Ignace Hilsberg was guest After a rather blurred read- log of the overture, the orchestra prepared to assist Hr. 1111s-lf la the playing of the concerto. Those who had heard Er-vtavNylregyhaxl play tha work, the night before with the Pass-- dena Orchestra were naturally curious to compare the two performances.

Nylregyhazi, who follows not-so-Aiich-tho. 'composer's printed instructions oa the score as the dictates of his own fancy, Is unique. How would Hilsberg play it? The moment the pianist struck the tremendous opening chords it was obvious that bis 7 would be a polished, skilled per- formaqce, more in line with con rventional requirements than Nylregyhazis. But what Hilsberg lacks in the power to dominate the orchestra with his playing. Tschhlkowsky, who wrote the concerto with an aye-toward making it tha moat difficult' ever composed, has seen to it thqt the performer shall sweat blood even before the end of the first movement.

Thus the player is forced not only master an intricate score but to irevent tha technical difficulties rom encroaching upon his interpretative values. In the second and third ments.

Under the direction Of Richard Lert the Philharmonic Orchestra and the Ora-' torio Society provided an appropriate pre-Christmas offer-' log. The message of this great composition seems lo bo lost In the formalized austerity of the concert hall. What it needs Is the atmosphere of the cathedral to provide full setting for so devout a work. Soloists for the occasion wera' Wynne Davis, soprano; Elizabeth Klein, contralto; Russell Horton, tenor, and Sten Englund, bass.

All the soloists were uniformly -weak, their voices scarcely great enough to encompass the demands of score. Miss Davis voice is sweet and pure, but -lacking in power and volume. Seldom programmed, the work nevertheless provided music lovers the opportunity to hear it In its entirety. Dr. Lert ex- pertly combined the various choir both of orchestra and chorus to form a' smooth, integrated and well-balanced whole.

Climax of the work, of course, is the mighty "Hallelujah chorus, an uplifting, ec- static outpouring both of song andaouL Fan Response Frieda Inescorts fans havs been writing to her suggesting Various new books as possible screen plays for her.
