A
SPECIAL SPRING PREVIEW
OF
Isaac Stern
Fiddles While
Scud Fizzles
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
only casualty of a lone Scud
missile fired into Israel late
last week was Mozart's
Third Violin Concerto.
It was being performed by
American virtuoso Isaac
Stern when an air raid alert
interrupted a Feb. 23 concert
of the Israel Philharmonic
Orchestra under the baton of
Zubin Mehta.
Mr. Stern, who was win-
ding up an unscheduled
weeklong concert tour of
Israel which he undertook as
a gesture of solidarity with
the Jewish state, left the
stage briefly with the entire
IPO company to get their gas
masks.
But he returned alone a
few moments later without a
mask and took up fiddle and
bow to give a solo rendition
of a Bach adagio not on the
program while the alert con-
tinued. His performance
captured the hearts of his
listeners, who wore gas
masks throughout the piece.
The concert was one of the
first given since the Gulf
war began. The orchestra,
which began concertizing
again last week under the
baton of Mr. Mehta, has still
not returned to its home
base at Tel Aviv's Mann
Auditorium.
Threats Mar
Wallenberg Film
Bonn (JTA) — The world
premiere of a Swedish film
about Raoul Wallenberg was
interrupted by two bomb
scares last week, both false
alarms.
But the Zoo Palast,
Berlin's largest movie
house, was evacuated just
before the first showing of
Good Evening, Mr. Wallen-
berg was to begin on Feb.
21.
The film deals with the ac-
tivities of the Swedish dip-
lomat in Budapest who sav-
ed tens of thousands of
Hungarian Jews from depor-
tation to Nazi death camps
during the last year of World
War II.
Raoul Wallenberg himself
was arrested when the Red
Army entered Budapest in
1945 and has not been heard
from since.
No one claimed credit for
the bomb scares, which
police attributed to ex-
tremists of either the left or
right wing.
