...form of a small-scale musical play. The prototype is The End, their enigmatic, 11½-minute string of visions apparently revolving around an Oedipus situation, in which Morrison portrays several roles-some behind a red mask. Last week, opening an engagement at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium, they introduced The Unknown Soldier, an antiwar philippic with martial music, shouted commands, the loading click of a rifle and shots mixed in with instrumental passages...
Practically the whole auditorium was on its feet, cheering wildly, beginning the chants of "Fi--del! Fi--del! Fi--del!" Except not everybody was cheering. Up on the stage, sitting in front of a massive portrait of Che Guevara, were the heads of the delegations, and it was one of those moments of total choice: you either cheer or you don't.

...himself. I have complete trust in him." Penderecki was talking about the musical director of the Minneapolis Symphony, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, 44. Later in the week, Skrowaczewski returned the compliment by leading his orchestra, soloists and local choristers in two austerely jolting performances of the Passion at Minneapolis' Northrup Auditorium...
