Page 4 MAROON ANu UULU FRIDAY, October 25.19BB Guthrie Wins Great Praise With Concert By DAVID BRtWIN The Elon College Ly ceum, in conjunction with the Elon Student Govern ment Association, pre sented Robert Guth rie, classical guitarist, in recital in Whitley Au ditorium on Tuesday, Oc tober 15th, before a large and enthusiastic crowd. The program opened with three Pavanas and a Fantasia by Luis Milan, an important composer from the Spanish Renais sance. These pieces were handled in masterful style by Mr. Guthrie, who play ed them with technical perfection and captured the true meaning of the Renaissance mood. The next section was the Suite in D-Minor by Robert de Visce, a gui tarist and composer from the court of Louis XIV, and the artist played his own arrangement of this suite, demonstrating not only his virtuosity on the guitar but alsoconsumate knowledge of the musical art with which he is in volved. No guitar recital would be complete without some Bach selections, and Mr. Guthrie chose to play a Sarabande and a Bour- ree, two dances of the Ba roque Period, playing them with preciseness and technical mastery that is required of all Bach compositions, re gardless of the medium employed. He also infused a certain vitality into his interpretation and playing of these pieces that is often omitted by other performers of Bach. To complete the first half of the program, Mr. Guthrie presented a Pre- ludio, Balleto and Guige by Manuel Ponce in the style of Sylvius Leopold Weiss, famous Baroque lutenist and composer. These pieces require great manual dexterity and tonal control from a guitarist, and the artist displayed both qualities. After intermission, there were two pieces by Frederico Moreno-Tor- roba, great impres sionistic composer of Spain, in these pieces Mr. Guthrie employed a deli cate blending of tonal nu ances along with tremen dous speed and control. The high point of the program was the tremen dously difficult Cavatina by Alexander Tansman, a piece which requires technical perfection in all phases of guitar perform ance, and there is nothing which can be said to do real justice to the ar tistry with which Guthrie played this great work. Rounding out the even ing’s entertainment Guthrie played two Vene- -iuelan waltzes by Antonio Lauro. Although of a lighter nature than the other pieces, they are Ttill quite demanding, and the guest artist played them with case and grace remjrkdble in such a youthful performer.
