Rafael Brown, a French-horn player from Israel, said, “Touring is a tough thing to do. Traveling hun dreds of miles and playing in the same day . . . It’s a time of work, but I try to jday the best way I can. Backstage after the concert, or chestra members met with a group of local people who also speak Hun garian. Many of the musicians do not speak English. “We re having a wonderful time in Texas,” said Balint Vazsonyi, guest pianist for the tour. The six- week North American tour cele brates the 20th anniversary of the orchestra’s “reformation” and Vaz- sonyi’s debut. “Texas crowds, for some strange reason, are very re served. Judging from the applause and curtain calls, tonight would have been a fiasco. But it wasnt’s. The people liked it. We know they did,” Vazsonyi said. The 76-member orchestra gained unity and force through the evening and ended strongly with Tchaikov sky’s “Romeo and Juliet, Overture- Fantasy.” Rozsnyai is guest conductor of the orchestra he founded in December, 1956, after the unsuccessful Hunga rian Revolution. He traveled to Switzerland and America, trying to raise money for his expatriated or chestra. Just before Christmas Eve, 1956, he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and said he needed $100,000 for the orchestra. Directors of the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations were watching and about a month later gave the orchestia $100,000, and continued the gifts for five years. The successful orchestra now makes world tours and is based in West Germany. Rozsnyai is musical director for the Los Angeles, Calif., Opera Orchestra. Tuesday’s program began with Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, in G Minor, a somber and dark piece. The strings seemed to hesitate in the first movement, slipping into the piece instead of joining deci sively. Next, Beethoven’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 4, featur- ing pianist Vazsonyi, flowed boldly and happily from the stage. Vaz- sonyi’s trills and rolls up and down the scales showed sensitivity and delicate touch. At times, when he wasn’t playing, he glared at the or- chestra, taunting them to play while he swayed slowly on the niann bench. After intermission, the 80 percent Hungarian orchestra played “Dances from Marosszek” by Zoltan Kodaly, a modern Hungarian com poser. Billed as orchestration of tra ditional folk dances, the piece sagged sadly and became morbid in spots. The somewhat happier and faster “ethnic” parts were enjoy able, but overall the orchestra played darkly. Recreating Skakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet, ” the concert ended on a strong note. Friar Lawrence’s theme, hymn-like and solemn, began the star-crossed lovers’ story. Fighting in the streets, the mood of the second part, featured powerful brawls among timpani drum and horns over a serious undercurrent of strings. The more familiar theme of the young lovers, highlighted by harp, came together easily. Strings, clarinets and other woodwinds sig naled the ending of the tragedy as Romeo rushed back to Juliet and made his fatal mistake. Too late, the Friar returned via clear, full orchestration and plead ingly turned to another hymn-like tune, as for forgiveness. Mustering all its power and strength, the or chestra gave its conducting “ father’’ the final fulfilling cap-note of the performance with feeling and pride. _ • • if • people keep • • telling you to • • quit smoking * • cigarettes * • don’t listen ... • • • • they’re • • probably trying to «* *• trick you * *• * nto •* living .* AMERICAN CANCER .
