With a sharp wit, soft voice
and some real mean guitar play-
ing, Theodore Bikel completely
won over his audience last
Saturday night in a folk song
concert at Masonic Temple.
Ranging through Yiddish He-
brew, Greek, Russian, Roman-
ian and English folk songs, he
presented each with feeling and
flair, preceding the non-English
selections with translation and
background information. The
audience was most cooperative
in accompanying Bikel in the
refrains of several numbers, one
Yiddish and one Zulu, which he
described as a Bantu Bar Mitz-
vah song.
Bikel, though he spoke on a
wide range of subjects, was
happily silent when one expect-
ed a plug for movies, records or
other media works. (He did not
even mention that he has been
nominated for an Academy
Award).
On stage, he did just one
thing—entertained, and this he
did well, with song, story and
commentary. He was on stage, a
lone performer, for more than
two and a half hours, and he
was enjoyable every minute of
that time. He was called back
for several encores, which he
performed wholeheartedly, until
he was reduced to sipping water
and chewing gum to keep • his
throat moist.
After leaving Detroit, where
he was presented by Pangloss
Enterprises, he went to , Ann
Arbor for a concert the follow-
ing night. He had another con-
cert each night for the next ten.

Sisterhood

Staples and cellist Paul Olef-
sky—were heard in the second
concert of the Detroit Friends
of Music series last Monday
evening, - and their efforts were
well appreciated by the au-
dience of some 200 persons.
Their rendition of the Mozart
duet No. 2, with its shades of
18th century formality was es-
pecially charming in the first
half of the program. Not as well
received, but showing off the
musicians' virtuosity was Ernest
Toch's Divertimento, a mod-
ern piece which might have
been easier to listen to if it
had not been played on the
evening after a busy Monday.
As a change of pace, Alex
Suczek, who is called Detroit's
only troubador, was heard in
a series of Spanish, Irish, Greek
and Hebrew songs. Suczek, who
accompanied himself on the
guitar, has both a sweet voice
and an engaging personality,
which made his performance
pleasant.
The evening's highlight, how-
ever, was the Staples-Olefsky
rendition of Zoltan Kodaly's
Duo, opus 7, which was excel-
lently done, particularly the_ sec-
ond movement, which has some
beautiful harmonic shadings
that were captured magnifi-
cently.
Also pleasing to the audience
was the encore of Bach's Pas-
sacaglia.
One begins to think that
anything Paul Olefsky touches
cannot go wrong, and for those
who liked his appearance with
Staples, the two will be back
again at , the next concert of
the Friends on April 1.
Joining them in this concert
in celebration of Jewish Music
Month that was postponed be-
cause of earlier bad weather,
will be soprano Emma Schaver,
Kenneth Goldsmith, v i o 1 i n;
Nathan Gordon, viola; and Lare
Wardrop, English horn.
