BELL TELEPHONE HOUR (NBC, 6:30-7:30 p.m.). "An Easter Greeting: Selections from Handel's Messiah,'" performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, featuring Soprano Phyllis Curtin, Contralto Maureen Forrester and Tenor Richard Lewis from the Red Rocks Amphitheater near Denver...

The modest orchestra da chiesa contained some of Harvard's most respected undergraduate musicians. Of the four soloists, soprano Carlotta Wilsen conducts the Radcliffe Freshmen Chorus, tenor Henry Gibbons is the music tutor of Lowell House, and bass David Ripley is a freshman.

Sorensen was especially fine, floating without apparent effort over long lines almost continuously in his highest register. Hester was stronger in "Ihr Menschen" than in "Ich bin ein guter Hirt," in which there were moments when he was almost covered by the orchestra. Penelope Ann Colwell and Cynthia Weinrich...
