Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 28, 1966, Winnipeg, Manitoba 170o notice to crib tors of steel limited in the of the bankruptcy o. 4 in d minor by Schumann and concerto Lor Molln and orchestra in d minor whal threatened to be a rather dreary evening of music making was quite handily res cued from being so by the brilliance polish and technical Savoir Faire of the guest soloist Ruggiero Ricci. His performance of the Sibelius violin concerto deservedly won acclaim from the audience Al though in fact the Diamond hard cutting Edge of his playing together with his ardent and on occasion forceful avowal of the music approached exaggeration. Rhapsodic Al in its nature the concerto is the least characteristic of Sibelius s master works. It is essentially a lyrical piece at times sentimental As for example the opening subject pronounced by tie Solo violin. Tender and sentimental material alternates with the robust to give variety of mood and character to the first move ment. The opening indeed was beautifully done but soon a rather hard hitting chipped Bow ing technique became apparent. It was far too strenuous Anil angular to be entirely satisfactory although As display the technique was naturally Brilliant sounding. The Elan of or. Ricci s attack kept the fragmentary orchestral writing on the move and connected. There was Good tone from the cellos but several of the oboe entries seemed far too loud and harsh. That or. Ricci could also play poetically was manifested in the adagio where his rhapsody zing Over subdued colors was softly and sensually rendered. The final Rondo utilizing thematic subjects of characteristically finnish design again brought Forth an excess of clipped even biting tone that was disconcert ing. It was technically Superb playing but unnecessarily harsh at times. Even so the concerto did Hovver Markle a governor of the.

Elod Macskassy of Vancou make its effect in telling strokes both the soloist and in some measure from the Orch estra. That i m afraid is a great Deal More than can be said of the Schumann sym phony. After the orchestra s quite acceptable performance of the Dvorak symphony no. 4 at the opening rather desultory Reading came As distinct disappointment. It is True that this work presents difficulties that Are not easily overcome. The Bane of Schumann s Orch estra style is its thickness and heaviness and resulting from it often an opaque murky color caused in part by his superfluous doublings of the inner parts and his injudicious use of brass for inner pedals and especially in this work rhythmic accentuation. All of these observations Are Well known but they do a conductor what can be done to make the often striking and attractive thematic invention flow freshly and evenly the thickness was virtually unrelieved the brass accentuation were too heavy and the rhythmic Bounce hardly Ever got off the ground. To be sure there were some Good individual effects and the playing had a commendable neatness but in could t disguise a poverty of interpretative skill. The concert began with a solid and generally sound read ing of the Corelli concerto Grosso in f Complete with harpsichord Continuo. It was what one might Call a decently straight performance All the obvious dynamics were observed. But the individual lines were Seldom infused with any real verve or freshness of approach. The Gay sections fared better on the whole but this attractive piece needed a Deal More sensitivity and Savity than it received. As an encore or Ricci played the celebrated Paganini Caprice no. 24.
