...that Leland attributes to me many of the artistic decisions of the play--the choice of Michael McNeal as Clay, my additions to the Conductor's part, etc., and yet, she doesn't credit me with the casting of Cohen as Lula. I wanted a younger Lula, and the decision to make the character more hysterical from the outset was mine as well. I have studied this play for four years now, and I firmly believe that Dutchman is anything but a subtle play, and Lula is anything but a realistic, "normal" character. She is most certainly not "bitter...
...Tombar, as the conductor, is definitely the best part of this production. His booming voice creates a hypnotic effect that starts and ends the play. The speech, taken from Baraka's poetry, is an excellent choice by Guerrero and adds further meaning to the already complex play...
...strong cast, headed by baritone Eugene Perry as Malcolm, brings X sharply to life, and conductor William Henry Curry leads the Orchestra of St. Luke's and Davis' own avant-garde jazz ensemble, Episteme, with verve. With the greater pictorial resources available to the cinema, no doubt Lee's film will have a stronger initial impact.

He denied Allen's charge that Farrow, who took no alimony in her divorces from Frank Sinatra and composer-conductor Andre Previn, was demanding $7 million as a payoff to retract the child-abuse accusation.

Protection, not money, has been her main concern...
...Conductor, composer, TV stalwart, Leonard Bernstein was a prodigy whose musical accomplishments were blurred by his seismic personality. He died in 1990 at 72, but his reputation, instead of receding as the fame of so many artists does after death, is going strong. The latest tribute is Sony's massive LEONARD BERNSTEIN ROYAL EDITION, a repackaging of his Columbia recordings from the 1950s to the 1970s. It consists of some 119 CDs, to be released over the next 2 1/2 years. The first 10 concentrate on Beethoven and Bartok, and the remastered sound is excellent. But that...
