...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. By the end of this time, the Mozart seemed to have been played a very long time...

...combined Glee Glub and Choral Society were called upon only during the last movement of the Symphony, which is set to an ode called "Resurrection" by a man called Klopstock.

...Goldovsky and a similar cast lied presented for the first time in America at Tanglewood last summer. Like several other Mozart operas, notably "Cosi Fan Tutte," "Idomeneo" is a diamond lying neglected amidst the track of the nineteenth century. 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.
