...dozens of air corridor flight plans that would put Soviet transport planes at precisely the same altitudes at precisely the same times previously allocated to Western aircraft. This maneuver turned out to be sheer bluff; the Russian flights usually were canceled at the last minute, or the pilots simply chose a distant, safer course. But Moscow now tried another nuisance technique...
...musical possibilities here are fascinating. The 'Poon chose, regrettably, to use the tune of the "Great Pretender" to convey the , and it is not quite adequate, aside from not being original. The recited are appealing, but a little too high schoolish to be totally convincing. Cerf, in his appeal to God, uses librant, quivering voice which almost sounds professional, but during the section he displays his uneasiness with rock singing with a very self conscious emission of the all important word "Yeah" which is the backbone of modern rock songs.

A Viennese violin maker invented the six-stringed arpeggione in 1823 and for some reason Schubert wrote a masterpiece for it. Transcribed, the sonata is one of the mainstays of the viola repertoire. And Doktor, though he chose a questionable tempo to begin with, modulated it with good, sensitive rubatos where needed. Perhaps because he was just not warmed up, some of the technical display in the later movements came out more forced than forceful. Still the Schubert was the most impressive piece on the program...
