Spain's Communist leaders remained unruffled. For one thing, such attacks from Moscow seem to confirm Carrillo's independence and could thus increase his party's popularity among Spanish voters. For another, as Party Spokesman Angel Mullor explained, the article "has not surprised us in any way. What is lamentable is that it shows the inability of its authors [to discuss] these themes without prejudice and obstinate dogma...
...surprisingly, since the marriage began in the late 19th century, I Do, I Do is almost unbelievably sexist in its entire conception. As Agnes, Adrianne Angel plays a housewife who is innocent and fairly childish, but who provides the family's stability.

He not only included every kind of dance movement previously used (saraband, gigue, minuet) but also introduced some that had not been: capriccio, rondeau and scherzo. The French style of ornamentation, so essential a part of this music, is something Harpsichordist Igor Kipnis has long since mastered. His mordents, appoggiaturas and other embellishments have the ring...
