine, has lost about $500,000 on the exclu-sive privilege it had to cover the trial for TV and news films — and is not prepared to lose any more.

Noted Pianist Cooks, Too:

Reveals Favorite Recipe When the magazine Musical America,

while interviewing world-famous pian-ist Gina Bachauer, discovered that she loved to cook, the natural question was: What is your favorite recipe?

"It's pheasant stuffed with green olives and long-grain wild rice, and here is the recipe," replied she.

Materials needed: two large pheas-ants; wild rice, 1 pound green olives stuffed with pimentos; 1 onion; two 3.4- pound bars of butter; salt and pepper to season.

Procedure: first, fill three ordinary water glasses, one with Marsala, one with a dry white wine, and one with red burgundy.

Prepare stuffing first. Put rice in a big bowl and cover it with boiling water. Let stand for one hour. Cut onion into very fine pieces and add one-half bar butter. Brown this in sauce-pan, then add the olives. Add half of each of the three wines; the other half is poured over the pheasants. Drain rice and add. Let simmer for 20 min-utes. Rub pheasants inside and out with lemon; salt and pepper them and stuff with the above. Place in a hot oven for the first three minutes; then brush with melted butter three or four times and add the rest of the wine. Cover and cook slowly for exactly two and one-quarter hours. Serve with a green salad and a vegetable.

The company contracted to tape every minute of the trial, but with a time limit that has now been reached. It was to distribute its tape around the world, working on a non-profit basis; it did not realize how "non-profit" the ar-rangement would prove to be, when it set up a fully-equipped TV studio near the courthouse and took those 1000 miles of taped coverage for viewers in all parts of the world.

ERNEST ANSERMET Among the busiest of European conduc-

tors, Maestro Ansermet is spending only three weeks in the New World at this time as guest conductor of the Boston Sym-phony. Hartford is one of the few American cities in which this celebrated musician is being presented, since most of his United States concerts are being performed in Boston's Symphony . and New York's Carnegie halls.

M. Ansermet started his working life as a professor of mathematics, but as a young man turned to music. After serving for a time as conductor of the Montreux Kursaal, he toured widely with Diaaghi-leff's famous ballet company as its con-ductor. He established an international reputation as an interpreter of modern music.

His own orchestra for more than four decades has been the Suisse Romande, which he conducts not only in its native Switzerland but in Europe's major concert halls. Its recordings under his direction are world-acclaimed.

OVERTURE (SUITE) NO. 2 IN B MINOR FOR FLUTE AND

STRING ORCHESTRA

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Born at Eisenach, March 21, 1685: died at Leipzig, July 28, 1750.

Bach's orchestral suites, of which there are four, have generally been attributed to the five-year period (1717-23) in which he was Kapell-meister to the young Prince Leopold of Anhalt-COthen.

The suites, partitas, and "overtures," so titled, by Bach were no more than variants upon the suite form. Bach held to the formal outline of the French ouuerture, but extended and elaborated it to his own purposes. In the dance melodies of these suites, Albert Schweit-zer has said "a fragrant of a vanished

world of grace and eloquence has been preserved for us."

The grave introductory measures of the first movement, given to the com-bined group, are followed by a lively fugue, the development of which is occasionally interrupted by florid pas-sages for the flute which here first emerges as a solo instrument. In the Rondo, which is an unusual form with Bach, the voice of the flute is matched with the strings. In the Sarabande, the cellos follow the flute theme in canonic imitation. The second of the two Bourrees again projects the flute in the recurring ornamental figuration which gives the suite so much of its charm. The flute is again so treated in the Double (or variant) of the Polonaise. The Minuet has the usual two sections, but no trio. The Badinerie, a lively presto movement, is characteristic of its composer.

Doriot Anthony Dwyer was born in Streator, Illinois. She studied at the Eastman School of Music with Joseph Mariano and elsewhere with William Kincaid and Ernest Liegl. She was a member of the National Symphony in Washington, D. C., the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra before joining the Boston Symphony Orchestra as prin-cipal flute in 1952.

SYMPHONY IN THREE MOVEMENTS

By Igor Stravinsky Born at Oranienbaum, near St.

Petersburg, on June 17, 1882.

It is hardly to be expected that Stravinsky at any time of his life would turn to the symphonic style in its truly classical sense. The Symphony in Three Movements has few road signs of sym-phonic tradition. In the general con-struction there are approximations of sonata form, "development", if Stra-vinsky's personal way of manipulation can be so-called, and recapitulation.

The "slow movement" has something similar to the song form of middle sec-tion and return. The finale has a series of sections that might be called varia-tions, a brief fugato in Stravinskyan counterpoint, and a close suggesting a coda.

Ingolf Dahl, Stravinsky's close friend who was entrusted by him to provide an analysis for the first performance in New York, (January 24, 1946) calls this symphony "the exact opposite of tra-ditional symphonic form. In this new work there is no sonata form to be ex-pounded, there is no development of closely defined themes, which would be stated, restated, interlocked, combined and metamorphosized, as symphonic themes are wont to be. Here, on the contrary, we have another example of that additive construction, for the in-vention of which Stravinsky is justly famous and which has proved so in-fluential on the younger composer."

Mr. Stravinsky, asked on the occa-sion of the New York first performance which he was to conduct to make some remark about his new symphony, wrote as one who is pressed for an ex-planation and is willing to oblige but who has actually nothing helpful to say: "This Symphony has no program, nor is it a specific expression of any given occasion; it would be futile to seek these in my work. But during the process of creation in this our arduous time of sharp and shifting events, of despair and hope, of continual tor-ments, of tension and, at last, cessation and relief, it may be that all those repercussions have left traces in this Symphony. It is not I to judge."

