Photo Courtesy BCSM one of the few displays of ecstatic ensemblewithin the context of the Bartok. The thirdmovement, marked "Allegro" and abounding withvehement and syncopated rhythms, concealed for themost part Chase's difficulties; while hertechnique was not impeccable, it certainly farsurpassed her vibrato. In this section, though theperformers were always "with" each other, one didnot receive the impression of collaboration whichhad appeared briefly in the second movement andwhich graces the best chamber music performances.On the whole, Chase's rendition of the Sonata wascompetent but uninspired; she did not seem toderive any personal significance from the work orendow it with...
...with one's hand in order to play certain notes,and he desired that the entire trio maintain acorrespondingly muted timber. However, even whenmuted, the passion of Brahms' compositions cannever be suppressed. The trio which performed inSanders, Robert Rauch on horn and Mihae Lee onpiano, with, of course, Stephanie Chase on violin,managed the impossible.

With Arturo Delmoni on viola,Ronald Thomas as `cellist, Timothy Cob as bass,Thomas Hill as clarinet, Donald Bravo playingbassoon and Robert Rauch again on French horn, theintimacy of the ensemble prevented thesemiorchestral atmosphere...
...chaos and violence expertly rendered by Serrault are reiterated, throughout the film, by haunting music and startling images. Shots fire in a posh Paris arcade. A man plays a saw with a violin bow. Naked men chase women in Gestapo uniforms. Focusing relentlessly on objects of horror, the camera captures the greenish grey tone of the film and uncovers the ghoulishness of even the most serene images. After a Jew is beaten and taken from his home, the picture-perfect image of the house of the Jew and the house of his neighbor standing identical, side by side, underlines...
