Symphony of sound: Budapest orchestra to feature U.S. pianist
By JESSICA YATES
Staff Writer
The Budapest Symphony Orches
tra, featuring the acclaimed American
pianist Leonard Pennario as the guest
soloist, will perform tonight at 8 p.m.
in Memorial Hall.
The concert, a Carolina Union
Performing Arts Series presentation,
is part of the Budapest Symphony
Orchestra's first U.S. tour in 10 years.
The orchestra will perform works by
Zoltan Kodaly, Aram Khachaturian
and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The pieces performed will be
"Dances of Galanta" by Kodaly, three
movements from Khachaturian's
"Concerto for Piano and Orchestra"
and four movements from "Sym
phony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64" by
Tchaikovsky.
The orchestra was founded right
after World War II when the Hun
garian Radio was reorganizing. The
group now has more than 65 record
ings to its name. World-famous
conductors have frequently highligh
ted the symphony's performances,
including Georg Solti and Leopold
Stokowski.
Gyorgy Lehel will be conductor for
the Chapel Hill performance. Lehel
has been the musical director and
chief conductor of the Budapest
Symphony Orchestra since 1962. He
has an honorary doctoral degree in
music from the Chicago Conserva
tory of Music. Lehel has also won
the Liszt Prize twice and has been
awarded all of the top -Hungarian
music awards.
Pennario will be the soloist in
Khachaturian's concerto. He is con
sidered to be one of America's most
accomplished pianists, as he has
appeared with every major orchestra
in the country. He has also toured
in Europe and the Far East and has
performed on the PBS show "Gala
of Stars."
Pennario also has worked with
numerous top-notch conductors,
including Arthur Fiedler Robert
Shaw and Eugene Ormandy. He has
been a guest at various summer
festivals too, such as the one at North
Carolina's Brevard Music Center.
A professional pianist since the age
of 12, Pennario has an extensive
discography of more than 20 record
ings. His latest release is an album
of solo piano pieces by George
Gershwin, including Gershwin's pop
ular "Song Book." The London
Times wrote, "He is an extraordinar
ily refined artist with fingers as agile
and a mind as subtle as those of the
very greatest pianist memory can
recall."
It is Pennario's connection to
Gershwin's music that he is perhaps
most recognized for. It was four
seasons ago that he performed Gersh
win's "I Got Rhythm Variations" on
PBS, and two seasons ago that he

"Rhapsody in Blue" at a celebration
commemorating the 50th anniversary
of Gershwin's death at the Alice Tully
Hall in the Lincoln Center. j
Pennario's music career started in
1936 when the soloist scheduled to
play with the Dallas Symphony
Orchestra canceled. Sir Eugene
Goosens recommended Pennario, a
1 2-year-old at the time, to replace the
other pianist. In six days, Pennario
learned the material for the sym
phony and performed it successfully.

tra with Pennario as guest pianist will
perform Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. in Memor
ial Hall. Reserved seat tickets are $16
for the general public and two for
$16 for UNC students. Tickets are

Valentine's
food to fit
the mood i
By LAURA FRANCIS
Staff Writer
Even though couples often go out
to eat on a regular date, dining out
on Valentine's Day is often a roman
tic way to enjoy the day. And with
the abundance of restaurants in
Chapel Hill, there are romantic meals
to fit any budget.
The Carolina Coffee Shop, with its
candlelight and classical music,
provides a tranquil atmosphere for
couples. Byron Freeman, the owner
of the Carolina Coffee Shop, says,
"Many proposals have been made
here over the years."
The Italian Aurora Restaurant in
Carr Mill Mall is "romantic in itself,"
says owner Hank Straus. Aurora will
be having specials on sparkling wines
for Valentine's Day. "The shared
dinners for two will provide a fo6d
and wine festival," he says.
Couples can order a specially
prepared European Valentine's meal
at Cracovia Restaurant, according to
owner Mareck Maciolowski. "The
cozy tables for two with white
tablecloths and candles provide ' a
romantic, intimate atmosphere," he
says.
Slug's at the Pines will give.a
carnation and sachet to every female
guest, says manager Amy Sanders. A
specially priced dinner for two will
include s'ucrj delicacies as chateaubfi
and or a trilogy of lobster, beef and
veal medallions, as well as a seafood
sampler appetizer and fresh berrries
or a puff pastry, she says.
"We have one of the best romantic
atmospheres in town," Sanders says.
Mariakakis' Restaurant and Bak
ery always has a special meal on
holidays, according to retired owner
Tom Mariakakis. For $6.50, the
bakery will make a heart-shaped,
yellow, white or chocolate personal
ized cake for customers who call at
least a day before Valentine's Day.
If being completely alone appeals
to a couple rather than fighting the
crowds in restaurants, having a picnic
may be the answer. "A romantic
atmosphere is all you need, if you're
not over the hill," says Danny
Trivette, manager of Harris-Teeter
Supermarket on Raleigh Road.
But for those who would like to
bring a little food along on the
rendezvous, Trivette recommends the
store's chicken cordon bleu from the
service meat case along with fried
mushrooms, a spinach salad, plain
cheesecake and white wine.
Stuart Dixon, a stocker at Fowler's
Food Store, suggests a "dinner" of
strawberries and Dom Perignon to
celebrate an ideal Valentine's Day.
Maybe a couple needs something
to spark the romance in their rela
tionship. According to legend, certain
foods such as oysters may help
facilitate romance. "It's the vitamin
E in oysters that makes it an aph
rodisiac," Trivette says.
Sheryl Moody, cashier at Kroger
Store, says "Supposedly asparagus is
a bit of an aphrodisiac, too."
And Gene Palmer, co-owner of
Daly and Forbes catering service,
offers an unusual combination:
"Olives and absinthe, which I believe
is banned in the United States, have
something inside them that make you
passionate."
Even without the aphrodisiacs,
students have their own ideas of the
perfect Valentine's Day meal. "I'd like
a well-prepared meal with a good
wine and a sinful chocolate dessert,"
says sophomore Laura Blackstone
from Washington, N.C.
John Ouderkirk, a junior from
Atlanta, says his ideal Valentine's
Day would be sharing a light meal
with his Valentine so they could enjoy
drinking a bottle of wine and "cud
dling" afterwards. ,
David Spickard, a freshman from
Nashville, Tenn., says an outdoor
picnic would provide a romantic
setting. But if it's too cold, he'd like
to eat in a quiet, candlelit place with
some of his "funny" friends servipg
the meal.
