Wednesday, September 12, MM -Mattooa (D.) Journal Gazette-C4 Chiamberorclhiestra concert 'near to heaven mm ft Beethoven was performed with a relatively small force -of musicians, though it was, of course, adaptable to a larger group once the tradition was established. Hobson's group plans to play some of this music, using modern instruments, but still bringing us closer to the original sounds intended by the composers. For their premier performance they chose an all-Mozart program, which is as near to heaven as one can get. A highlight was the Piano Concerto in Minor, K. 491, which Hobson conducted from the keyboard.

Exquisite phrasing, every note clearly chiseled, always a light touch these are some of the things that come to mind about Hobson's performance. His playing tends to be more intellectual than 'lyrical. A little heart and soul would have been the finishing touch to this dazzling display of technical virtuosity. Another highlight was the aria Per quests belli mano, K. 612, sung by Grammy winner William Warfield, with Joseph Tamosaitis providing the double bass obligate.

Generally speaking, Mozart favored the soprano and tenor voices, and thus this aria for bass is a rarity in this genre. Warfield was in good voice, but perhaps taking his cue from the conductor, sang this love song with little passion or ardor. The program opened with the overture to The Marriage of Figaro, English pianist Ian Hobson, whose recital earlier this year at Lake Land College was a highlight of its 198344 artist series, has just formed a chambef orchestra, the Sinfonia da Camera, It the University of Illinois, where he is a member of the music faculty. The group recently gave its debut performance before a near-capacity audience in the Krannert Center Great HaD. A clumber orchestra is a small group numbering about 20 to 35 musicians as against the 90 or more we're accustomed to In the typical modern symphony orchestra.

Professional chamber orchestras are a rarity in this country. There's one in K. 492, and closed with a clear, crisp performance of the Jupiter Symphony (No. 41, major, K. 551).

The Jupiter was one of the three symphonies written in the astoundingly short space of six weeks in the spring of 1788. It was a difficult time for Mozart. His popularity was waning and even the successes of Figaro and Don Giovanni were not enough to help pay his debts. This is reflected in the dark, brooding nature of the Jupiter's slow movement. The Sinfonia hinted at it, but didn't always fully capture it.

was an auspicious beginning for Hobson's Sinfonia da Camera. The music was magnificent, but the occasion was a little sad, for the program was in honor of Mary Hay, the retiring assistant house manager of the Krannert. She's the elegant white-haired lady behind the ticket desk who answered everybody's questions and announced on the PA how much time was left before the beginning or resumption of a performance. She gave the Krannert class and the place won't be the same without her. Hobson and his group will -be' performing again Friday, Feb.

8, at. the Krannert Center and Sunday, Feb. 10, at Lake Land College. The program will include Beethoven's Eighth and Alban Berg's Kammerkonzert in commemoration of the composer's 100th birthday ill Los Angeles, another in St. Paul, and that's about it.
