BittHiJ CbcCAKitC, Montreal, Friday, May 1986 POP MUSIC You want value and variety in your weekend entertainment fare? Try the Me and My Shadow extravaganza at Montreal Playwright's Workshop, 4001 Berri tonight at 8 p.m. It's a regular "Art Spectacle," featuring the guitar and poetics of Rhythm Activism in their last local performance before a West Coast tour as ncCT part of the Black WO I Wedge collective. OPTC Their provocative Champagne there is a free recital that is actually worth more than the price of admission: Montreal pianist Ronald Turini in the first of four Radio-Canada concerts dedicated to Liszt. Turini has earned a place in history as Horowitz's favorite student.

In Glenn Plaskin's biography, the Great One is quoted as saying of Turini: "He deserves a better place than he has. But he is very shy and not a pusher." Judge for yourself in a Horowitzian program of virtuoso transcriptions and arrangements of Verdi, Schubert, Bach, and Schumann. Assuming you cannot buy your way into the sold-out Aida at Salle Wilfrid Pelletier, the choice tomorrow at 8 p.m. is I Musici de Montreal in Pollack Hall. Guest soloist is the Montreal Symphony's ubiquitous and justly celebrated principal flutist Tim Hut-chins, who will be heard in Mozart's Flute Concerto No.

2 and Rondo in K. 184. More Mozart, including the Symphony No. 29, fills out the program. This is the last concert of I Musici's season, although you can hear them May 24 under the auspices of Pro Musica.

Sunday at 8 p.m. we get a taste of the inC creased emphasis on light music promised by The Tudor Singers of Montreal under their newly arrived music director Patrick Wedd, who made himself welcome recently with a vigorous performance of a Haydn mass. This time the composer is Bernstein, and the program at Redpath Hall includes the relatively challenging and un-popsy Chichester Psalms, selections from the Mass, and, yes, hits from West Side Story. The soloists will be members of the Singers. Arthur Kaptainis them in Kraft Dinner.

A new band called Graffitti is in at Le Steppe on Park Ave. till tomorrow while The Gym on St. Catherine St. W. changes names to become Le Tonic and presumably, policy too, which means bands get paid for performing there.

Weather Permitting and Then One Day play tonight, great punk vets The Nils are in tomorrow, and excellent West Island review Ministry of Truth take over Sunday. This is a tasty bill, especially when admission is free The original party till-ya-puke master Ronnie Hawkins returns to Le Portage of the Bonaventure Hilton tonight and Saturday, and Le Grand Cafe on St. Denis St. houses the semi-finals of the Montreal International Jazz Festival Concours de Jazz all weekend. The jazz is fine and the price is right: free.

John Griffin FILM The most interesting new film to hit town this weekend is something called The Ploughman's Lunch, yet one more welcome addition to Cinema V's recent streak of first-rate Montreal premieres. This well-made, low-key drama focuses on a British radio journalist who gets crossed-up when he attempts to capitalize on the Falklands crisis while stirring up a romance with a television writer. The exploration of journalistic ethics, class-consciousness and the subjectivity of the mass media is legitimate enough, but those with a low tolerance for understatement andor talky drama should perhaps proceed with caution. Screenings are tonight at 7 p.m., tomorrow at 4:30 and 9:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 and 7:15 p.m.

Those with a special interest in what's happenin', baby, in music should take note of a special 240-minute program at Cinema Parallele. Four American Composers is a package of four hour-long films (presented through super high-resolution video projection) on the revolutionary achievements of John Cage, Philip Glass, Robert Ashley and Meredith Monk. The whole lot was directed by Peter Greenaway of The Draughtsman's Contract. Screenings this weekend (and through May 16) are at 8 p.m. And then there's the fringe of the fringe the places where you don't usually expect to see celluloid on parade.

The Museum of Fine Arts (1379 Sherbrooke St. is sponsoring a film program in connection with its exhibit of Judaic treasures from the Czechoslovak state collection. On Sunday at 1 p.m., the museum will feature Francois Truffaut's Le dernier metro (with English subtitles), a drama in which Catherine Deneuve stars as an actress struggling to keep her exiled husband's theatre alive during the Nazi occupation of France. Admission is $2. For the same price, you should be able to get the kiddies to sit still for a couple of hours at the screenings slated for the second floor of the YMCA at 1450 Stanley St.

On the agenda is Gulliver's Travels on Sunday at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., followed by Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book at 12:45 and 4:40 p.m. Bruce Bailey CLASSICAL MUSIC It doesn't seem natural, but this weekend there are no conflicts between major attractions. Tonight at 8 p.m. in Salle Claude Kocsis displays voice This week, a quartet of piano releases: Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No.

