Paul Fauchet's Symphony in B-Flat was the major presentation of the evening, and despite some problems in execution, the performance justified Walker's decision to revive this little known composition. Though uneven, lacking in cohesion, and at times rambling, the symphony has some memorably melodic and dynamic passages...
...profit climb has continued because of the happy conjunction of strong demand, stable costs and increased productivity-and economists are as pleased about it as executives. But their optimism was somewhat tempered last week by uneven reports on the economy's performance in August: though personal income rose to a record annual rate of $465 billion, manufacturers' new orders slid 2%, and industrial production fell a point to 125.6% of the 1957-59 average-due largely to the auto industry's shutdown for model changeovers. Washington's experts expect that production will pick up speed with...
...resemblance between the Mexico of today and Mexico in its volatile, revolutionary infancy is largely sentimental. Just as old hat is thinking of Mexico as a peon in a huge sombrero, dozing against an adobe wall. Mexico's progress is uneven, and its political system is still a tightly held, one-party regime; but Mexicans keep industrializing, and a stable middle class is more and more influential. Each year, as the economic milestones flick by, the country takes a festive day off to hear the President report on just how far it has come; last week President Adolfo Lopez...
Perhaps Hill will speed the production up in spots, or find some device to communicate the tension now missing. But I doubt if he can do too much with Miss Gerety, who gives a distressingly uneven performance. She is powerful while seized with madness in the final scene, when she is alone on the stage, but unconvincing both as a brash schoolgirl and as a discarded girlfriend. Franklin Johnson's Jim is adequate, but not commanding enough to save Miss Gerety's poorer scenes. He hardly ever rises to the level of high passion O'Neill demands...
...statistical gain over 1960. Walter Gieseking and Sviatoslav Richter are the leading pianists, with 46 recordings each; Richter had only 19 three years ago, and, having made the biggest jump of any instrumentalist, he is now being denounced as a musical prostitute for turning out such a long and uneven list of recordings. David Oistrakh is beginning to slip from record shelves, but with 70 of his recordings available, he still has nearly twice as many as Jascha Heifetz, the next most popular fiddler. E. Power Biggs leads the organists, and the cellist with the largest recorded repertory is Janos...
