...Philharmonia offered an intriguing contrast of styles, periods, and pieces. In the opening work, The Concerto Grosso, Op. 6 No. 1 of Corelli, Alexander Schneider, who conducted, doubled as principal violin in the concertino. The work went along smoothly, indeed brilliantly, but the wisdom of Mr. Schneider's decision to combine roles is dubious. Unfortunately, the orchestra had a tendency, especially in the first movement, to enter just a fraction of a beat behind him, a problem which would not have cropped up if he were not playing. Nonetheless, it was a fine performance, with especially good work by cellist...
...talent quite well. There were a few problems with the performance, however. Wright had some slight mechanical problem with his instrument from the second movement on, which forced him to reduce the dynamic level of the performance somewhat. The notes from G through B' emerged sounding a bit strained. Schneider, who has a tendency to rush into the beginning of a movement, and then gradually slow down, caught Wright off guard at the beginning of the third movement and was forced to start over. But these were minor annoyances, not major defects. In fact, the Philharmonia's performance...
...Your Chile story [Nov. 2] has an alarmist and overall negative slant that obscures the solidarity, caution and inner confidence that General Schneider's assassination tested and seemingly proved. It is a time for maximum sensitivity and understanding from the North. The potential for growth of a democracy in Latin America is much more momentous than the foreseeable dangers of repressive leftism. A bumper sticker here says: "Ser Libre Es Participar [to be free is to participate]." This is what most of us believe in here, where I find in informed (non-American) sources guarded optimism and new purpose...
...lifted the state of emergency that had been in effect since the murder last month of the army commander, General René Schneider. Ten men have been charged in the case, including retired General Roberto Viaux Marambio, who led an abortive rightist army uprising in October 1969. Addressing 80,000 people at a football stadium later in the week, Allende described the assassination as an example of "the criminal lunacy of those who have always exploited the people." As for the future, "the anti-capitalist movement has assumed power in Chile," he said, and would swiftly create "a republic...
Much of this must be intuited, for the Chelsea Theater production is murky. Hampered by a pedestrian cast, Alan Schneider provides a dilatory directorial hand. He has not propelled the action in a proper tempo, and in order to let the lines sink in, he has let the play sink, but Saved almost saves itself. ∙T. E. Kalem
