...Peter Shaffer, is an eye-filling theatrical spectacular set in 16th century Peru, and it ranges from the pantomime of weary conquistadors making their nail-clawing ascent of the Andes to the incandescent white and gold robes of the Inca sun god. When it gets down to dramatic brass tacks, however, the play is full of such tacky fugues as war is hell, God is dead, and life lacks meaning...

...crowd shoehorned into Manhattan's Basin Street East last week was itching for action. "Ole!" they shouted. "Ole! Ole!" Thus encouraged, the Tijuana Brass let loose with its patented version of The Lonely Bull. It was ole all the way. Grinning and joking like a bunch of frat brothers at a stag party, Trumpeter Herb Alpert and his side-burned sidemen served up a dozen tamale-flavored numbers that had the audience rocking in their seats. It is the middle-aged man's answer to rock 'n' roll, and it is called Ameriachi...

The film's most blistering episode concerns an anguished soldier's pet dog, condemned to death for killing a chicken. Later, the King invites his cronies to a stew dinner, prods the disgusted men into gulping down their consciences along with...

...audiences last week had an opportunity to hear how successful Kondrashin has been, as the 112-member Moscow Philharmonic launched its first tour of the U.S. with a series of concerts in Manhattan's Carnegie Hall. Consensus: an uneven but promising orchestra of international rank. The Moscow brass and woodwinds were bright and full-throated, but the strings sounded thin and oddly colorless. Though sometimes lacking in subtlety and balance, the orchestra played with great exuberance and a kind of healthy sentimentality.
