Compact Of Luminosity The temper and the writing of this Berlioz score are compact of luminosity. The music shines upon the ear and the spirit.

One does not have to listen long to hear all the orchestral and vocal imagination and eloquence of Berlioz at work all over again, different as the dramatic impact may be from The Requiem. The great composer was right when he said of "L'Enfance," "The good people of Paris say I have altered my style. It is unnecessary to teli you that I have only changed my subject." And it was just such a light- and-shining performance that we had last night. Mr.

Mahler set out tne worK with the utmost refinement of spirit and transparency of statement. Its very delicacy became its strength. The orchestra played with gleaming perfection.

They had been eminently prepared by their own di rector, Edgar Wasilieff, as well as; by Mr. Mahler. This was a magical, mystical evening of music and performance.
