THE PROVINCE, Saturday, May 29, 1971 31 Youth orchestra Victoria pianist I great with Mozart: Art and artists Kiyooka tods Vancouver dramatic adieu SURVEYING THE INSEPARABLE SCENE Roy Kiyooka (below left), consolidating the loose threads in a beautiful, backward-looking show. 24 si I If oist in three movements from Tele-mann's Suite in A minor. He too is an extremely promising player, though I am sorry to have to report that he was not heard at his best on this occasion-due to the impossibly fast tempi set conductor Jerold Gerbrecht, which precluded clean articulation of rapid passagework by the soloist and also the accompanying strings. Actually Gerbrecht's tempi wQid have taxed the combined skills of Ram pal and Neville Marriner and his merry men. Touching on the purely orchestral items in both Robert Turner's Children's Overture and Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite, I got the distinct impression that many of the orchestra members were living dangerously.

Of course there were some nice touches especially from the wind players but in general the performances offered no more than a blueprint of each work. The first movement of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony completed the By LAWRENCE CLUDERAY Victoria pianist Kendy Stofer 15, made a very favorable impression when she played Mozart's A major concerto with the Vancouver Youth Orchestra Senior Division in North Vancouver Centennial Theatre Friday night This particular concerto is, perhaps, the most euphonious and superficially charming of all Mozart's works for piano and orchestra and the soloist's account of it was thoughtful as- well as fluent. Unfortunately the orchestra's work was marred by some deplorable intonation in the adagio and was generally not quite restrained enough to contain all the gentleness of the music. Nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed the natural grace and good manners of Miss Stof-er's Mozart playing and also the way in which she projected the contrasting character of the various themes especially in the first movement. Flautist David Bull was the other sol- World chess match 'ueen checks king; and crowns Russian By RICHAKD SIMMINS Roy Kiyooka is showing at the Bau-Xi Gallery until mid-June.

Sixteen new sculptures, a mixture of paintings and water colors created between 1957-68, three new suites of graphics and a poetry reading on June 11 represent not only another burst of activity but a dramatic adieu to -Vancouver. It- is healthy for the Canadian scene that there are characters like Kiyooka who are unpredictable, imperious, just outside routine criticism, whose artistic contribution is inseparable from the total personality. The key to understanding Kiyooka is not to attempt to separate the work i' from the man, the process from the finished object. I do not believe anyone can measure this artist's real value until a retrospec- tive exhibition covering 20 years ac- tivity are assembled. Kiyooka works in bursts, in series, sometimes related to what he has done before, sometimes going off on a tangent.

Kiyooka is 44, an established painter-, sculptor and poet-teacher. He has exhib- ited nationally since 1955, internationally since the mid-60's Sao Paulo, New York, Osaka, Edinburgh and London. He has written three books of poetry, two major photographic shows and is currently working on half a dozen inter- related projects. There seems to be no end to the intensity of producing. Where does he belong? Perhaps to Vancouver.

His home is here. So are his closest friends and his family. This is where he seems most relaxed. However, he is restless perhaps forced to be by circumstances constantly on the move. He surfs on an extraordinary, nervous vitality from crest to crest.

As a teacher Kiyooka's experience Is without parallel in this country. He has taught in Regina, Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal and next year will be in Halifax as head of the painting department of the Nova Scotia College of Art. It is unfortunate that he has to leave British Columbia. He may be caught up in a financial squeeze that makes him unable to settle for nothing less than the best. He is not accepted by the established teaching institutions because of his uncompromising commitment.

His vitality is not acceptable in a scene which is noted for its dead-beat, unproductive art teachers. With each new series which Roy Kiyooka produces there is an expected ex- vgi1 A member of the Soviet Chess Federa-. tion, Aleksander Kotov, said Taimanov', 46. will not concede the match. He.

The new sculpture by Roy Kiyooka is popular.

It has been well received, people touch it lovingly and admire the warmth and sophisticated design. It is an older form of excellence which I respect but which leaves me quite un-involved and unexcited. The on-going Kiyooka is important and this is only one facet of an extraordinary career. His wood sculptures show that Kiyooka is looking back, picking up loose threads of earlier ideas which he can translate into objects. The sculptures are beautiful.

