BOSTON SYMPHONY CHAMBER PLAYERS (RCA Victor, 4 LPs). The nine players present a well-balanced, impeccably performed concert of Mozart, Brahms, Schubert, Poulenc, Villa-Lobos, Alexei Haieff, and the young American, Michael Colgrass. Having done so, they then upstage themselves by turning the fourth disk of the album over to a delightful discussion of chamber music by Peter Ustinov. "A Walter Mitty as far as music is concerned," Ustinov gives his imitations of a flute ("With my long, pendulous upper lip, I do better without the flute") and bassoon ("a very romantic instrument"). His musical god is Mozart. Noting that...
Driving down to Rhode Island to hear the Who in concert, we mused about an accurate way of rating rock groups in terms of the distance one would travel to see them in action. Thus, Dylan is worth a trip to anywhere on the East Coast, the Stones are good for 300 miles, Jeff Beck 220 (i.e. to New York), and Loving Spoonful about as far as 40 cent subway ride will take one.

From then on, it seems, neither of them gets any work done, but they have a lot of fun twirling about in the vortex of a Technicolor London-little restaurants, antique shops, bed, concert halls...
...loss. He did not cite Humphrey's brilliant "folksiness" on the debates. Instead he quoted from a scholarly work by a Harvard professor which documented in 700 pages America's unkind feelings towards musicians (long-haired, sexual deviates...) and announced that he was entering a career as a concert pianist...
