...played by a small body of musicians (such an orchestra as Bach had in mind), with scrupulous regard for the composer's intentions (as deduced from a study of Bach manuscripts), without a conductor (as it would have been played in Bach's day). After Adolf Busch had put his Chamber Music Players through their paces last week in Manhattan's Town Hall-in their first U.S. concert-listeners were agreed that rarely had Bach's music sounded so fluid, spontaneous, downright enjoyable...
...Staraya Russa, 300 miles northwest of Moscow, where Colonel General Ernst Busch is penned up with a German Army, the Russians saw their best hope of destroying the enemy.

Other revivals: Tchaikovsky's Pique Dame, whose lush melodies and story of a gambler's fate have pleased European but not U.S. audiences, and La Vie Parisienne -Offenbach's satire on the gaslit vulgarities of France's Second Empire...
