Such is Jordan's mood toward the men it calls fedayeen -the Arabic word for freedom fighters. Though he has in the past often declared his opposition to the terrorists King Hussein last week changed his tune, defended 'those who struggle against Israelis occupying Arab territory. But to a population that is 60% Palestinian, 100% Arab-and sick to death of being humbled by Israeli planes and tanks-the fedayeen already have become national folk heroes. Accounts of their successful sabotage missions are headlined in the press. Photographs portraying their martyred dead are plastered all over Amman...
Clarke's technique is similar to Andy Warhol's photographic silk-screen caricatures in that it is based on elementary colors laid one atop another. But unlike Warhol, Clarke actually seems tp like colors that harmonize, and he keeps them in tune. The silky gown of Charpentier's Mile. Charlotte is reduced to four shades of grey, but they balance precisely.

...racing notes melt into an indistinguishable blur. In every case he clearly solved the problem of extracting the melodic line from a morass of notes and floating it above the cleanly formed accompaniment. His facility was most clearly demonstrated in the familiar "Aeolian Harp" Etude where the simple tune--played entirely by the pinky of the right hand--holds forth against a feathery arpeggiated figure. Success here requires no more than complete control of the hands and a little extra thought in the practice room...
...strong, rhythmic Schubert's Third Symphony opened Saturday evening's program; basses and celli played with striking clarity, and the string sound was alive and tuned. The last three movements were less compeling in rhythm than the first, and the winds were often out of tune, but these were minor obstacles to the emotional realization of the music, which was always there...
