Elsewhere in the last couple of seasons, Levine's guest conducting with the Los Angeles and New York philharmonics and the Boston Symphony has instantly won the kind of acclaim-from critics, public and musicians alike-that most conductors take years to attain. His debut recording, the complete Joan of Arc by Verdi (Angel), starring Montserrat Caballé, Placido Domingo and Sherrill Milnes, confirms the skill and flair for Italian opera that Levine has shown in two years on the podium of the Metropolitan Opera...
...moment in his career had come; in the late 1530s, while he was working on the construction of Villa Cricoli near Vicenza, its owner took him under his wing. Giangiorgio Trissino, a wealthy humanist with a special interest in architecture, renamed his protégé Palladio, after an Angel of Architecture who appeared in one of Trissino's own cumbrous poems. He took the young man on several journeys to Rome. There, awed by the half-buried ruins, Palladio began the long work of measurement, analysis and drawing that would turn him into the leading architectural theorist...

Indeed there is not a pianist around these days who-so far, at least-can match the cascading joy of these performances...
Bruch: Two Violin Concertos (Yehudi Menuhin, soloist, plays Concerto No. 1 in G Minor and No. 2 in D Minor, London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Adrian Boult conducting, Angel; $5.98). The G Minor Violin Concerto was an instant success, but to Max Bruch's sorrow his second violin concerto won only initial acclaim that soon faded. While the world applauded the G Minor, the neglected D Minor remained Bruch's favorite. Now Yehudi Menuhin has recorded the pair in a performance of such luscious tone and melodic charm that even Bruch's duckling is at last a swan...
