Show William Bennett dazzles and delights recital audience The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, 8 E March 14,1982 By Paul Wetzel Dancers take to the road Tribune Staff Writer Americans are discovering that there are flute virtuosos in the world besides The Frenchman and The Irishman There also is The Englishman. He is William Bennett He has produced an extensive recorded repertoire, much of it with Neville Marnner and the Academy of Saint He also has collaborated on records with harpsichordist George Malcolm and the English Chamber Orchestra and with pianist Clifford Benson His recordings are just now beginning to become available in the United States He also is becoming better known in America as a concert artist, and for the last several years he has taught master classes in this country as part of his international itinerary. Last week that itinerary included Utah Mr Bennett gave master classes at Brigham Young University and the University of Utah, where on Friday hp and Mr. Benson also gave a recital Martin-in-the-Field- March finds two of Utah's dance companies on tour.

(If the title seems to hint at a Weber opera, you're on the right track ) romantic virtuoso The Taffanel is an all-oshowpiece, a sort of dramatic coloratura aria for the flute, and Mr. Bennett delighted his listeners with an unabashed display of amazing technical control and dexterity. On several occasions there literally was ornamentation of the ornamentation Utahns must have been hearing the fastest flute in the West at the time. After intermission, Messrs. Bennett and Benson turned their attentions to the famous Franck Sonata for Violin and Piano, which is often performed by flutists, cellists and even violists in the solo role. This interpretation managed to pay careful attention to both the romantic and impressionist elements in the score. The piece was highly charged when it needed to be, but tempos were never rushed. There was brilliant color, but there was soft, peaceful playing as well And everywhere along the way, both flutist and pianist seemed to come up with the right touch for the moment. This was a particularly fine collaboration. It appears that the flute world has yet another Pied Piper.

It opened with the courtly grace and florid ornamentation of the fourth of Francois Couperin's Concerts royaux. The work is in the form of a Baroque suite, and Mr. Bennett made a strong case for the individual personality of each movement. Particularly noteworthy were the distinvive articulation in the penultimate movement and the light but cleanly articulated playing in the last movement. Mr. Benson kept his accompaniment squarely in the background. His playing was stylistically astute, but the part obviously was meant to be played on a harpsichord, not a piano. The pianist had the solo spotlight all to himself for the programs next selection, the Mozart Rondo in A minor, K 511, which he gave a clear, unsentimental reading. The right hand dominated the textures of this haunting piece, and though Mr. Benson did not produce any outstanding subtleties, he did show solid musicianship and a lirm grasp of Mozart piano style. and Paquita.
