...mouth of a mask painted on the curtain hiding her from view. Public and critics alike pronounced the evening an outrage. But the musical "entertainment" has been revived again and again, currently in this recording by Actress Hermione Gingold and Countertenor Russell Oberlin, with Thomas Dunn conducting the small chamber ensemble. Unfortunately for them, Dame Edith herself, with Peter Pears, has performed the work for London Records.

The story last week did stir up an at least plausible atmosphere of cameral politics. Slattery turned the chamber into a courtroom, fingering an older senator who had deliberately quashed a bill that jeopardized his personal financial interests. The program is fearless. It was sponsored in part by Chase & Sanborn, and the crooked old senator's name was Mr. Sanborn...