It would require a poet of great skill and still greater assurance to attempt a translation of Mallarme's rhymed couplets, his complex of suggestions, his "labyrinth," as he himself called it, "ornamented by flowers." We shall therefore refrain, and quote the faithful synopsis (quite unsuperseded) which Edmund Gosse made in his Questions at Issue:

"This is what I read in it. A faun, a simple, sensuous, passionate being, wakens in the forest at daybreak and tries to recall his experience of the previous afternoon. Was he the fortu-nate recipient of an actual visit from nymphs, white and golden goddesses, divinely tender and indulgent? Or is the memory he seems to retain nothing but the shadow of a vision, no more substantial than the 'arid rain' of notes from his own flute? He cannot tell. Yet surely there was, surely there is, an animal whiteness among the brown reeds of the lake that shines out yonder. Were they, are they, swans? No! But Naiads plunging? Perhaps! Vaguer and vaguer grows that impres-sion of this delicious experience. He would resign his woodland godship to retain it. A garden of lilies, golden-headed, white-stalked, behind the trellis of red roses? Ah! the effort is too great for his poor brain. Perhaps if he selects one lily from the garth of lilies, one benign and beneficent yielder of her cup to thirsty lips, the memory, the ever-receding memory may be forced back. So when he has glutted upon a bunch of grapes, he is wont to toss the empty skins in the air and blow them out in a visionary greediness. But no, the delicious hour grows vaguer; ex-perience or dream, he will never know which it was. The sun is warm, the grasses yielding; and he curls himself up again, after worshipping the effica-

"PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION" $ 0H By Modest Petrovitch Moussorgsky

Born in Karevo, March 21, 1839; died in St. Petersburg, March 28, 1881.

Arranged for Orchestra by Maurice Ravel

Moussorgsky composed his suite of piano pieces on the impulse of his friendship for the architect Victor Hartmann, after the posthumous ex-hibit of the artist's work which im-mediately followed his death.

"Hartmann is bubbling over, just as Boris did," wrote Moussorgsky to his friend Stassov, while at work upon his "Pictures at an Exhibition." "Ideas, melodies, come to me of their own accord, like the roast pigeons in the story — I gorge and gorge and over-eat myself. I can hardly manage to put it down on paper fast enough."

Moussorgsky, so his friends have said, was seldom moved to exuberance over his work — was more often in-clined to anxious questionings in such confidences. As a matter of fact, both the subject and the moment were just right to draw forth the very best from Moussorgsky's genius. He was deeply moved by the death of his artist friend, and his music was at its best when quick, graphic characterization was called for.

The pictures are not all that the music might lead one to expect. The design for a gate at Kiev, for example, was not nearly so massive as the tonal architecture of Moussorgsky. The com-poser evidently looked upon the draw-ings with the indulgent eye of friend-ship. Hartmann's heavy insistence upon Slavic allusions was quite in accord with the nationalistic creed of the circle which took him to its bosom. His free play of fantasy and ornamental use of the grotesque, in what might be called "Slavic gingerbread," quite en-

cious star of wine, that he may pursue tranced Moussorgsky, and set him the dubious ecstasy into the more hope- . 14 Jone-gathering in a similar vein of ful boskages of sleep." 10"piquant fantasy.

"HOW TO PLAN YOUR FAMILY'S FINANCIAL

ROT EC TI ON"

... is the title of a recent publi-cation of our Trust Department in which we show how several in-dividuals, in different types of family situations, provided last-ing financial protection for their families . . . and at the same time saved significant amounts of estate and inheritance taxes.

We think you would find this booklet both interesting and in-formative in connection with your own family estate planning. If you would like a copy, call Mr. Dickinson at our Head Office, CH 9-6481, or Mr. Greene at our West Hartford Office, AD 6-3585.

ning's present touring show are de-lighted by a non-expected bit of stage business. After the curtain comes down, the star sits on the edge of the stage for an informal session with the cus-tomers, signing autographs and answer-ing questions. According to New York World-Telegram columnist, Frank Far-rell, they love it.

dance called the Twist is New York's Roseland, on the grounds: "It is lack-ing in true grace . . . it is merely a fad which will have no permanent place in American dancing and is a moderniza-tion of the Shimmy." No quite so dedicated to dignity on the dance floor, a number of other New York clubs and ballrooms are attracting big crowds by providing music by which to perform the Twist.

Want something really deluxe in the way of gifts? Here it is. Continental Records is putting out a disk package including a platinum-finished record boxed in a custom-made silversmith's case, containing the only recorded per-formance of Georges Enesco conducting his own compositions. Only 1,000 of these packages will be marketed and proceeds will go to the non-profit International Foundation for Music Appreciation, of which Charles Munch is chairman. Oh, the price? Just $1,007.50, including tax.

William Schuman, composer and president of the Juilliard School of Music, has been chosen president of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, succeeding General Maxwell D. Taylor, the appointment effective next January 1. The $102,000,000 Lincoln Center (it still needs $30,000,000 to reach its goal) will house the New York

Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera, the Juilliard School and several theaters.

Anent that $30,000,000 still needed to complete Lincoln Center: those so minded can endow an orchestra seat in any of the Center's six halls and theaters for $1000, a loge seat for $2500, and a gift of $5000 endows one with wheelchair facilities. A plaque carrying the donor's name will be attached to an endowed seat — but endowment of such a seat does not convey the privi-lege of its use.

Two films are in the making or plan-ning stages based on the career of Marco Polo. Jolly Films of Italy have completed principal photography for "The Great Adventure of Marco Polo" and will finish the picture with two weeks of location views in China. French producer Raoul Levy will start making his "Marco Polo" next year. Rory Calhoun is the hero of the Italian film; if his other commitments prevent him from going to China for the views there (says Variety magazine) "a double will be used in the Far East lensing with Calhoun processed into pic later in labs."
