...both tonight's and tomorrow's concerts, is perhaps the most exciting the Beaux Arts Trio has ever presented at Harvard. It begins with the Haydn Trio No. 27 and the Brahms Piano Quartet No. 1, with guest violist Samuel Rhodes. The group will then be joined by bassist Georg Hortnagel for a performance of the famous Schubert "Trout" quintet, an all-time favorite among chamber music lovers. Hortnagel is flying in from Munich just for this special occasion...
Keyboard Player Brian O'Neal, 24, and his bassist brother Kevin, 19, who wrote Minimum Wage's eleven songs and swap most of the lead vocals, share a gift for flipping stereotypes into comic contortions.

Coffee is thrust into their hands; radio stations phone incessantly, demanding over-the-phone interviews...
...French locals in Cannes. French New Wave group Telephone, in stark contrast to the espoused ideals of the band in Breaking Glass, relishes its role as supergroup, spreading itself thinly across the Cinemascope screen. The members give opinions on any and every subject, frequently flaunting their new wealth. Female bassist Corine Marienneau even lets her mother be interviewed. The "what is your favorite toothpaste?" dialogue is interspersed with the roguish posing and extended amplification of this lightweight heavy metal band in New Wave drag...
