Orff's Carmina consists of settings of two dozen medieval Latin and German poems on the subjects of fate, spring, drinking, gambling, and love. All the performers summoned plenty of vitality, and there was fine solo singing by Aletha Munro, soprano; Robert Patterson, bass; and Charles A. Campbell, tenor. The audience was wild in its approval. Personally, however, I found that this work does not wear well at all. It is monotonous, and its unvaried strophic repetitions soon become tiring. Only in the short, lyrical "In Trutina" (No. 21), for soprano solo, did Orff touch greatness...
While on the way home, Ike had worked over his TV speech to the nation this week. The tenor of the speech was that Ike felt that his trip was considerably better than "pretty good."

Actually, businessmen agreed that the summit explosion came just when the market was due for a rise, and just when the mood of U.S. businessmen was changing. Says Chevrolet Boss Edward N. Cole: "The pessimism about our economic health which prevailed just a few weeks ago has largely disappeared. There...
...Farewell" ("My heart is still and waits for its deliverance"). Walter's intense performance last week wonderfully illuminated the score's leafy detail, and the orchestra under his baton played with an ardor and mellow tone it rarely displays. As for Contralto Forrester (ably joined by Tenor Richard Lewis), her velvet-piled voice floated over the orchestra with effortless power, adapting itself in a remarkable range of nuances to the work's shadow-flittery moods...
