Then lie led a diamond, losing king to the ace. Nobody said a i but when a kibitzer delicately holds his nose you can tell what he thinks of the way things arc going. Still, nothing went wrongi because the hand was unbeatable.

South ruffed the club return and ran his diamonds. West could take the queen of hearts when he liked, but the defenders could get nothing else. South won game and rubber, but no respect. A good player almost invariably sets up the side suit before drawing when both suits are shaky. If the side suit breaks badly, he will need trumps lo help set the suit up; if the break badly, he may need the long side suit to act as auxiliary trumps.

The danger of cashing the top before leading diamonds is a the player i the ace of diamonds may also have a i Q-J-x-x of trumps. If so, he will lake the ace of diamonds, draw all of the trumps and then run the clubs. Soullt is somewhat safer if he knocks out the ace of diamonds before touching the If he runs into a bad trump break he may slill go bin he has a belter chance lo make the contract or save a trick from the wreckage. RECORDS By JEFF DUFFIELD Perhaps more than any oilier single group, The Weavers were instrumental in creating the upsurge in folk music back in the 1950's. Their distinctive renditions of songs from America's past--sea chanties, work songs, western ballads and (lie like--fostered a whole new audience for the folk sound.

GREATEST HITS (Dccca) is a re-release in i a stereo of some of the songs the talented quartet became famous for. Each demonstrates the superb sense of expert phrasing, tone clarity, sensitivity and near flawless harmony of llie group. Members of Ihe i i a Weavers included Ronnie Gilbert, Fred Hellcrman, Lee Hayes and Pete Seeger, the latter having now become a noted folk singer in his own right. Orchestration on the album is provided by Gordon Jenkins and bis Orchestra. SELECTIONS include "Goodnight Irene," "On Top of Old Smoky," "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," "So Long," "Wimowch," "The Roving Kind," "Midnight Special," "Lonesome Traveler," Tzcna, Tzena," "Rock Island Line" and "The Wreck of the John The Cowsills, that a i group which has captured the hearts of the Icen crowd and a alike, have a fine new release i THE COWSILLS IIxII (MGM).

The album is filled i interesting numbers, i i I I I I "Goodlimc Charlie," "Anything Goes," "Don't Look Back," "Silver Threads and Golden Needles," and "Father." Making her first alburn recording effort a resounding success is vicacious Teresa Graves, one of the kooky cast members of television's "Laugh-In," The name of Ihc new release logically enough is simply TERESA A (Kirschner)." The songstress proves adept on both the rousing and the romantic. Her rendition of "Hey Jude" is excellent, as are "We're on Our Way," "My Chcrie Amour," "Everybody's a i and "A Time for Us." ANOTHER I A album lo the late, groat guitarist Wes has been released this one entitled EULOGY i needs to be added about the genius of Montgomery, a i a in the jazz field. Included this i a are some of Mi Montgomery's hit "Little Child," Cosa," "Sun Down," "Boss i rheodora "Golden Earrings," and "Moca Flor." A IN THE A (Vocation) is the a of Peggy Lee's newest which actually Is compilation of her previous successes. The litle song, of course, was written by Alec Wilder, while others included here arc by such great i as Cole Porlcr, Uodgcrs. and Hart, and Frank I.ocsscr.

Selections include "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Joey, Joey, Joey," "I i Know What Time It Was" and "There's a Small Hotel." Casals Conducts Mozart By PINCUS Mozart: Last Symphonies: No. 35 In "Haffncr," no. 3K in "Linz," no. 38 in "Prague," no. 39 in E- flat, no.

40 in G-minor, no. 41 in "Jupiter." Pablo Casals conducting the Marlboro Festival Orchestra and Festival Casals Orchestra of Puerto Rico. Columbia D3S 817. Of Mozarl's i symphonies only six date from his last ten years, a is bclwcen 1782 (the and 1788 with the final great trilogy. Such works dating from widely spaced years have no unity of expression or share no continuity of style.

Beethoven's concept of the symphony as a work to be addressed beyond Ihe specific occasion is only applicable in Mozart to Ihe "Prague" and the final three. Clearly the symphony didn't mean the same lo PAGE 34 Sunday One April 19, 1970 Express-News Beethoven and lo Mozart. The three a i works (nos. 35, 3C and 38) were composed for specific occasions, as their titles indicate. The "Prague" notably was written as a i to a city which was always more receptive lo his music; a Vienna or Salzburg.

The occasion for the a three has always been a mystery. It is doubtful if they were ever performed in Mozart's lifetime. Dating from 1788, the years of his deepest poverty and a i a i they form diverse, but very personal expressions. For live recordings, these performances como across unusually rich and clear; also there is very little audience noise. Casals has a close a i i and sympathetic identification wilh Mozart.

They are not the least genteel, but full-bodied and warm. The conducting is vigorous for a man over ninety. Orchestral sound is good; Ihc recordings arc successful in most every respect..
