...concert opened with the Vivaldi Concerto Grosso in D minor. A reduced HRO was ripieno--perhaps not reduced enough, since the string sound was still too lush for the style of the piece. In spite of numbers, however, the texture was clean and transparent; the violins showed good sectional discipline and accomplished exhilarating effects of terrace dynamics. Violin soloists Edgar Engelman and Marilyn Malpass had just enough brilliance and energy for Vivaldi and were effective in spite of some nervousness.

Tired from a round of business, which included the opening in Bangkok three weeks ago of a new, two-story headquarters for his $1.5 million...
...Lustrous, shining, glowing, majestic, lush, delicate, brilliant, glorious!" raved the Jackson Daily News. The improbable girl who brought those glories to Mississippi was Metropolitan Opera Soprano Leontyne Price, 40, making her first home-state appearance since 1963. Negroes are not often greeted so warmly in Mississippi, but the integrated crowd in Jackson Coliseum met Leontyne with a standing ovation at the start of the concert, interrupted her repeatedly with applause in the middle of song cycles-until she gently asked them to wait till the cycles were over. After that, Leontyne traveled to Atlanta to sing to a packed house...
