...Haydn's Symphony in C Minor (Le Midi) began the program. This work, one of the less-often heard of Haydn's symphonies, has an unusual musical structure--one of the movements is marked "recitative," and consists of a dialogue between solo violin and orchestra. There is also an extended duet for solo violin and 'cello, during which the other instruments remain silent. Concertmaster Daniel Musher and 'cellist Sigrid Lemlein played these passages adequately, althought Musher's intonation was sometimes weak and his phrasing lacked clear articulation.

...Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony is so called because, after 15 bars of charming, tinkling music, the whole orchestra suddenly crashes into a shattering fortissimo chord. But as played in a British Columbia album, the symphony contains several surprises not in Haydn's score, including snatches from old-style Chicago jazz records, an ocarina solo and a septet of bottles-five hot-water and two beer...

The recordings are the fruits of a plan...
...each concert a different well-known flutist is invited to perform, either solo or in chamber-music ensembles, e.g., last week Claude Monteux, son of the conductor, accompanied by Composer Henry Brant at the piano, in a program of new and traditional works, including Milhaud's Sonatine, a Haydn Sonata in G and Brant's own Partita in C. Why there should be such a persistent demand for a flute club-as opposed to clarinet clubs or bassoon clubs-not even the club officers have been able to determine.
