The Bartok Quartet was received by an enthusiastic audience last Friday night in Swarthout Recital Hall. Formed in 1924, the quartet champion the works of the late Hungarian composer Bela Bartok, the quartet has become one of the foremost on the international scene, and, judging from its self-recognition, is certainly deserving of this recognition.

Volinists Peter Komlos and Sander Devich, violist Gema Nethm, and cellist Karoly Bolvay are all technical masters of their instruments, but their ability to play as an ensemble is what makes them a great pleasure to hear.
The first work on the program was better. Quarter G. M. major. Milbaugh place, pieces.
represents Mozart's first attempt in the medium, it is not without the marks of genius in both design of melody and counterpoint. It is a piece of charming subtleties, which the Bartok Quartet played with exceptional deftness and sensitivity. The group gave the Andante cantabile a quintetting quintet that leaped and was with a youthful exuberance, although it never lost its air of dignity for a moment.
In the finale, however, the tone became one of a cheerful Allegro Hungarian style, which the quartet played well in a solid testimony to its flexibility.
The final offering of the night which, according to the quartet, was supposed to have been a piece by Bartok but which the program said was otherwise, (to the initial disappointment of myself and many others, the program was triumphant in its charge)

'Weather Report' Performed at Hoch
. . . Sparse crowd gave warm response
After being called back for bows three times, the musicians played an encore of Mozart's Minutoft from the "Hunt" Quartet. They displayed virtuosity on a set of loops, perfect intonation, and above all feeling for ensemble that is extremely rare.
'Weather Report'Plays Unpunctuated Sentence'
If there was a disappointment to the concert, it was only that they did not play the music of their namesake. What they did not do was give the audience. There cannot be any disappointment in that.
There are pleasant surprises in life and the Weather Report concert Friday night was one of them. The loyal juju buffs and adventurous newcomers who didn't quite know the floor of Hoch responded warmly to the best performances given here this year.
The sami crowd waited patiently during a 50-minute delay that was caused by a transportation dilemma in New York. The anxious listeners shouted a spontaneous chant as they wandered through the stage. Leader Joe Zawinul stick a lit of incense and placed it on his electric piano while the other checked the working condition of their instruments. Weather Report amazed the crowd with its creative and intriguing early an hour before taking a short break.

While sipping on a little scotch and soda, Zeinil described what Weather Report was.
"What ever happens, man, we just play. We don't think about living or doing anything when we're out there, we just play as it comes," he said. Wayne Shorter, who played reeds, said the group's musical efforts were like an "unpunctuated sentence." Our music is a growing and building
quick departure from them," added Waveney.
THE SECOND SET was loaded with more improvisation by the talented artists, who kept the audience members enthralled with their intense sounds. Percussionist Dom Baker played instruments during the nights. He randomly picked up and shook, wiggled, scratched and scraped weird looking things spread on a table before him. Drummer Eric Grafft held his own superbly as the others blended their instruments to give a creative mix.
This began with two live, flirtatious movements full of surprising rhythms and impressionistic colorings. The third movement was a thick, night, was a thick, languid song of quiet lament, played flawlessly with a tone which filled every pore in the room. The final music is passionate and passionate, and at what the quiver set could have done I played it Bartok.
was the Quartet in G minor, Op. 10, by Claude Debussy.
Miroslay Vitus swapped back and forth from bass guitar to bass fiddle to supply the group with his own inventive efforts. Shorter and Zawiml complemented each other's playing as they filled in the rest of Weather Reef's explosive performance.
For those who were missed the concert or don't intend to look into this group your email address is not yet available.
WEATHER REPORT come their third album three days before Friday's concert. Much of the material they played Friday was from the album. When it is released on March 10, 1973 there will be quite a few albums sold to those who went to the concert at KU.
