on the hill," he said. (These are the people talked about by the two characters in "Talley's His next project for the Circle Rep, which he is working on between dental visits, is a play called "In Vienna" by Roy London. "It's a light little play," he said, "a play that a good Jewish boy should be directing. I don't why I'm directing it The title comes from a Hasidic aphorism; 'The treasurer is at home but the knowledge of it is in "It's about a man who is studing Hasidic stories at the New School. He comes to move people who are selling their house in Connecticut They are Jewish and.

he is not but he knows more about Hasidic philosophy than they do." And if someday a dentist shows up in a Wilson play, there will be reason. tag night everyone was saying, 'It's a big hitt It's a big But I went out to my place in Sag Harbor and three weeks later called up to get the early grosses and when I heard them I said to myself, 'What do you know about that? It's a hit!" We've got such a tough hide from years of hard knocks that we tend to protect ourselves." The "we" refers to the Circle Repertory Company, of which Wilson is one -of the founders and one of the resident playwrights. Next summer it will present the third play in his trilogy represented so far by "Talley's Folly" and "The Fifth of July." The third, with a title of "The War in Lebanon," a title he says will be takes place at the same time as "Talley's Folly," which precedes "The Fifth of July." "It will be about the people up By ERNEST LEOGRANDE Lanford Wilson says he wishes he could have been happier when he heard he had won a Pulitzer Prize but he said that honestly what he was thinking most was, "I've got a God, it hurts!" The playwright, who won the prize in drama for his play "Talley's Folly," is in the middle ol extensive dental surgery five root canals that has noticeably altered his point of view for the moment. However he makes clear that the expected exuberance is not lacking, just delayed. "Right now I feel 'It's he said.

Conductorial crudity was balanced by the customarily bland vocalism of soprano Katia Ricciarelli and the unaccustomed intonation problems of tenor Ver-iano Luchetti, while the fine basso of Simon Estes was continuously corrupted by overemphatic delivery and weird umlauts on virtually every Latin vowel, indicating he perhaps stayed in Germany too long. The chorus was adequate, but the performance was saved only by the magnificent mezzo Agnes Baltsa and the flawless playing of the orchestra.

One wonders how long responsible musicians like these will allow Muti to coast by with his half-baked talent, and one shudders- to think what the Philadelphia Orchestra will sound like once they start playing the way he conducts. Catherine Cox, Millicent Martin, Pamela Myers and John Cunningham will raise their voices in a toast to Hal Prince beginning Monday in the St Regis-Sheraton's Old King Cole Room. They will sing songs from such Prince-produced shows as "Pajama Game," "Damn Yankees," Company" and a scheduled four weeks. The show's title is "Hail Prince!" Oh, well. Flutist Samuel Baron performs in St Peter's Church at Citycorp, 54th and Lexington, Saturday at 8.

Assisted by harpist Susan Jolles, cellist Timothy Eddy and violist Toby Appel, Baron wUl play works by Persichetti, Roussel, Villa-Lobos and Debussy. Tickets available at the church. I Mezzo-soprano Natasha Lutov sings a program entitled "Serious Songs" in St Peter's Church at Citycorp, Lexington Say what you want to about Eugene Ormandy's sometimes phlegmatic conducting for the Philadelphia Orchestra at least he is at all times musical and a dependable orchestral disciplinarian. Next season when Riccardo Muti takes over musical directorship, of this orchestra, he'll be 38 the same age as Ormandy was when when he assumed the post But from what was heard as Muti led the Philadelphians in the Verdi Requiem at Carnegie Hall Tuesday, fears about the coming musical standards in the City of Brotherly Love are well founded. With two exceptions, the performance was thoroughly provincial.

To Muti, louder almost always meant faster, while his baton technique (sometimes cueing in the wrong sections), seemed more intent Catherine Cox petition in Leipzig, and has made numerous recordings.
