SHERMAN Sculptor Richard Randell has a fixation resembling that of William Ellery Leonard, who wrote "The Locomotive God," the difference being that Randell embraces By DAN SULLIVAN Minneapolis Tribune Staff Writer So Jo Lutz Rollins won't be going to Europe after all this summer. So she'll open an art gallery instead. Mrs. Rollins, one of Minnesota's best-known landscape painters, was to lead a group of local artists around Europe starting June 30. But the deal fell through when only six persons signed up for the tour.

"Too bad," said Mrs. Rollins, who did not study perspective in her youth for nothing. "But let me tell you about the gallery." THE NAME Is the West Lake Gallery and it will be where "Le Zoo," the teen-agers' coffeehouse, used to be at 1612 W. Lake st-. Mrs- Roiims said.

It opens June id. Mrs. Rollins and five other women artists Janice Lorning, Mary Killeen, Betty Olson, Renee Na-deau and Lorraine Cote are starting the gallery. "We were going to call it 'Les but we were afraid that would confuse people," Mrs. Rollins said.

The group felt, in general, that Minneapolis needed another gallery; in particular, that they needed a place to show their work. THEIR WORK is "middle of the road not terribly abstract," Mrs. Rollins said. "The sort of painting people can really put on their walls." This is the sort of paint- VOUT THE FIRST THEY WANT 16.

HANGS A PAINTING Lake Gallery Summer Session Orchestra Will Change Its Name The formerly titled Summer Session Orchestra will become this summer the Minneapolis Symphony Summer Session Orchestra, playing over a period of nine weeks during the summer's two terms at Northrop Auditorium. The change in title, according to James S. Lombard, University of Minnesota concerts and lectures director, signifies an effort to increase the use of the Minneapolis Symphony during the summer, and to employ a larger portion of its personnel in future off-seasons. This summer the orchestra will comprise about 50 members, and its first concert will be held at 8 p.m.

June 16, with Frederick Fennell conducting and Robert Goodloe, baritone winner of the 1964 Upper Midwest regional opera auditions, as soloist. The orchestra will accompany the Andahazy Ballet Borealis in a special program June 30, and will appear with the Summer Session Chorus July 14. Both concerts will be conducted by Fennell. Other events of the summer series will be a drama duo, Nancy Evans and Bob Leonard, in "A Portrait of Joan of Arc" June 23; Rose Byrum, soprano, in song recital June 25; the Afro-West Indian Review, a dance program, July 9, and a concert by the Harvard Glee Club and Rad-cliffe Choral Society July 11.

Another difference is that Randell's sculpture, despite its aspect of aggressive modernity, is essentially nostalgic. By that I mean that in Leonard's time (1927) the railroad was still America's dominant means of transportation, whereas Randell's evocation of massive and grappling steel shapes "takes one back," as the saying goes. Here are the relics and appurtenances, welded into compelling shapes and symbols, of the heroic age of railroading hardly remindful of our streamlined trains of today, or of buses or airplanes for that matter. Randell's one-man show at Walker Art Center is so original in source and application of ideas, and its bold handling of heavy "scrap" objects, as to make much current welded sculpture look finicky by comparison. Behind it is not only an effort at pure abstract art but a feeling for the man-made objects telling the story of strength and speed in the heyday of the steam locomotive.

You can almost hear the clang of cars coupling, almost smell the cindered smoke seeping through the train windows. The show ranges from a series of smaller pieces titled "Railheads" to big duels of steel called "Triple Coupler" and "The Derailer" and to such massive conceptions as "The Switcher," where a feeling of lyricism offsets the great weight of a pipe network holding aloft an old and weathered wooden beam. There are also drawings and some pieces of painted auto hoods and flat and rusted iron 1964 versions of tapestries. JOHN K. SHERMAN is book and arts critic for the Minneapolis Tribune and the Minneapolis Star.

FISCHER-DIESKAU Despair of rejected love THE CAECILIA MANDOLINE PLAYERS (Philips PHS-900-049), which may catch you by surprise in that it includes a Beethoven sonatina and adagio for the mandolin, both charming. Two Mozart songs, sung by tenor Paul Conrad with accompaniment by the mandolinists, also are pleasing. There is also a quaint concerto for flute and strings by Johann Quantz, famous 18th century composer for flute. The Vienna Philharmonic is heard in the latter, with Bernhard Paumgartner conducting and Hubert Bahrwahser as flutist. EDWIN L.

tome of gloomy sentiments surrounding rejected love, deepening in despair as the traveler airs his heartache on a long, aimless trek over a cold, white landscape. Some of the poetry (by Wilhelm Mueller) reads in print as overly sentimental and so filled with self-pity as to sit uncomfortably on the mind. But Schubert's music, magical in its simplicity, somehow refines these feelings and tightens them up. And Fischer-Dieskau has a masterful sense of proportion in playing out the emotions on a line that avoids wallows and builds in intensity over the cycle. Additionally, his vocal-ism is enviably free and easy, his diction clean and his total output sensitive to the flow of phrase and inflections of mood.

With Gerald Moore accompanying (he and Fischer-Dieskau are a standing team), this album belongs right up front. Igor Stravinsky, in his LE BAISER DE LA FEE (The Fairy's Kiss) ballet score, paid tribute to Tchaikovsky, by choosing liberally from Tchaikovsky themes. However, he gave them distinctive treatment and worked them in with his own material, typically inventive in harmonies and rhythms. Conductor Ernest Anser-met, with L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, is known as a Stravinsky interpreter and his recording of the ballet (London CS-6368) is most worthwhile. There is yet another new Beethoven SYMPHONY NO.

6 (Pastoral), by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic (Deutsche Grammophon 138 805). There is no lack of outstanding versions of this, and choosing among them amounts to nit-picking and is frustrating as well. Von Karajan's treatment is big, the Berlin is a solid orchestra and the record bears a Grand Prix du Disque tag. Those are impressive credentials. Over-all, the performance may strike one as on the solemn and pretentious side, however.
