...reasonable interpretations of this load of Franck schmaltz: one can play it through straight-forwardly, or one can indulge in a bit of lingering and slavering. Given my preference for the latter, I found Lubin's performance flat and cold. However, neither preference calls for an overly heavy bass, unclear technical display, a constantly underfed melody, and brusquely punctuated phrases; though Mr. Lubin provided large-scale changes in loudness, he seemed little inclined to modulate within sections of the work...
Bruckner: Mass No. 3 in F Minor (Berlin Symphony, St. Hedwig's Cathedral Choir, Karl Forster conducting; Pilar Lorengar, soprano, Christa Ludwig, alto, Josef Traxel, tenor, Walter Berry, bass; Angel) is a majestic work.

With the same finicky techniques that archaeologists use on land, the water-borne scientists photographed the ancient vessel from above by swimming over it with underwater cameras-a preliminary process already reported in the National Geographic. They marked the crust of lime that covered the remains and carefully chiseled it into chunks that were lifted 3 to the surface by inflated plastic balloons. Bit by bit the wreck was moved ashore and reassembled...
