...Franck would put any other pianist in awe of her abilities. The light treble notes that introduced Debussy’s “Sonata for Cello and Piano (1915)” and the articulated, precisely abrupt rests of Anton Webern’s “Drei Kleine Stücke, Op. 11 (1914)” showed she was at home in front of the grand Steinway...
...past, the more disastrous the results. On "Tooralooralooraloo--Is it Old &Is it New," they aim for a tavern European folk ballad, and end up sounding like Perry Como. In fact, this song is so pathetically and limply delivered that it can't even be savored as good camp. "Drei Mann in doppelbett," on the other hand, links a pub chant with a synthopop rhythm with slightly more successful results. Nevertheless, neither the hook nor the rhythm of this song is good enough to warrant its redundancy...
Trio's imitations are also very spare and redundant lyrically. The lyrics are not just simple; they are also unimaginative. The imitations might have worked a little better if the lyrics had been original or inventive; instead the lines are contrived at best (e.g., "Drei Mann in doppelbett") and downright cliches at worst ("And then you call/and I feel like I am floating/I feel my batteries reloading.") Basically, this group has so little to say that all of their songs turn into uninteresting love songs...
...major disturbance. To be sure, there are some signs of disquiet. Some 1,135 East Germans last year managed to flee over the wall to the West. At one point during last week's celebrations, 200 restless young East Berliners paraded down Unter den Linden chanting: "Eins, zwei, drei, Sex!" But they knew better than to shout anything more defiant-such as demands for political reforms. Culturally, Ulbricht maintains such a tight rein that most of Evgeny Evtushenko's poetry is proscribed, and even some recent Soviet films have been banned as "unsafe." Determinedly apolitical, most of East...
...cupboard of tarts, the girls pay only for room, board and services, just as they would in a normal hotel. Moreover, their hostel is a place of immaculate order; noisy guests are ordered to leave, and drunks are not allowed in. In Stuttgart's eight-year-old Drei-Farben hostel, business is transacted only from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.-except on Sundays and holidays, when its 71 practitioners knit and watch television...
