Last week, for the first time, Manhattan critics got to hear Koussy's wonder boy. For his Town Hall debut, Norman's program was by no means all apple pie: a Handel sonata, a Bach partita for unaccompanied violin, two difficult Paganini caprices. By the time he was halfway through the Handel, critics were wondering at the sureness of his phrasing and rhythmic pulse. When he had finished with the Paganinis and a blazing performance of Sarasate's tricky Zigeunerweisen, there was no question about the finish of his technique. Twenty-year-old Norman Carol was more...
Last spring he took the baritone part in the performance by the Glee Club and Radcliffe Choral Society of Handel's "L'Allegro and Il Penseroso." He also sang with them in "The Messiah" this fall and with the Polyphonic Choir in Mozart's Mass in C-Minor at Trinity Church. Last month he played the role of Polyphemus in the Lowell House Opera, "Acis and Galatea...

The crystal chandeliers shone down on powdered wigs, hoop skirts, and velvet-coats, as the Lowell House Musical Society revived Handel's pastoral opera, "Acis and Galatea." Baroque chairs and cabinets had replaced the High Table, and behind them hung an elaborate tapestry of the best Watteau variety. Two red canopies and scattered Georgian pilasters completed the picture...
...Cambridge for more than a year does not need to read praise of his magnificent voice. This was, however, the first time I had seen him act (pose in this case in probably a better word), and D'Oyly Carte's Mikado never excelled him in evil expression. Handel's bass arias are distinguished for the acrobatics they demand. Tibbetts showed his complete competence, however, and some breath control that I haven't heard surpassed...
...expensive section of the Bellboy dining hall will take on all the glitter of the diamond horseshoe for the performance of Handel's "Acis and Galatea." James Perrin '50 and Marguerite Willauer of the New England Conservatory of Music will sing the title roles of John Gay's libretto. Paul Tibbets '45, who has been something of a fixture in musical circles here since the pre-war era himself, will be Polyphemus while June Donald of the Longy School will sing Dalmon...
