...Millar used to appear with his friend Mort Sahl, belting out pop songs in a voice vaguely reminiscent of Mario Lanza's. At the New York Philharmonic's first Saturday-night concert, Tenor Millar was sitting in a box at Carnegie Hall listening to Conductor-Pianist Leonard Bernstein conclude a fal tering performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1. Minutes later, and without warning, Millar was on the podium conducting the Philharmonic himself...
Minutes & Hours. Millar, 35, is one of three assistant conductors appointed by the Philharmonic this year. Although the orchestra formerly had a single assistant conductor, Bernstein decided a year ago to take on three promising younger men. His reason: young conductors have a hard time getting experience in the U.S. This fall, besides Millar, Bernstein chose Massachusetts-born Rus sell Stanger, 30, and Israeli-born Elyakum Shapira, 33. All three were in the hall at last week's concert when Bernstein walked offstage and announced that he was too ill to return to conduct the next scheduled work-Schumann...
...Bancroft and Patty Duke, dramatizes the brave, difficult relationship between blind and deaf-mute Helen Keller as a child and her teacher, Annie Sullivan; The Best Man, though superficial in characterization, provides a vivid theatrical look at campaigning politicians. Three musicals remain spicy and satisfying: West Side Story, Leonard Bernstein's brassy, big-city, 20th century Romeo and Juliet; Fiorello!, the nostalgic story of New York City's Little Flower; and Bye Bye Birdie, an enjoyable spoof of the rock-'n'-roll craze...
...Hawaii, the urge to go native overcame Conductor Leonard Bernstein on his 42nd birthday, so he stripped down for action and conducted a seashore luau on the island of Maui. Clad only in a slit-to-hip malo and a rakish palm hat, Bernstein entertained his entire New York Philharmonic Orchestra, which was flown over to Maui after two concerts under Bernstein's baton in Honolulu. During the day the mellowing boy wonder of music went waterskiing, stuffed himself with poi and other Hawaiian goodies, planted a coconut tree and got a raft of gifts, including a pass exempting...
...popular recognition begin to even the score. When Ives got the 1947 Pulitzer Prize (for a composition that lay unplayed in his West Redding, Conn, barn for more than 40 years), he was already 72. Last week, when the first American recording of his Second Symphony, performed by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic, was released by Columbia, the old man had been dead for six years...
