...minor-but that was something of an appetizer, and if it, was played a bit monotonously, with very little range of volume, nobody remembered by the end of the concert. This was because, in the meantime, Bernstein, the Boston Symphony, the Harvard Glee Club and Radcliffe Choral Society, a soprano, and an alto had joined in a performance of Mahler's Second Symphony, a work which engages its performers in varying combinations for seventy five minutes.

The orchestral passages are exceptional even for Mozart, and the choral writing is superior to that in his more famous operas. As presented in Mr. Goldovsky's adaptation, the first act was highly conventionalized and contained too much plot exposition in the form of recitative--arias were scarce, in fact. The second act starts, however, with a superb aria...
