...thunderstorms raged outside Rome's Palazzo dello Sport, Party Secretary Enrico Berlinguer, 52, explained the significance of the compromise in a 3½-hour keynote addressed to the 1,124 Italian delegates at the congress. It was Berlinguer who two years ago first proposed the idea that Italy's second largest party should become a partner in the government, after 30 years of opposition. Berlinguer argued that Communist participation in a government with other parties was essential "for the future of Italian democracy."

The only marginally interesting section of the Britten piece, which uses a problemmatical Auden text, was a Queen Mab Scherzo passage affording relief from the "flickering flames" of "Blonde Aphrodite." The unidentified soprano soloist thrilled us with another seismic performance whose beauty might be compared to an autumnal wheat field methodically bending to the breeze. Mr. Dello Joio, whose star has been rising ever since his epochal Air Power brought home the Caligulan glory of the air force to the musically...
