Audience Listens to Orcutt Piano Recital With Enthusiasm
The annual recital of Ruth Orcutt, pianist, drew an enthusiastic audience to Fraser theater last night for a concert that was breezy, buoyant, and invigorating. Miss Orcutt's ease of performance and deep feeling for the music were particularly impressive.
Miss Orcutt began her program with the "Allegro Vivace" from Bach's "Toccata in G Major," which was intensely alive and set a mood for the selections that followed. She followed this interpretation with the melodious "Chorale-Preludes" (Brahmss-Busoni).
In the fast-moving "Perpetual Motion," Carl A. Preyer's transcription of Weber, Miss Orcutt possessed a sense of touch and speed and cool competence. In contrast followed her fine interpretation of the slow-moving "Prelude, Chorale and Fugue" (Franck).
The next group was from the French and Spanish composers. The light-hearted, "Mandolinata" (Paladilhe-Saint-Saens) and the short "Bolero" (Turina) were well-received by the audience. "The Wine-Gate" No. III from Preludes, Book II) by Debussy gave an imaginative touch to the program. "The Valley of Bells" (Ravel) lent a more serious beauty.
Sweeping into the last group Miss Orcutt played the rhythmic "Polka de W.R." (Rachmaninoff). After it, she played the popular and delicate "The Musical Snuffbox" by Liadoff.
The brilliant "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12" (Liszt) was one of the most distinctive offerings on the program. Miss Orcutt's mastery of technique and interpretation of the number captivated the attention of the audience.
With its applause, the audience called Miss Orcutt back to the stage several times. The pianist received bouquets during and after the performance.
Next on the School of Fine Arts calendar will be Artur Rubinstein, pianist, who will play on the University Concert Course at 8:20, Jan. 13 in Hoch auditorium.
