Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 20, 1986 The Moscow State Symphony of the U.S.S.R.:Atriumph By Rebecca Chung The opening concert of the Moscow State Symphony of the U.S.S.R.'s American tour, last Thursday night at Hill Auditorium, was a triumph. Conductor Yevgeny Svetlanov and the Moscow Symphony brought an intensity, energy, and sheer exuberance to Hill that breathed life even into the stodgy Brahms "Double" Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orch - estra. The soloists (Oleg Kagan, violin; and Natalia Gutman, cello) played lyrically without losing momentum, even during the fast- moving broken arpeggios in the first movement. Admittedly, Ka - gan's vibrato was irritatingly fast, and the sound of both soloists seemed a little thin. However, these flaws lost their impact when compared to the steady, lively tem - po, togetherness, and single-minded musicality of the ensemble. But the greatest success of the evening was undoubtedly the Rachmaninoff Symphony No.2. Using many more super - latives to describe the performance would dampen the impact of each, but of particular note was the constant lyricism, lively tempo, exquisite dynamic control and discipline ( the cello pizzicato sounded like one string instead of nearly twenty-five), and the flaw - less solos by the principal clarinetist. Excellent moments included the brass fanfare of the first movement, an effective tutti accelerando in the second, the aforementioned clarinet solo in the third, and the celebratory, almost- but-not-really bombastic "wall of sound" in the fourth. The only sour note in the Rachmaninoff was, in fact, exactly that-the principal french horn went horribly flat at the end of his third-movement solo. Thursday night's magic was not entirely the result of the perfor - mance. The juxtaposition of the predictable black tie and sober demeanor of the orchestra against the knowledge that they had traveled from behind the Iron Curtain was strangely exciting. The audience received the group with unusual warmth, as if they wanted to make a personal impact on the orchestra. The musician's heartfelt perfor - mance only escalated the welcome; one hopes that nothing will interfere with the cultural exchanges that make performances such as the Moscow State Symphony's possible. 'T.V. * " Perception of society all too clear 6 Blues guitarist: Lonny Mack ,as returned to the scene and will be playing at Rick's American Cafe tonight. Shoe Mich By Karin Edelson After watching the Residential College Players production of T.V. this past weekend, I was inspired to abandon my couch potato habits for good. The play, written by Jean Claude Van Itallie, shows how too much TV viewing can intrude into our lives and Michigan Daily ARTS 763-0379 eventually overtake us. There is a lot of action occurring on stage including three constant TV viewers who work for a ratings company, the actors who show the audience what is occurring on the TV and a slide projection of the actors in each sequence. Although the play was written in 1966, it was adapted by director Nancy Bishop to fit the present political situation in this country. Because of these changes, it is able to parody the present conflicts in South America, Nicaragua, and the United -States with the way the network news broadcasters present information to the public. While these TV news scenes are amusing, they are also discomforting when we consider how Americans are so heavily influenced by our news reports. We often learn only what is presented to us on TV or in the newspapers. One of the most striking performances comes from Laura Sprague. Her portrayal of the flaky, overly talkative Susan is one of the highlights of T.V. She appears to be thoroughly enjoying her part and she does indeed get most of the laughs of the production. Five of the other actors are not as flashy as Susan but they each stand out in their individual performances as well. Their renditions of religious evangalists, Ronald Reagan, talk show hosts and commercial narrators all display their various acting ranges. Make-up designer, Kate Gordon is especially clever in her treatment of the television actors. Each per - former has an all-white face with horizontal black lines drawn across it. When combined with their black and white costumes, they produce the effect of being viewed through a television screen. The R.C. Players fall debut comes across with few flaws, a lot of laughter, and an interesting concept to consider. higan Daily Personals 764-0557 The Calendar of The University of Michigan The calendar combines meeting, lecture workshop and conference announcements. with other events happening each week on campus.
