Two completely different approaches to violin playing characterized yesterday's concert at Aams House. The first was that of Harvard's Edward Filmanowicz, who played sonatas by Beethoven and Faure with superb piano accompaniment by Robert Freeman. Filmanowicz was fiery and exciting, and brought out all the dramatic aspects of the music. His tone was somewhat ascetic at times, but his sense of pace and climax brought the music to life.

In complete contrast was the style of Bernard Ocko, a professional violinist now the concert master for the "Pipe Dream" orchestra. Ocko played a series of short pieces with a rich, sweet tone and a great use of violin effects, such as harmonics and double stops. Two of the pieces he played, Adagic and Lullabyc were his own; they were written in the Romantic idiom, showed a pleasant knowledge of melodic style, and surely would be successful in an Hungarian Restaurant.

Another feature of the concert was the performance of two Baroque flute sonatas with the accompaniment of a harpsichord, played nicely by Sy Hayden. Flautist Eric Herz overcame some nervousness at the beginning of a sonata by Loeillet and went on to play Bach's Sonata in G minor with assurance. The work is a typical Italian trio-sonata structure enriched by Bach's genius.

Joel Reynolds of Adams House deserves credit for raising the level of performance in the traditionally irregular series of Sunday afternoon concerts.
