n 1933, Ignatz Waghalter, who had
been the first conductor of the
Deutsche Opera, found his perfor-
mances and music banned by Hitler's
Reichsmusikkammer. He was in good
company — among the many other
musicians the Nazi government found
unacceptable were Felix Mendelssohn,
Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg.
Unlike Mendelssohn and Mahler,
Waghalter and Schoenberg were still

alive to be maligned in person. Both
eventually settled in the United States.
Schoenberg's atonality matched the
brittle spirit of the time. But Waghalter
and his more melodic idiom never
caught on with postwar musical circles.
He died in New York in 1949 at the age
of 68.
"Since then, he underwent a degree
of anonymity that is unusual for some-
one of his stature,' said his grandson,
David Waghalter Green of Beverly Hills.
Metro Detroit is poised for a
Waghalter revival this month, spear-
headed by Green and a group of ener-
getic local musicians.
At 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 11, Chamber
Music at the Scarab Club will present
several of Waghalter's works, includ-
ing his String Quartet in D Major.
Green will speak about his grandfather
at a 6 p.m. prelude. Also on the pro-
gram is music for flute and piano by
Walter Geiseking.
The performers, including Music at
the Scarab Club founders cellist Nadine
Deleury and violinist Velda Kelly,
recently released a CD of Waghalter's
music.

I

think about Crossing Delancey
as a romance between a girl and
her grandmother in many ways','
says playwright and screenwriter Susan
Sandler, "because there's something

about the relationship between a
grandparent and a grandchild that is
completely pure. All that grandparents
want is for you to be happy and loved."
Sandler's relationship with her
maternal grandmother, Sylvia Eidels,
was the genesis for her play Crossing
Delancey, which was adapted into the
1988 romantic film comedy.
The movie follows Isabelle (Izzy)
Grossman (Amy Irving), a single New
Yorker whose bubbie (Reizl Bozyk)
hires a matchmaker (Sylvia Miles) who
fixes Izzy up with a pickle vendor (Peter
Riegert) from the Lower East Side.
Izzy, who runs a prestigious reading
series uptown, has her eye on a smug
author (Jeroen Krabbe) and rejects
her bubbie's Old World ideas of what
a woman needs, not realizing she may
be giving up a genuine chance at hap-
piness.
Crossing Delancey, directed by Joan
Micklin Silver, finally makes it to DVD
on Feb. 6 (WHV; $19.98).
