Page 4 The Battalion Friday Afternoon, February 8, 1946 Town Hall Audience Enjoys String Quartet But Wants More Bannerman By Stan Self Town Hall presented another of its spring entertainment features in Guion Hall Wednesday night with a joint recital by the Gordon String Quartet, headed by Jacques Gordon, and the charming and skill ful young harpist, Lois Banner- man. A short program, consisting of only six selections and two en cores, featured Miss Bannerman’s hauntingly ethereal harp playing only once, in Debussy’s Danse Sa- cre and Danse Profane, for harp and string quartet. In the Saint- Saens Fantasie for Violin and Harp, the harp was demonstrated to be every bit as articulate an accompanying instrument as its outgrowth the piano. The fact that Miss Bannerman had such a minor role in the recital prompted many to inquire how she could be brought back again, as the feature attrac tion. The string quartet, composed of Jacques Gordon at first violin, Michael Kuttner, second violin, Kras Malno, viola, and Gabor Ret- jo, cello, did particularly well with Quartet in E minor, by Smetana.

Their interpretation of this • emo tional work was excellent, especi ally in the reminiscent and melan choly third movement love scene. However, much of the quartet’s tonal quality was swallowed up by the poor acoustical arrangement of Guion Hall. Nothing could detract from Miss Bannerman’s beauty, her graceful and expressive hands, or her con summate skill in producing the twanging but not unpleasant sooth ing melodies. Also, the audience, predominantly campus families, were greatly impressed by the quartet’s admirable interpretation and skillful synchronization. The program also included Quartet in One Movement, by Schu bert, Lonely Shepherd, by the lit tle known English composer Speaight, Scherzo, by Mendel sohn, and two encores, Bach Goes to Town, by Alec Templeton, attd the old familiar Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes.
