'Freedom Sings' Concerts Open; Agi Jambor Plays With Symphony

By Alice Eversman The first of the “Freedom

Sings” concerts to mark the cele- bration of Washington's Sesqui- centennial year was given in the Departmental Auditorium last night by the Army Band, with Capt. Hugh Curry conducting. It

j was a gala affair dedicated to Delaware, the first State to sign

j the Constitution, and featuring Helen Jepson, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, as soloist. Present for the occasion were the Governor of Delaware and Mrs. Elbert N. Carvel, Secretary of State Harris D. McDowell, Sena- tor and Mrs. Joseph Allen Frear, jr., and Representative and Mrs. James Caleb Boggs.

After the American flag and that of Delaware were placed on each side of the stage with a

i fanfare and the National Anthem sung, witlf Capt. Curry's fine tenor leading, the Band opened the pro-

igram with Goldman's march, “The Chimes of Liberty.” Freedom was the theme of the announcer’s comments before each number, as

when he spoke of the liberty in education and said Brahms’ “Aca- demic Festive Overture” would be played in salute to the teachers of this Nation. In describing Cowell’s “Shoonthree” and the “Pavanne” from Gould's “Amer- ican Symphonette No. 2,” Amer- ican composers’ tribute in their freedom to the Old World was noted.

Miss Jepson, stunningly gowned m black velvet, was given an ovation on her entrance. She sang the “Vissi d’arte” from Puccini’s “Tosca” and Bizet’s ‘‘Ouvre ton coeur” for her first selections, returning later for the “Un bel di” aria from “Madama Butterfly” and “Summertime” from Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess.” The beautiful quality of her voice, its purity and range, was displayed effectively in these numbers.

-The Band gave spirited per- formances of its part of the pro- gram with well designed con- trasts in “Shoonthree” and in the "Pavanne.” The Army Band Chorus, directed by Lt. Samuel Loboda, was heard near the end in “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from “Carousel” and Luther’s “A Mighty Fortress is Our God,”

with the audience asked to join in.

Gov. Carvel made a short ad- dress, telling of the courage re- quired by the inhabitants of Delaware to make the mpmen- tous decision of signing the Con- stitution. He was introduced by Senator Holland of Florida. The “Freedom Sings” will be 13 in number, each honoring one of the original States. The Army Band will be heard each week on these programs with “name” soloists.

Agi Jambor, Hungarian pianist, scored one of the notable successes

of the season on her appearance last night as soloist with the Na- tional Symphony. In exception- ally fine form, she played Bach’s “Concerto in D minor” brilliantly while bringing to it a special in- sight into its quieter beauty. Among the good-sized audience in Constitution Hall were many ad- mirers of the young artist, who has given several recitals in this city. She was one of the few soloists who responded with an encore to the recalls, one of which was to received an armful of floral trib- utes.

Sensitively attuned to the style of Bach, she understands its in- nate variety as well as its vigor. Her playing is free and in the first movement she embellished it with a lovely legato and with fine gradation of tonal power that made it vital and alive. In the short cadenza, she found means of varying her touch in the runs

that was highly effective. The liquid quality of her tone came to the fore in the “Adagio” and her fine sense of phrasing. The thrills were clear and vibrant and the final movement was set forth with plasticity of form. The Orchestra abetted the artist in every shading and together the performance was

exceptional for its flowing line and variety brought to it.

New to the Orchestras reper- toire were the overture of Cheru- bini’s “Anacreon.” played as open- ing number, and Prokofieff’s “Symphony No. 5,” with which the program concluded. The “Symphony” presented many problems w'hich in the main were met with marked success in How- ard Mitchell’s conducting. The general outline of the work was well integrated and a feeling for its subtle meaning was evident. The complexity of form and idea in the first movement offered dif- ficulties from the interpretive side but from this point on the playing was more clarified and the con- viction more pronounced.

The scope and intensity of the “Symphony” require still greater penetration than was found last night. Technically, and in the character of the dynamics, it was excellently done, but what lurks beneath the musical pattern could have been revealed more strongly and more emotionally. It is not only an unusually serious work from Prokofieff’s pen but carries its definite idea almost uninter- ruptedly from beginning to end. Because of its substance, it could be heard more frequently with profit.
