Cincinnati Orchestra Offers Precision, Beauty In Concert
The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra offered a concert as pleasing for its rich, warm beauty of sound as for its crisp precision last night in Hoch Auditorium.
By Tom Winston
Conductor Max Rudolf's way with the Mozart overture was graceful and bubbling. The nearly 2,000 in the audience returned enthusiastic applause.
University audiences are seldom privileged to hear an orchestra with a sound so well blended that they can forget there are brasses, woodwinds, strings and percussion and be aware only of the magic of the music.
THE PROGRAM INCLUDED Mozart's "Overture to The Marriage of Figaro," Howard Hanson's "Fifth Symphony (Sinfonia Sacra)," Richard Strauss's tone poem "Death and Transfiguration" and Prokofieff's "Fifth Symphony."
The Hanson symphony is a musical pictorial of Hanson's views on the resurrection of Christ. The piece
is interesting from standpoint of orchestral colors, but it also seems like sort of a synthetic "Mathis der Maler."
THE ORCHESTRA USED both power and delicacy when it needed them, as in "Death and Transfiguration."
There were two encores: a Slavonic dance by Dvorak and the "Tritsch-Tratsch Polka" by Johann Strauss Jr. Rudolf seemed to enjoy every measure he conducted.
the Robert Joffrey Ballet, the Goldovsky Opera Company doing Puccini's "Tosca," the San Antonio Symphony under Victor Allesandro, and pianist Ralph Votapek.
THE PROGRAM CLOSED the Concert Course for this year. The Concert Course events for next year are Contralto Maureen Forster,
The Prokofieff sypmhony, which closed the program, was exciting. The orchestra's virtuosity showed itself here especially. Mr. Rudolf had fine control of musical tension and release, and it was a thrilling experience to watch him work.
Mr. Rudolf's technique was not flashy. He used an economy of motion and he made great music.
