Tuesday night a very differ ent sound came to Rudder Tower in the form of the San Antonio Sym phony. Watching a symphony perform is like seeing a delicate, complex engine run. Each piece moves per fectly, at the exact moment and in complete harmony with all the other gears. This was the impression the San Antonio Symphony gave in its per formance of Beethoven’s “Sym phony Number 3 in E Flat Major, Op. 55,” (“Eroica”). It was very precise and profes sional, but a bit too much like a machine. Though the musicians Review were obviously excellent, they did not play with the depth or fervor which Beethoven deserves. This flaw, however, was not the fault of the conductor, Roger Melone. Melone is a highly acclaimed artist known for his direc tion of opera, symphony and ballet.

The Cadets performed as back ground to Brahm s “Rhapsody for Contralto,” sung by Jeanmarie Dot- son. The Century Singers presented the four part ‘‘Wedding Cantata” by Pinkham. The choirs were very good as they always are. The symphony merrtbers, who joined in applause, seemed as pleased and impressed by the choirs as the audience. For the finale, the Singing Cadets and the Century Singers crowded together on the stage behind the symphony to perform “Polovetsian Dances” from Borodin’s “Prince Igor.” This was by far the high point of the performance. The music was fast, intense, complex, and included big drums and a tambourine. The force of the lyrics (which were almost chanted at points) and the music created the atmosphere of the Russian folk camp celebration Borodin’s opera describes. The musicians and singers per- .
