AMUSEMENT AMUSEMENT 6' IPERTORMANCE rot hud ay JULY 13, I9B3 MOVES ifp Adoration showers on Manilow $ilverstein, BSO inaugurate 3-part summer Mozart series By Ann Kolson Knight News Service i jfiy Stephen ji Cera ON MUSIC' Sometimes Mr. Manilow can't believe all the fuss. He grew up poor, scrawny and ugly in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. His father left when he wa.s 2. "I think I was average," he said.

"People saw talent in me way before I did. I never paid attention to the music; it was just there. I never thought it was anything special." At school he was voted top musician, but he never would have been voted the boy most likely to succeed at Eastern District High. No one could have predicted his more than 50 million records sold, 24 consecutive Top 40 hits, more than a million copies sold of each of his first 10 albums (two triple-platinums, one quadruple), five albums on the charts at one time (in 1978). And last winter he made Broadway box office history, selling out 12 shows in one day, with record-breaking gross ticket sales of $782,160.

His make-out music and upbeat tunes have become part of our pop culture, played at weddings, on airplanes, in elevators. They are sung in cocktail lounges and in talent shows across America. Barry Manilow doesn't always write the songs that make the young girls cry; often they are the work of other songwriters. A list of his biggest hits includes both "Mandy," "It's a Miracle," "Tryin' to Get the Feeling," "I Write the Songs," "Even Now," "Looks Like We Made It," "Copacabana (at the Copa)," "Can't Smile Without You." The list goes on. The young girls cry, and so do the middle-aged women.

They love Mr. Manilow, and he can't really understand it. "It's real strange for me to be standing up there in the middle.of all that adulation," he conceded. "I don't know what to tell you. "Someone recently asked me, 'Are ydu And I said, 'No, I'm not I'll accept it, but I don't know anybody who's ever gone through this before.

I try to be as together as I can. I try to keep this together. He laughs. "I don't know how to handle it, honestly. I'm trying to handle it very solidly, but it is strange, isn't it? It's very strange.

Hoffman Estates, 111. He's so cute. Blond, big nose, skinny, Brooklyn boy, talks New Yaawwk, slight lisp. And what a tush. He's Barry Manilow, who else? Who else could draw female fans from as far as Japan and Australia to a hotel on the outskirts of Chicago for three days of total adoration? For three days of concerts last month, there were Barry buttons, Barry bumper stickers and pastel Barrys on velvet everywhere.

In a window on an upper floor of the nearby Schaumburg Marriott, where many of the Manilow pilgrims were gathered, a hand-lettered sign read: "Barry, take us to heaven." They call themselves "Mani-lovers," and there should be plenty on hand tonight and Saturday and Sunday nights when Mr. Manilow appears at Merri-weather Pavilion. Backstage in his dressing room before a Sunday show, Mr. Manilow, wearing jeans, an oversized lavender shirt, white socks and black loafers, was affable and businesslike. He doesn't have to work, he said, to maintain his nice-guy image.

"You mean am I a rat back here and nice out there?" he said, laughing. "No, I do what comes naturally. I treat them his fans with respect. I kibitz with them. I treat them as honestly as I can, as honestly as you can make it, I mean, in the middle of show business.

I mean, it is a show." Fans think he's as sexy as he is cute. Women have even taken to throwing underwear on stage. "Two nights ago they did," he said. "It was a joke. I mean, I think Tom Jones gets it for real.

I don't know there wasn't any phone number on it. I don't know what they want me to do put it in the laundry or something." Heh, heh, heh, he laughs. (He may be the only man alive who laughs like a comic-book character.) His many, many fan letters are "mostly thank yous," he said, "thank yous for helping them get through a lousy day. Or they'll put on a record and they don't feel so lonely." The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra plays for Joseph Silverstein with evident respect. Last night in Meyerhoff Hall, the conductor and violinist who, among his many commitments, serves as concertmaster and assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony, artistic director of the Utah Symphony and artistic adviser-designate of the Baltimore Symphony drew some attentive, disciplined, -tonally attractive playing in the Ifirst of three summer Mozart concerts.

It was the playing, per se the 'phrasing, articulation, ensemble, sonority, cultivation of dynamics -'rather than the music-making, that seemed paramount. The lengthy program featured 'Mr. Silverstein both as violin soloist and conductor, he took on both roles in two individual movements for 'violin and orchestra, the Adagio in K. 261, and the Rondo in K. i373.

These pieces, which were not as a pair, were played with great poise and affection. Mr. Silverstein savored the gentle lyricism of the Adagio and the light, often playful embellished solo writing of -the Rondo. That Rondo is the most mature and advanced of Mozart's violin concertos or movements and -betrays this in the woodwinds' short bursts of independence and the tightly woven solo-orchestra relationship. v'The Boston Symphony concert-liiaster was joined by the Baltimore Symphony concertmaster, Herbert Dreenberg, in the Concertone in 190, for two violins and orchestra.

Composed at age 17, this was Mozart's first original concerto, except for the Piano Concerto in K. 175. The long, amiable work received leisurely treatment from the two protagonists instrumentally as- APfX-l 10 S.

The soloists gently spun out their lively figurations, ongoing dialogue and sequences, assisted by solo oboe and cello, yet without more zeal, animation and charm, the piece dragged on a bit. The work represents Mozart at his most gracious, smiling and good-humored words one would not use to describe the performance last night, in which the emphasis again seemed to be on the execution rather than on the musical content. Similarly, Mr. Silverstein coaxed an appropriately rounded tone at the start of the Symphony No. 39, opened up the repeats and guided the players through the difficult work in a manner that displayed their capacity for unified, blended attack and sonority, and his own concern for charm of instrumental timbre.

Yet the performance struck me as bland and devoid of musical incident, with little feeling for melodic and harmonic events. The dotted rhythms of the slow introduction generated little dramatic tension, and the serene, gently flowing slow movement only suggested the implicit anguished emotional force. The bucolic Trio, however, provided a bit of delicious timbral interplay, with one clarinet playing its melody in the brighter, higher register, accompanied by another gurgling away its oom-pah-pah in the lower reaches. The perpetual motion finale, taken very briskly, lacked mischievous good humor. AMUSEMENT AMUSEMENT AMUSEMENT AMUSEMENT it ivrnnrnrn 0G33 4 A.
