a formidable reputation in the

took a mental pinch on the arm
to recall that the players are all
under age 22. On the other hand,
the swagger with which they
marched trough the third move-

to characterize Israel's youth.

It was obvious, observing Ronly-
Riklis' baton technique, why the
14-year-old youth corps symphony
has won first place in two interna-
tional competitions.
For the first selection, the over-
ture to Mendelssohn's "The He-
brides," Ronly-Riklis directed his
orchestra with such economy of
movement that at times he hardly
moved. Each command was more
like an "if-you-please-would-you-
be-so-kind-as-to . . ." But, like any
well-trained army, they followed
his every whim. The result was
brightly hued, brilliant.
