Concert tests unexpected ground The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, November 15 , 19843 lhe program for the Boston Svm phony Chamber Players concert Wed nesday night in Memorial Hall was quite adventurous. One piece was by a composer who hated the work's main instrument. Another was a lesser known work by a famous composer, and still another was a lesser-known work by a lesser-known composer. The concert, sponsored by the Carol ina Union, was the second of four in the Carolina Concerts Series. Performances of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Quartet in D for flute, violin, viola and cello, K. 285, are rare indeed. The work is one of three flute quartets Mozart was commissioned to write, and all three pieces suffer from the distinc tion that the composer despised the flute. Today it is hard to imagine how anyone could dislike the instrument's full-bodied tones and versatility, but in the late 18th century the flute was quite a different instrument. Most of them were made of wood, which gave the instrument an airy, wispy sound. They also lacked the incredible range of the modern-day flute, and were largely relegated to military purposes. Flutist Doriot Anthony Dwyer's playing was not as clear and precise as it was to be later in the program, and it had a hollow quality to its intonation. The work's first movement, an allegro, sounded more like a string Steve Carr Review quartet with a flute filling in for the first violin. Only in the second move ment was the piece really convincing as the flute played long, beautiful phrases and the strings played short, plucked notes. Leos Janacek's suite Mladi ( Youth) presented the largest ensemble on the program. Scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon and bass cla rinet, it also seemed more orchestral than the other two pieces. Composed when Janacek turned 70, Youth is a curious combination of conventional tonalities put into uncon ventional contexts. The harmonies are pure and simple by themselves, but when strung together are awkward and even discordant. The success of the piece lies in its evocation of innocence and clumsiness. The ensemble did an outstanding job of staying together despite the many players, and horn player Charles Kavalovski did a peerless job in some very tricky solos. Dvorak's Quartet No. 2 in E-flat for piano, violin, viola and cello, unlike Mozart's flute quartet, is not simply a string quartet with an odd instument filling in for the first violin. The piano's percussiveness and the strings' vibrato, the quality of pitch fluctuation, combine effectively to produce the lush tonalities typical of the Romantic period. Again, the players exerted good control and unity. While pianist Gilbert Kalish stumbled through the first statement in the first movement, his performance soon achieved the same virtuosic precision of the other players. While the program was unconven tional in having lesser-known pieces, it was a pleasant surprise. Not only were the performances brilliant, but the pieces themselves had special qualities absent from more familiar works.
