...Albeniz to Zandonai whose works are heard in New York every season in dozens of little halls and auditoriums far from Carnegie Hall and the Met. There out-of-the-way music groups, both amateur and professional, are giving Manhattan the kind of musical excitement that the booming off-Broadway theater has brought to its stage.
