The Cherniavsky Trio in Manilla anf off the record . This morning we went to hear the Phillipine Band of 80 performers / They first played the Liszt Rhapsodie No.2 , the most striking feature of their playing was the first few bars , very big and a beautiful quality but I think they played with a little too much ruba to , but still very effectively . The ensemble and their crescendos shewed great musical taste so rare with orchestras . The next item was Tschaikovsky's Violin concerto ( 1st . movement ) leo being the solist and Jan the conductor . Considering they had had no rehearsal and that the orchestra had never before played an accompnåment it was marvellous how they brought out the important phrases of the concerto occasionally the wind instruments were out of tune and by reading the music by sight they sometimes lost their good tone . You know how difficult the piece is , especially for the soloist who requires temperament and all the other qualities - and Leo was a bit off his mark and Jan and the Band hardly understood each other . It was Jan's first experience at conducting . Next they played the Saint Saens Cello concerto op33 , Mischel being the soloist and St. Leger the conductor . This . concerto wants a musician and artist combined to interpret it - it is so French - I thought the middle part the mast interesting movement played under sardines which gives you an impression of coming from miles away and gradually came in with a crescendo leading to the climax it wants knowing to be really appreciated . The Band could not play any of their instruments five years ago and now they are a first rate orchestra the conductor who has taught them all and even selected what instruments they should learn is a bit of a genius - and an American negro at that . It is a government band and they are not allowed to play for money . The Govt . Hiris [ ? ] party were pres et but otherwise it was all private . By the time I getbhome you will find me a competent music critic , so mind you practice ! Sxeroxes isku મોર આરામ ,
