Kisses and tears out of the way, along with the Mass, it became President Richard Nixon's show the next night, when the Concert Hall-a far more tasteful room-opened with a performance by Conductor Antal Dorati and the city's National Symphony. The Nixons' guest was Mamie Eisenhower, who got a standing ovation from the audience-though probably few remembered that it was President Dwight D. Eisenhower, not J.F.K., who gave the Center its first impetus back in 1958 by pushing legislation through Congress...
With President Nixon in attendance, Conductor Antal Dorati and the National Symphony Orchestra went through a program of Beethoven, Mozart, Stravinsky and William Schuman that filled the center's concert hall with rich, vibrant and joyously reverberant highs, lows and middles. The opera house's acoustical turn came on Friday, with the premiere of Beatrix Cenci by Argentinian Master Alberto Ginastera. It was produced by the Opera Society of Washington. Brutal and bloody, the work runs a full gamut of orchestral and vocal sound. It proved beyond doubt that the opera house is one of the best-sounding...

Auspicious Strides. That Minneapolis was chosen to play the U.S. premiere of such a major work (TIME, Oct. 14, 1966) is attributable largely to the auspicious strides that Skrowaczewski has taken there in recent years. In 1960, when he was named Antal Dorati's successor on the Minneapolis podium, Skrowaczewski was the conductor of the Warsaw Philharmonic and a former avant-garde composer. He had made only a handful of guest appearances with U.S. orchestras and was practically unknown in the States. Nowadays his name is not only familiar and esteemed but also correctly pronounced (Skro-vah-cheff...
...Mercury). With a matinee idol's face and a technique that suggests a man breathing on filaments of silk rather than pounding a piano, Janis stands up to his Billboard ratings with these favorites. His gift for phrasing is remarkable and very much his own, and Antal Dorati and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra balance his sweetness with spirited orchestral reading...
