Actually, rather than being any adaptation of "Sanford and Son," the film is an adaptation of a play that closed on Broadway after 10 By Michael Anthony Staff Writer Ruben Gonzalez, concertmaster of the North German Radio Symphony of Hamburg, Germany, performed as guest artist the Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 2 with the Minnesota Orchestra Wednesday night, though it was the final work on the program, Bartok's suite from "The Miraculous Mandarin," that made the most vivid Impression of the evening.

Gonzalez, born in Argentina, was for a number of years (until 1971) associated concertmaster of this orchestra, and before going to Hamburg he served as soloist and music director of the Argentinian Chamber Orchestra. One is accustomed to an approach to the Prokofiev No. 2 a bit more hotblooded than Gonzalez provided. The special technical difficulties of the piece presented, on the other hand, no barrier for him, as Gonzalez possesses a lightning-fast left hand and a completely steady bowing arm. Also, his top notes on this occasion were crystal clear.

Nonetheless, the work seemed under-played, its sweeping turbulence unacknowledged. The middle movement was something of a caress, which Is appropriate, but the outer movements lacked ur-Eencv and a sense of DroDulsion.

However it arrived at the screen, the Foxx-dominated film sounds very much like an elongated "Sanford" episode, with the main theme of the insult humor switched from racial to sexual. No point at all, in fact, is made of the fact that the black son's gay paramour is white, and the crusty father's barbs are all aimed at his own stereotypes of the gay lifestyle.

I have my own stereotypes of such plays, and tend to lump them all as the work of Neil Simon, although the actual play-writing credit belongs to Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick, who then collaborated with producer-director George Schlatter on the screen version. Schlatter, whose TV production background has ranged from "Laugh-In" to the "Cher" series, turned to video technique for "Norman Is That You?" The show was videotaped and then transferred to film for theatrical release. The result does not look like videotape, but like a photographically unimaginative film job, a workmanlike but dull recording of a play in progress.

It turns out the congressman was the prosecutor who sent the fellow to prison for murder.

Now the murderer wants to put the congressman on trial for faking evidence, retaining 12 passengers aboard the plane to serve as a jury. "Now who wants to be foreman of the jury?" he demands. "Pardon me, I mean foreperson. Even though I been locked up, I kept in touch." Jazzy skyjacking melodrama fizzles into silly airborne courtroom melodrama, with hero Line coming back from the cockpit to act as mediator when the legalistic stuff gets tangled. Premiere appraisal: nice takeoff, sticky landing.

One could hardly complain about lack of energy, however, In the remainder of the program, conducted by Stanislaw Skrowac-zewski. The curtain-raiser, cleanly and dashingly executed, was the overture to Rossini's "La Sca-la di Seta." Then it was on to weightier matters the Beethoven Symphony No. 2, of which the tempos were brisk throughout and the outer movements taut with energy and drive.

Skrowaczewski rightly discerns the larger dimensions of the Second Symphony without resorting to any Bruckner-type metaphysics. He began the great Introduction with firmness and gravity, and he took the ensuing Allegro fast, but not so fast that the violin runs were merely slurs, as is so often the case in of this work. His slow movement, taken in a straightforward manner, was played by lush-sounding strings, and if his Scherzo could have used a lighter touch, there was nothing to quarrel with in the finale, charged through with Toscanini-like momentum. The Bartok performance seemed something of a carry-over from the Beethoven, in terms, again, of energy. The main problem with this score, however, as with Stravinsky's early ballets, is sorting things out, keeping the line of the piece clear.

True, things did get muddy occasionally in the most complex passages, though for the most part, order reigned, either by maintaining an even balance or by highlighting certain lines, such as the trombone blasts in the opening section. Over-all, the work, which contains some of Bartok's most brilliant orchestral writing, emerged with shape and great vitality, the many woodwind solos played with finesse and perfect 50 63 72 Time 1 p.m. 1 p.m. 3 p.m. 8 a.m.

Today's National Weather Service forecast Supplied by the Associated Press By Michael Anthony Staff Writer Singer-songwriter Neil Diamond, backed by a seven-piece band and one female singer, performed a two-hour concert with no intermission before a near-capacity crowd of 16,740 devoted fans at the St. Paul Civic Center Arena inspired by an ad lib from the audience. His instincts as a performer are keen: such momentary dalliances with audience members are never allowed to slacken the pace of the show. Nor, as happens among some contemporary middle-of-the-road pop performers, such as Tony Orlando, does Diamond allow what one can only call ego to get in the way of the show.

And it pays off: Before Diamond's tour of Australia early this year, blank checks were mailed to halls it was assumed he would play, requesting seats and letting the ticket office fill in the amount. And Tuesday night, it seemed the audience would have thrown blank checks onstage to convince Diamond to sing all night. Tuesday night.

How does one reconcile the private Neil Diamond the shy, rather neurotic figure we've been reading about all these years with the smooth, confident entertainer who played the civic center Tuesday night? Facets of a single personality, I suppose. One thing Is clear, however: Diamond, the performer who seemed somewhat aloof onstage in earlier years, he's changed.

His much-discussed 2-year sabbatical beginning in 1972 added to his ease and stature as a performer. He retains his singular intensity delivering his own songs and vocally he was in very good shape Tuesday night but also he still seems to need some kind of indication that the audience is fully with him before he can feel complete rapport with it. In this case, it was the huge ovation given the fifth song on the lineup, "Cherry, Cherry," that did it. His performance changed slightly at that point. Diamond seemed to loosen up both vocally and emo-tioSilly, and before the evening was out he had even spontaneously composed a song titled "Don't Put the Roses in Your Martini," much of Minnesota and all of Wisconsin over the next 30 days, with there is almost certain to be a class near you.
