...guaranteed full artistic freedom. One invitation he accepted was to play with the student orchestra at Brown, in honor of the inauguration of the university's new president, Howard Swearer. So well subscribed was the event that Rostropovich found himself playing the Saint-Saëns Concerto No. 1 in A minor in the hockey rink. He also gave some free advice to Brown student cellists ("Technique must come before interpretation"), donned a Brown sweatshirt and won over the campus with his exuberance. One overwhelmed Brown vice president rubbed his cheek bemusedly and said, "I've never been...
...similar multi-media reading of Dame Edith Sitwell's 1923 sound poem, Facade, is now at the Loeb. While I did not feel impelled to scream along with the show at the end--this being more like, say, a Mozart concerto than a Beethoven symphony--the Loeb production is admirably creative, refreshing and unhackneyed, and certainly deserved the spontaneous exclamation of approval of a member of the audience it did receive at the end of the first act the other night...

Bach's Fifth Brandenburg is far and away the best known, and most likely the best loved of the Brandenburgs. Dwyer joins soloist/forces in the "triple" concerto with Luise Vosgerchian, music department chairman/pianist and James Yannatos, HRO conductor/violinist. The two latter performers will perform in their latter capacity. Those expecting to hear the keyboard part played on a harpsichord should be warned that Vosgerchian has chosen to play instead on a piano, possibly compromising the sparkle of the fabulous cadenza cascades for a sound that is more suitable to Sanders...