But they represent a consolidation of ideas rather than a progressive development. Impeccable design and craftsmanship is there but without any new, jagged ideas that might have expanded our ideas about new sculptural form. It is cellence, a refined professionalism and a material and aesthetic consistency. His new cedar laminates are up to Kiyooka's old standards. They are, however, unexpected.

The artist's photographic show Sto-neDGloves, circulated this year by the National Gallery and his book for the B.C. Almanac, both indicated a break with his preoccupation with precious, unique art ooject. WHITE 25. PxP 26. 0-P6 'n.

R-Q2 QxB R-KB1 44. By PAUL RAUGUST U.S. grandmaster Bobby Fischer defeated Mark Taimanov of the USSR for the fifth consecutive game Friday to pull within half a point of winning the world chess championship quarter-final match with the Soviet grandmaster. The victory, on a surprisingly bad move by Taimanov, came with only eight minutes showing on the clock after it mm TV'rsda1-. Fischer, laughing withoy, jumped off stage and accepted the congratulations of U.S.

Chess Federation vice president Ed Edmundson while the small audience of about 60 persons looked about in bewilderment. Some didn't realize v-'Hat had hap-ened until Fischer had left the University of B.C. auditorium. Most of the fans had come to the game prepared for another drawn out end game. It had adjourned Thursday on a similar note to an earlier game that had lasted 88 moves and that took over 9V4 hours of playing time over three days.

Speed is not one of the characteristics of the Taimanov Fischer1 games. When play started Friday, Taimanov evened the strength of the two sides at two pawns, a bishop, rook, queen and king each. That was on his 42nd move: five moves later it was all over. After trading bishqps, Taimanov left his king vulnerable by taking a pawn w'ih rook. Fischer, as if in disbelief, stood up.

and looked at the audience, shrugged his shoulders and resumed play with a check from his queen, a move Taimanov had obviously miscalculated. The Soviet grandmaster resigned without further play. He could have delayed the inevitable checkmate by sacrificing his rook, but the outcome was in no doubt. Taimanov has lost three times while playing white and twice with black. The match is to be resumed Tuesday with Fischer enjoying the advantages of white.

If magazines like Ellipse (University of Sherbrooke, Quebec) hadn't come along to do something about it, most English poets still wouldn't know more than the grocer next door about Canada's French poets, not to mention their rather extensive publications. Ipiilliif ritory before risking the bush-league areas.

It still hasn't done so, but I have no doubt it's in the offing. After all, the magazine has only run five issues and has already covered poets Michele Lal-onde and Margaret At wood, Roch Carrier and Dave Godfrey, Roland Giguere and Leonard Cohen, Gaston Miron and Ray Souster. That's not counting the eight other poets it represented in the first issue. In addition, each issue features two critical articles, one in English on the French poet, another in French on the English one. In other words, it's very much a working magazine, not a showcase, as the English-French anthologies have too often been.

It comes out three times a year, and is available for a $5. annual subscription from Ellipse, CP. 10, Fa-culte des Arts, Universite de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Quebec. You can't spend money on better literary material. along, shame us with their fairly definitive knowledge of our own literature.

Most of us didn't even know how to pronounce Roland Giguere. Then in the fall of 1969 Doug Jones, an English man at Sherbrooke (and. author of, among other books, the recent critical work Butterfly on Rock) decided to tackle the issue with a bi-lingual en ace literary journal of translation he called Ellipse, featuring (with the exception of issue no. one which was somewhat anthology -like) two poets per issue, one English, one French, both in en face translation (English on one side, French on the other). The idea was not only good, it was superbly timed.

Ellipse connected almost immediately. It didn't take long for literary types on both sides of the languages to recognize its value. The translations were generally first-class, the selection of poets somewhat safe, but then Ellipse was breaking ground and had to cover established ter Antiwar movie honored CANNES, France The International Federation of Cinematographic Press awarded its annual prize to the American antiwar film, Johnny Got His Gun, in the first of minor awards before the grand winners were announced at the Cannes Film Festival.

A fair spokesman said the absent artists were fleas. He added: "They are very easily recognizable. They can walk tightropes." The ignorance extends to both direc. tions of course, though not nearly to the same extent on the part of the French-Canadian writers.
