THE SUNDAY STAR, W ASHINGTON, D. JANUARY Q B 1, 1932—PART FOUR. Philadelphia Orchestra To Go Modern Again in Third Concert of Series Fritz Reiner to Lead All-Russian program—vHans Kindler Is Extolled for His Work as Leader of National Symphony. By E. de S. Melcher. HE Philadelphia Orchestra is taking its moderns very much to heart this season After a flaming, raucous, thoroughly noisy concert, under the eminent Stokowski, played so cerlessly that even the worst musical blasts had their particu- we are informed that phians will again pre- sent a progr: of ultra moderns. th: this will be interpreted 10 less an authority than Fritz er when this orchestra comes February 9 act that we have had one of Lopatnikoff, Milhaud, sky and Moussorgsky with- short memo space, seems not to deter this group one whit from coming back and giving us something of the same. Again it will be strictly Russ nd apart from the Tschaikow ‘B Flat Concerto No. 1,” to be played by Vladimir Horowitz, will consist of 1 ture from the opera and Ludmilla,’ by Ivanovich a: the X’ Symphony in D by Sergievich Prokofieff. e Strawinsky suite from the ballet “Petrouchka.” Somehow or other this balanc- of programs seems unjust. Philadelphia Orchestra this season in Washington, w forming as brilliantly as evoking the usual storm of pr A has, nevertheless, been accused of try to “practice” on us. The first program was distinctly chaic, th last flamboyantly mode and the third certainly| akin to its predecessor. Many patrons of this distinguished or- ganization feel that it is high time some of the more eminent “clas: ics” were being performed again- having complained of being well- nigh exploded from their seats by | the strife and torment of the fac- tory and percussion music in the vious concert and the general ng of nerve energy before the evening over. In fact,| one *mxht say that one of the t musical relaxations s come to us all season when the National Sym- played the lyric and ro-| ¢ “Romeo and Juliet” music under the suddenly inspired di-| rection of Hans Kindler. It comes, then, as something of a treat to hear that when Dr. Koussevitzky makes his only ap- pearance here this week he will bring with him, instead of a trunkful of moderns, the Brahms ourth Symphony” and the Corelli's suite, as well as Mr. Tcherepnine’s “Eight Miniatures” F: Daphnis et Chloe” seems, in fact, like | a long day—which, of course, it is—since the week of the memorable Beethoven Festi- val, when the great doctor worked so hard to commemorate this member of the “big six” that by the time he got back to Beacon Hill he was definitely ill and had to lay up for a week or so before starting out on his musical work again ving of the incomparable rable pla benefit recitals, with Paderewski: Mr —perhaps Mr. Kindler’s perform- ances as a conductor and his at- tainments outside of his native city have been forgotten. Picking up a musical magazine |the other day, an article by Charles Edward Russell, author of the Pulizter prize winner, “The American Orchestra and Theo- dore Thomas,” caught the eye In this Mr. Russel said “The best industry in the United States today, the most siable in condi- tion and the surest in returns is music.” And, fucthermore, he continued as follows “Let us take the Nation’s Capital as one Ilustration of the persistence of this urge and its behavior in the midst of the financial typhoon. “For years Washington had no orchestra of its own, but was fa- vored with regular visits from outside bands of noblest renown Philadelphia, the New York Phi harmonic and Boston played sea- ons there, with now and, then Cleveland, Minneapolis or Cin- cinnati dropping in to swell the concord of sweet sound. Wise men said .hat these amply supplied the local demand for this form of uplift. Washington had no or- chestra, never could have one, never could need one. But ob- serve the inevitable workings of the popular mind. While these honored visitors were supplying the demand they were also aug- menting it ‘The more people heard of orchestra music the more grew their yearning for it. “At last came Hans Kindler, read the situation aright, assem: bled his band of players, ob- tained the necessary backing and launched the National Symphony Orchestra, playing a full season of afternoon, Sunday popular and children’s concerts, and making orips to nearby communities. Lo, in the face of the wise men, Washington has its own orches- tra, and firmly established! The people, diagnoted by stodgy wis- | dom as “fed up on orchestra,” re- sponded with avidity to the ap- | peal of a man not only musically expert, but mentally discerning.” This is an appraisal of what has happened under our very noses and a situation which some people still refuse to take seriously | Many still go to the National Symphony because they think it their patriotic duty, and others don’t go because they prefer to hear only “the best.” Mr. Kind- ler’s “musically expert, but men- tally discerning,” leadership has reached that point where the “best” is not far off. The orches- tra is at present a facile group, whose tone is true and touch is tried. It has gradually expanded into a single unit, whose rougher surfaces are being smoothed off as only time and practice can smooth them. It remains now only for the public to stick by its guns—to give this orchestra that support which it has remained for an out-of-towner to express so succinctly. Remember, Mr. Rus sell says: “Lo, in the face of the | wise men, Washington has its own orchestra, and firmly estab- lished!” lar virtues 1e Philad came phon It N the confusion of myriads of musical events—the incompa- Local Notes TROWBRIDGE TITT- bass, will assist Lewis Atwater, organist, in of Bach music at | Al Souls' Church, Sixteenth | rd streets, this afternoon at Mr. Tittmann will sing the | and aria for bass from the 'he Heavens Rejoice.” This | 1l be sung for the first time | # at the Bach festival in | hlehem this Spring, where Mr. Titt- n will again be one of the soloists. | | Rev.