Toronto-based Canadian folk institution Murray McLauchlan performs at the Golem Concert Room on Stanley St.

tomorrow night at 7:30 and 10:30 m. Ethnic Drivers play Les Foufounes Electriques on St. Catherine St. E. Saturday, this could be the last-ever gig for a truly exciting ska-pop band.

Show your support tomorrow and maybe they won't have to get real jobs after all. There's a free Ethnic Drivers' mini-LP for the first 40 people inside. The Gruesomes are working on a debut album due soon. They're desparately broke as a result and are playing Station 10 on St. Catherine St.

Sunday at 2 young Hungarian pianist with a mop of chestnut hair that gives him the appearance of a teen idol of Beatles vintage, chooses a tempo for the first movement that seems bizarrely fast until it is compared with the composer's own rocket-like delivery with Leopold Stokowski on the podium. (Rachmaninoff clocks in at Kocsis at 9:28.) Slow-tempo concerto Nevertheless, history has judged the Second to be a slow-tempo concerto, so Ashkenazy's first movement, longer than Kocsis' by exactly two minutes, sounds far moreidomatic and faithful to the movement's grand tunes and tidal crescendos. Moreover, the San Francisco strings can't hold a candle to the black-diamond sonority of the Concertgebouw's fiddles. Haitink, who often sounds clinical and forced in this repertoire, also earns points for fashioning the final orchestral statement of the last movement's celebrated second subject into an overpowering surge of sound and passion. Ashkenazy is everywhere warm and grand; Kocsis' anti-sentimental approach has a little more character and profile.

The choice may ultimately depend on the flip sides: the Hungarian's speed and pearly right-hand acrobatics make for a splendidly witty and intelligent version of the Rhapsody ori a Theme by Paganini; Ashkenazy's reading of the Fourth Concerto is as usual big and sweeping, but a little heavy-handed. There are good reasons to own both discs, but Kocsis unquestionably represents the morejriginal voice. Mozart: Piano Sonatas in Minor, K. 457rto Major, K. 279; in Major, K.

576; Fantasia in Minor, K. 475. Mitsuko Uchida, piano. Philips 412 617-1 (digital). It is common enough to hear a dramatic performance of Mozart's Minor Fantasy and Sonata, but the composer's major-mode essays for keyboard tend to get the kid-glove treatment.

This is what makes the playing of the 37-year-old Tokyo-born and Vienna-educated pianist Mitsuko Uchida on this album so refreshing. The K. 279 Sonata bristles with vigorand personality. One has the sense that jJchida simply assumed that Mozart's sonatas are no less adventuresome, thoughtful, personal, and boisterous than Beethoven's, and discovered in practice thatjhis is very nearly true. Thelinal Allegretto movement of K.

576 goesalmost too far in its cultivation of angular stresses and staccato attacks, but nowhere on the disc does the playing sound at odds with the spirit of the music. Indeed, listeners may find themselves recognizing its liveliness and emotional variety for the first time. as- Scfiubert: Sonata in Major, D.840 (Unfinished). Sviatoslav Richter, piano. Philips 416 292-1 (live analog recording).

Sviatoslav Richter, the Soviet who cannot possibly be absent from a sane person's list of thfe world's five greatest pianists, has beenturning more and more to Schubert late hy his career. His; view of the composer is expansive, and this live 1979 performance of what some commentators regard as the greatest of the solo piano works regardless of the truncated Menuetto and Rondo movements; I takes its time flagrantly. Balladic call first listen, the musical substance sounds attenuated by the slow tempos, but to return to the disc is to realize it is one of the greatest releases of this or any year. The balladic call of the Andante theme emerges with shattering beauty in RichCer's hands, and soulfulness of the simplest theme stated at octaves takes the breath away. Seldom has the orchestral cast of Schubert's piano writing been more vividly realized, the secret being not forcefulness but abundant color at the softest levels.

Even the sudden tailing-off of the final move-mentjnto an unanswered four-bar phrase has an etherial effect, as if Schubert's spirit, in the midst of his last keyboard takes flight to heaven. With clear and sonorous recording and a minimum of audience noise, this is required listening for all piano fans and positive desert-island material for Schubert enthusi- 4stS" Arthur Kaptainis Films for children and adoleacenta Gulliver's Travels at 1 1 a.m. and 3 p.m. and The Jungle Book at 12:45 and 4:40 p.m. Sunday at the YMCA.
