Baroque cellist entranced audience
in concert at Play makers Theater
By JEFF GROVE
Arts Editor
In its second concert, held Thursday in
Playmakers Theatre, the Society for Per
formance on Original Instruments proved
that it can do as well with guest recitals as
it can with its own concerts. Baroque
cellist Anner Byisma's solo performance
entranced a near-capacity audience.
Bylsma, a performer of worldwide
distinction with numerous recordings to
his credit, won the 1959 Pablo Casals
Competition. He has especially
distinguished himself in the Netherlands,
winning the Royal Conservatory's Prix
d'excellence and serving for six years as
principal cellist of Amsterdam's Concert
gebouw Orchestra.
For his program in Chapel Hill,
Bylsma chose the second, fourth and
sixth of J.S. Bach's Six Suites for Solo
Cello. The suites of dance music, each
containing a prelude, allemande,
courante, sarabande and gigue with a set
of paired dances before the final gigue,
are all virtuoso works. Bylsma astonished
his audience not only with his brilliant
playing but also by performing the entire
90-minute concert from memory.
The Suite No. 2 in D minor, the only
one of the suites cast in a minor key, was
an effective way to open the recital.
Bylsma did not simply play the cello; he :
caressed his instrument, coaxing beautiful

THEATRES
autumnal sounds from it. The suite's
prelude, with its moodiness and Byisma's
highly personal interpretation of it, was
especially effective.
The fourth suite, in E-flat Major,
demanded more of Bylsma than the se
cond, but his increased care and feeling
seemed to come with no added effort.
The rushing Allemande and the joyous
Bourree I provided a striking contrast to
the prevailing darker mood of the con
cert. After intermission Bylsma brought out
a five-string cello for the Suite No. 6 in D
Major. In the Sarabande and gavottes,
Bylsma easily managed the difficult
chords called for in the music.
Byisma's consummate musicianship
was not Jost on his local audience, which
accorded him four bows and demanded
and was graciously provided with
an encore.
It is not often that a performer in
Chapel Hill makes an instrument sing
with an almost human voice, but Thurs
day was one of those enchanted evenings,
as Bylsma made the impossible look simple.

Perhaps the biggest by-products of competitive athletics are
emotions.
Highs and lows pervade the sports scene before, during
and after a game. Nowhere was this more evident than at the
end of Virginia's 17-14 win over UNC Saturday.
One glimpse into each locker room afterward told the story.
The North Carolina contingent was clearly disconsolate.
The seniors were stung most by the upset that marked UNC's
third consecutive defeat. Wide receiver Mark Smith labored
hard to find the right words to express his feelings.
Sports
"It seems like all my goals are really wrecked right now,"
Smith said. "Everything has been taken away."
Senior offensive tackle Joe Conwell said the disappointment
was even greater when he considered the preseason goals set for
the team by the senior calss.
"We wanted to win every football game we played, win the
ACC championship and play in a major bowl game," he said.
"We wanted this year to be special and a lot of the uniqueness
of this team is disintegrating in what could have been a really
special year."
Tight end Billy Griggs, whose 33-yard touchdown catch
sparked the Cavaliers, typified the Virginia spirit.
"It feels great," Griggs said. "I've been waiting four years for
this and we finally did it."
Defensive end Mark Wiley's interception in the final minutes
sealed Virginia's sixth victory. He described the feeling of
beating UNC.
"North Carolina is ranked, and winning is recognition for
us," Wiley said. "There was a little more enthusiasm on campus
this week. Everybody seems to have a vendetta against UNC."
Many UNC players, like fullback Eddie Colson, found it very
difficult to pinpoint what had happened.
"We worked hard, but it just seemed like we couldn't get
anything going," Colson said. "Everything went their way. We
had a few letdowns that seriously hurt us. The last three weeks
we've hurt ourselves with our own mistakes.
"(Still), I can't explain what happened out there today," Col
son added. -
UNC coach Dick Crum was quick to credit Virginia coach
George Welsh's work with the bowl hopeful Cavaliers.
"Quite imply, Virginia deserved to win the football game,"
Crum said.
"They made the plays in the second half and we didn't.
George has done a good job of bringing this team along."
Welsch evaluated the impact of the victory amidst the excite
ment in the Virginia locker room.
"This is one of the greatest wins for me personally and is the
biggest win for this team since my regime," Welsh said. "We
beat a quality football team, one with a winning record."
