Music Trail Concert
Delights Audience
Last of the Season
The Mask a Music Trail
Sc rics closed Tuesday eve
ning with a concert by Louis
Quilieo, Canadian Baritone.
The singer’s program was re
ceived witli tremendous en
thusiasm by a most respon
sive audience.
Mr. Qmlieo looked the part
of the young operatic bari
tone and sang with consider
ably ease, a program that in
no wise spared his vocal
technique.
The Quilico voice is a
powerful one, almost too big
for the size of the hall and
he gave full range to its
power in those songs and
arias designed for the opera
stage. This in no wise de
tracted from his perfor
mance, but rather lent en
chantment for the voice was
melodious and completely
Lee from any harshness that
would have been e vident in
the small hall.
The program as printed
was an exciting one and this
reviewer regrets only the
deletion of the two Brahms
selections for additional
French ones.
It is easy to see why Mr.
Qiiilico won the Metropoli
tan Auditions of the Air if
he sang then with the same
confidence, vocal command
and affable stage presence he
presented Tuesday evening.
Program Varied
The concert opened with
the Carissimi lament, Vit
torio mio core’ (Victorious
My Heart) which served to
present the Quilico voice in
some of its finest shadings.
The “Care Selvc” (Come Be
loved) of Handel and Lully s
"Song of Charon” followed.
With the presentation of
the next group, the singer
had his audience completely
with him. He offered Bee
thoven’s “In questa tomba
oseura” (In This Sepulehural
1 darkness), R aeh m an i nofs
“In the Silent Night”, Du
parc's “Phydile”, Faure’s
“Les Berceaux” (The Crad
les) and his “Canson du

Pecheur” (Song of the Fisher
man).
The first half of the con
cert closed with the singing
of the familiar and difficult
Figaros aria from Rossinis
The Barber of Seville, “Lar
go al factotum”. This aria is
a challenge to every aspir
ing operatic baritone because
the artist is more or less free
to develop his own inter
pretation of the difficult
aria. The way it is sung has
often become a trade mark
for great singers. Quilico
was not unusual in this re
spect, he too had his own in
terpretation and rendition.
It was good, loosing only by
contrast with more familiar
offerings . the traditional
whistle was gone .... as was
the incredible speed with
which some singers present
several of the passages, a
vocal tongue twister without
equal.
Second Half Delights
The second half of the
concert found the audience
pleasantly settled for more
enjoyable music, and the art
ist did not disappoint.
The second half opener
was Gerard’s aria from the
opera, Andrea Chenier by
Giordano “Nemico Della
patria. This famous aria was
followed by a group of Eng
lish language songs: “My
Lady Walks In Loveliness”,
by Charles; “Over the Step
pe” (not in English), by Gre
chaninoff; “Song of the Flea
((always a hit when well
sung and no exception at
this concert) by Moussorg
sky; “Go Lovely Rose of
Quilter; and “Mighty Lak* A
Rose,” by Nevin.
Tile formal program end
ed with a rousing interpreta
tion of the famous Escainillo
aria from Bizet’s opera, (Jar
men the “Toreadors
Song”.
Generous Encores
The artist was most gen
erous with liis encores, offer
ing three of them when fie
must have been extremely
tired after an exacting pro
gram as well as the school
concerts he has given here
in Sitka. The audience even
• hen was loath to let him go.
Brilliant Accompanist
A word or two must be
given to Lina Pizzolongo
(Mrs. Quilieo) for her su
perb piano assistance. That
she was a concert pianist of
no mean ability was evident,
though she never once lost
sight of the musical fact that
hers was a secondary role.
It was with regret that the
concert ended without a so
lo number from her enchant
ed fingers.
We await with interest
next year’s crop of artists on
the Alaska Music Trail.

*dco> from o»her editor*
Prom The Barnesboro Star,
Barneaboro, Pa.: A firm and em
phatic two-pronged policy U need
ed by the present rdmmistiation
to bring the United States out of
its present business doldrums and
restore a semblance of prosperity
to this greatest of nations in the
world.
The first and easiest step is cur
rently being taken by both the
state of Pennsylvania and the fed
eral government. This is the pro
motion of job-producing projects,
such as the building of highways,
schools, recreation parks, and oth
er government-sponsored projects.
The federal government also has
on the agenda a restoration of
spending for defense as a pump
priming device. Cutbacks in de
fense spending was a contributory
cause to the present recession.
This is pump-priming at its best
but it is necessary at this point.
The second step is one that will
take some “guts” in the part of
the politicians, many of them fac
ing reelection this year. It is for
Congress to tell labor and industry
that they must hold the line on
wages and prices. If wages and
prices are not stabilized, then the
pump-priming will bring further
inflation and the nation will be
worse off then ever.
Price and wage control is never
given a rousing welcome on either
side. But it should be given seri
ous consideration at this stage of
our battle to stem the growing tide
of unemployment. There is abso
lutely no iv.jnt in the government
spending money on Job-producing
projects if the fruits of ihe cam
paign are to be devoured by high
er prfces.
T abor leaders should consider
the welfare of the entire nation,
not just of their union coffers, and
temper their demands to meet
present condiWos. By the • ame
token, industry must ho id the Une
on prices. But too often we ?.nd
unscrupulous ones in both camps
who will take advantage of the sit
uation. Tb’se, in turn, prompt
others to follow suit. That is why
| we recommend federal control of
prices and wages at this time.
From the South Pasadena Re
view, South Pasadena, Calif.: It's
an ill wind that blows nobody good,
and even the scientific hurricane
stirred up by Russia’s space sat
ellites may puff a few benefits the
American taxpayers’ wav.
If the reports are verified by fu
ture events. Comrade Khrushchev
may inadvertently and ironically
have made of himself a capita
ist hero.
