The Boston Globe from Boston, Massachusetts • 20

2f The Boston Globe Tuesday, April 17, 1973 Randy Newman loosens up a bit MHW H1 ments, and, although Newman's lingering songs sound so much better when he sings them, the curly-haired composer had two tough acts to follow. First, let's discuss Martin Mull. He came on second, following Sandy Denny, and he was wearing a light orange tuexdo that almost matched the color of his hair. He entered to the blaring strains of the theme from "2001" and sat on a striped lounge chair, next to a night table that supported a lamp made By Stephen Williams Globe Correspondent Sitting on a black leather bench beneath the golden steel pipes of Symphony Hall, Randy Newman softly touched his audience with "I Think It's Going to Rain Today," It was a stylish and satisfying finish to Thursday night's three-hour concert, staged by impressario Freddie Taylor with the "something for everyone" approach. It was also a night for soloists and simple instru out of a football.

"Thank you for the clap," he told us, and proceeded to act, sing, shout, pun and play his way into the spirits of the 2000 persons present. But back to Newman, who took two raucous encores and ate up the applause that followed every one of his songs. Dressed in a western shirt and dungarees, Randy sketched images in the air, and his chopsticks-style piano added the eloquent adjective. Newman's mood moved him from the haunting I "Sail Away" to "You Can Leave Your Hat On," a crazy story about the privacy of love; from "Simon Smith and His Amazing Dancing Bear" to "Living Without You" to "Suzanne," a bit he called "a diseased love song." It was an uninhibited performance. Randy has emerged from his shy shell and loosened up a bit.

Not that that's too important, though; he has been, giving of himself for some time, because he has lived what he sings. Stravinsky's "Orpheus" came across as overcautious and lacking in vivid profile, but Lynn Chang gave a brilliant though rather cool and uncommitted account of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3. Chang had" to compete with the strains of a rock concert that emanated from somwhere within the depths of the building. Some peripheral but not impertinent comments: Not even of four-year-olds is the pointless observance Baker conducts the astonishing Bach Society Orchestra GET THE POINT? Alain Delon takes drastic measure against CIA agent played by William Smibhers in spy thriller "Scorpio" at Savoy.

'Scorpio' revives spy thrillers vard and Radcliffe students, nonmusic majors at that. But one doesn't (or shouldn't) attend concerts to be astonished by precocity, and so it should be emphasized that this was an evening of solid and accomplished music-making, an evening that was rewarding and satisfying on the strength of the performances alone. The strings, usually an amateur orchestra's point, were especially impressive for good intona By Harry Neville Globe Correspondent Robert Hart Baker conducted the Bach Society Orchestra Saturday night in Sanders Theater, and never mind that the program Faure, Mozart and Stravinsky -r- had not a single work of Bach. The group played uncommonly well, as well as all but a very few of the other Boston area orchestras. The astonishing thing about ail this is the fact that the players are mostly Har tion and for gentle, relaxed tone.

Baker somehow got them to make the kind of resonant attacks rather than "ping," as Winthrop Sar-geant has it) that one associates only with a highly sophisticated kind of orchestral technique. But in almost all sections the nervous horns aside the playing was fluent and skilled, and Baker's subtly inflected phrasing, was especially telling in Faur's "Pelleas Melisande" suite. irimounl flclorij PrtunU -I Hliuii-lirtin-SiinirUit PriaiicIlM In Color V' fi I 4A .9 vr BWe- s- a-y mC SUBURBAN THEATERS SUBURBAN THEATERS defectors, or just plain killers-for-hire. The film, strictly an escapist thriller, is often confusing but that makes it just that more fun trying to figure it all out. Everyone ends up dead in the end so it is all wrapped up nice and tidy.

The movie is truly one of those international affairs. The director, Michael Winner is British, as is one of the stars, Paul Scofield. And costars are American Burt Lancaster and France's Alain Delon. Lancaster clays an American agent who is suspected of being about to defect to Russia and Delon is a rather vague French figure called Scorpio who is paid by the Americans to trap Lancaster. Scofield, complete with gray beard plays an aging Russian agent who is a friend of Lancaster's.

It is sort of difficult to keep the goings and comings straight but it is all played strictly for thrills, with no comedy esides. One of the most interesting aspects of the film is the setting in Vienna (with a few cuts to Washington). The city on the Danube is made to look enchanting in the June time period and Winner has captured the unique charm and beauty of the Austrian capital. He has also used what apparently is a Viennese subway under construction for one of his best chase sequences. In its own hard-aged look at the cold world of spying and its excellent pace, the film is a good entertainment for a mindless spring night.

oraajiiiiNMiiiu DAVID PREMIER i RANDY NEWMAN two encores of pointless formalities any longer thought cute. Th BSO seldom rises to acknowledge its conductor's entrance, and BSO con-certmaster Joseph Silver-stein never seeks individual acknowledgement practices which are decidedly unendearing of the Bach Society's 20-year-olds. Surely, too, the age of the elegantly illiterate program note is past. Can it be true the Faure's "Pel-leas et Melisande" suite "still sits well on the ears" of anyone?
