The program will be repeated at a.M tonight. By CYRTJS DtRGIN By the time the Boston Symphony was well into the opening movement of Mahler's First Symphony, it seemed that Richard Burgin had never conducted so superbly, or that the orchestra had ever sounded better. When the concert had ended it had become fixed in my estimation as one of total and rare enjoyment. Perhaps the first allegro of the Mozart Serenade had gone a trifle on the slow side, perhaps the coda of the Mahler finale was not faultlessly neat.

Yet the over-all impression was one of mastery and charm. This may have been one of those musical miracles that occur from time to time, for the orchestra arrived back from its rugged Southern tour only Wednesday, and all, including Mr. Burgin, may well have been fatigued. Nor could there have been much time to prepare this exacting program, even including rehearsal on the road. But no sign of fatigue or under-rehearsal showed; conducting and performance had real elan and Boston Symphony qual ity.

This listener, at least, depart ed from Symphony Hall deeply movel and with nis head in clouds of gorgeous sound. Nor had Ruth Posselt. as violin soloist, ever within my memory exceeded her performance of the Khatchaturian Concerto. Here is a work of difficulty, and also of great appeal. It is largely melodic, with genuine tunes, not one of those essays in out-of-key figurations and other fireworks that are likely to sound a little acid.

Oddly enough, the Boston Symphony had never played the Concerto in Boston before, though Mr. Fiedler introduced it at Pops a decade ago and Mr. Burgin and Miss Posselt were the principals in a Berkshire Festival hearing in 1954. Some of us had known it from recordings. Khatchaturian has a mastery of the orchestra, and he evidently regards the violin as an instrument with a soul.

It all sounds, it all "sings," the colors ot the orchestration are rich and kaleidoscopic, and the slow movement has a striking nocturne quality. Most of the-Soviet music I have heard has been but this forceful yet unpretentious work is an exception. As absence makes a fonder heart, so it is likely to make, in music, a score seldom heard seem all the more lovely. It worked that way with Mahler's First Symphony, a score of endless interest and skill and of a beauty which dafies com munication by words. To Mahler! the symphonic form was perhaps naively "the wholfJ world," arfll here is much of the world, from i inocent gayety to storm and heart break.

That wonderful melody with its counterpointing harmony, which interrupts the dramatic, fast finale, is among the peaks of intimate emotion. Little wonder, when the final D's had sounded, that cheering amplified the applause. Next week Charles Munch will return, and conduct Beethoven's "Fidelio" Overture; the Fourth Symphony, "The Delights of Basel," by Honegger, and Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony. Miss Hellmnn has the Inquisitor from Spain declare that the enemy of his organization is the natural man." Designer Jo Mielzinger has used a stage bare except for square framing arch, platforms and backdrop, upon the characterizing places of court, dungean, cathedral and marketplace are pro jected in lights. The complicated lighting plot is almost a drama in itself.

The atmosphere is intensi fied by Leonard Bernstein's archaic-sounding choral music. with some ingenious rnytnmie tricks of clapping hands. The costumes of Alvin Colt are superb in period design and in contrasts of color. Probably all the acting will improve after several performances. Nonetheless it'is evident that Miss Harris' performance is that of genius, a most flexible and compelling projection of a long and difficult role.

There are other fine actors, too, in addition to her and the stately, sonorous Mr. Karloff: Joseph Wiseman's polished perfection as the Inquisitor; the rough honesty of Theodore Bikel and Bruce Gordon as Bau-dricourt and La Hire; the cat-smart effeminacy of Paul Robel-ing as the Dauphin, the compassionate Brother Ladvenu of Michael Higgins, and the -aucy wench talk of Ann Hillary as the Dauphin's mistress, Agnes Sorel.

It is an adaptation by Lillian Heiiman of Jean Anouiin "L'Alouette." Directed by Joseph An thony. Light-setting bv Joe Mielziner. Costumes by Alvin Colt. Music bv Leonard Bernstein. First time in Boston.

Everything about this drama, which opened at the Plymouth Theatre last night, is vivid, which is to say intense and incisive. As Joan of Arc, Julie Harris adds yet another striking portrayal to her lengthening list, and as Cauchon, the Bishop of Beauvais, Boris Karloff gives a noble and mellow performance. "The Lark" 'will draw theatre-goers partial to serious drama, and if there are enough of them, the result will be a hit.

As a production, "The Lark" is a showman's dream, very modern and imaginative. It is done in a free and fluid style, hemmed in by neither the conventional limitations of time sequence nor literal settings, by neither stuffy consistency of style nor by any show business formulas whatever. Just how much Lillian Hellman adapted the original French play of Jean Anouilh is beside the point. What she has done is to probe into the why of Joan's trial and subsequent burning, a little into the what of the Maid's character, and for Dumoses of sketching the whole picture, into the how of what the warrior-virgin accomplished. You are given a resume of Joan's difficult progress from the farm at Domremy through the triflings of the French court and the silliness of the spindly Daupnm to the frightful rigors of the ecclesiastical trial, Joan's confession, subsequent recantation and ultimate execution.

This is done in flashbacks and jumps in time se quence, in a style of dialogue that ranges from stately ecclesiastical language to easy, modern colloquialism and it all blends nicely. Miss Hellman attempts no revelation of Joan's character. She keeps the Maid within a framework of simplicity, fanatic devotion to her saintly voices and her treacherous king, of personal religious belief and of the disarming honesty of the innocent which so enrages the sophist with an ax to grind. Miss Hellman softens the nature of Warwick by showing him to be a likeable and candid bargainer for gain, and that of Cauchon by making him a sincere wisher for Joan's spiritual deliverance though, of course, within his statfd position that "we are your priests, your masters, your judges." But with brilliant strokes. STAR By CLAY ARIES MAR.
