Verdi: Aïda (Leontyne Price, Rita Gorr, Jon Vickers, Robert Merrill, Giorgio Tozzi; Rome Opera House Orchestra and Chorus, Georg Solti conducting; RCA Victor, three LPs). Soprano Price's tigerish passion and luminous voice discover a moving Aïda-and cleave through the massed choral and orchestral sound unfalteringly...
...children, who meet in a home for disturbed adolescents, are almost inaccessible to therapy. But their doctor (Howard da Silva) works with steady devotion, and one day a miracle happens. Lisa comes sidling up to David and says shyly: "Me, the same; Lisa, the name." Startled but pleased, David replies: "Me, the same; David, the name."

By an unintended irony the play emphasizes the financial index of success. Presisely because Howard Da Silva (Woody's father) is the most vivid human being on stage, and because the success of The Business is vital to him, the audience finds itself rooting very hard for the commercial vindication of Miss Julie Lingerie...