And while Virginia celebrated a winning season, Conwell
summed up UNC's frustration.
1
"It still can be salvaged if we go out with a win," Conwell
said. "Eight wins is not a bad season, but...."
Blue- White time moved
North Carolina's second Blue
White basketball game Saturday has
been moved up from 4:30 p.m. to 1
p.m. The move is designed to ac
commodate the UNC-Duke foot
ball game, which has been changed
from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. so that it may
be regionally televised on CBS.
Tickets are now on sale for the
UNC-Missouri game Nov. 26 in
Greensboro. Students can purchase
up to two tickets, the first costing
$5.50 and the second $11.
Fencers take two firsts
North Carolina's men's and
women's fencing teams captured
two first places and two seconds in
the Carolina Cup, which was held
Saturday and Sunday in Fetzer
Gym.
In women's foil, North
Carolina's team of Karen Marnell,
Cindy Killian, Beth MacMahon and
Eva Compton took first. The team
of Bobby Bosworth, Chris Heinlein
and Scott Echols won the men's
epee competition.
In the men's foil, Amiel Rossabi,
Greg Goyne and Mark Elvin
finished second. The team of Lon
nie McCullough, Tony Sharpe and
Richard Hoile was second in the
men's sabre. '
'Osterman Weekend' confusing, disappointing
By IVY MILLIARD
Staff Writer
The latest offering of director Sam Peckinpah is
The Osterman Weekend, based on the novel of the
same name by Robert Ludlum, and this film is the
first Ludlum novel adapted for the screen. Unfor
tunately the movie will disappoint fans of Ludlum or
Peckinpah and anyone else attracted by the film's
top-notch cast.
Director Peckinpah achieved fame in the late 60s
and early 70s with critically acclaimed films like
Straw Dogs and The Wild Bunch. This aggressive
brand of filmmaking employs more than its share of
slow motion violence of the flesh-tearing and blood
splattering variety. However, his last film, 1978's
badly received Convoy, did not fare as well as his ear
ly efforts.
Surprisingly, The Osterman Weeken d concentrates
less on episodes of violence than other Peckinpah
films. The emphasis falls on relationships, and con
tains much more sexually explicit material.
While containing some visually striking action se
quences, the film is simply too confusing for anyone
who has not read the novel. It takes so long to figure
out who the bad guys are and who the good guys are
that it is hard to care by the end of the movie. Even
an excellent cast, including Rutger Hauer, John Hurt
and Burt Lancaster, cannot sharpen the poorly defin
ed edges of the film.
Rutger Hauer, whose previous roles include a rebel
android in Blade Runner and Nazi Albert Speer on
television's Inside The Third Reich, plays John Tan
ner, a newsman who specializes in exposing govern
ment corruption and cover-ups on his TV show.
As it turns out, CIA Chief Maxwell Danforth,
played by Burt Lancaster, maintains that three of
Tanner's closest friends from college are Soviet
agents. He enlists the services of Agent Fasset (John
Hurt) to contact Tanner and convince him to help
"turn" these agents during the yearly reunion that
they call the Osterman weekend.
In the opening scene of the movie, a video tape
shows Fasset and his wife making love, and after
wards two men enter and kill the girl with a needle up
her nose. Television viewers may recognize the girl as
Merete Wan Kamp, seen recently in the title role of
Princess Daisy. Fasset uses this tape as a warning to
Tanner that he has no friends in the world he is about
to enter. Only later does the significance of this warn
ing become clear.
Tanner allows his home to be filled with state-of-the-art
surveillance equipment and agrees to allow his
wife (Meg Foster) and son to stay. When the net
begins to close on his friends successful TV pro
ducer Bernie Osterman, played by Craig T. Nelson
(the coach in All the Right Moves), a respected doc
tor (Dennis Hopper) and businessman Joe (Chris
Sharadon) they immediately suspect their friend
the expose king to be behind it all. The tension
builds to a confrontation before Fasset and his agents
move in. Only then does Tanner realize who the
enemy is and who he is after.
The ensuing action includes many slow-motion ac
tion scenes, including a great fight between Hauer,
who uses a baseball bat, and karate expert Bernie.
The end of the film, unfortunately, comes off as
being trite because exactly what happens to the real
villains is left up in the air. The confrontation bet
ween Tanner and Danforth on televison is also a let
down. The performances by Hauer, Lancaster, Hurt and
Nelson are all worth seeing, but The Osterman
Weekend is proof that good acting does not mean a
good movie.
