Uacli nf the three seasons In which Mr. Olornl has displayed his nrt to Philadel phia audiences has shown now growth. A technically protlclcnt and resourceful art ist from the beginning, ho has apparently lidded to tho perfection nf his craft from the executive side. Complementary has been a broadening of the Interpretative farulty, a deepfr Insight Into composers' meanings and a ravishing loveliness of tone In the current program Mr. Glornl was seen at his best estate. He opened his list with the A flat Sonata of Beethoven, a work that makes taxing de. mands lu Its variations from somberness to caprice, ln the "in.ircU funebre" and the "scherzo." A well selected Chopin group Included an unhackneyed Barcarolle, the Ktudo ill V major and the K major Scherzo.
