Over it all hovered Golden Door Keeper Edmund Bordeaux Szekely (pronounced Saykay), a bald, round-bellied Transylvanian who obviously shuns his own exercises. Entrepreneur Szekely is a sometime archaeologist, philosopher, biochemist and author (he claims 69 books). By his own admission, he speaks 14½ languages, the 50% lingo being English. His cosmetics, says he grandly, are drawn from history, e.g., General Potemkin's letters taught him the oils used by Catherine the Great (Siberian fir needles, hay, geranium and lilac), and Anne Marie's exercises are supposedly based on a calisthenics drill devised by Leonardo da Vinci...

...repeated the second movement, a rare procedure in staid old Symphony Hall. Khrennikov's First Symphony proved to be a broadly melodic crowd-rouser, and Amirov's Kyurdi-Ovshari Mugami was so heavily coated with schmalzy melody that one listener cracked: "The triumph of the proletariat on Bald Mountain." Nevertheless, the audience shouted its approval, while the Russians, standing on the stage, applauded the spectators in return. "For Symphony Hall," said the radio announcer in the control booth, "it's a rather wild scene." Said Cellist Mayes: "Musicians are the same the world over...
