...dole while they waited for Kim's career to take off. Kenny Rogers, who like Kim and Dave is a Christy Minstrels alum, gave a boost last year when he recorded one of their tunes, Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer, as a duet with Kim. That chart pacer paved the way. Carnes had a successful follow-up single on her own, but Bette Davis Eyes could become the kind of standard that turns a comer into an institution...
...weekend, with three more premieres to come, Robbins had very strong entries. For opening night he created a gossamer duet for Darci Kistler and Ib Andersen to the second movement of the Piano Concerto No. 1. The dancers seem to be skating-two very young lovers etching their joy on a pond by moonlight. This is a charming little lyric that never takes itself, or figure skating, seriously.

But between rehearsals at Carnegie Hall for their separate performances on Gala of Stars, a public-television special airing this month, the two finally attempted a duet-a four-handed Flight of the Bumblebee on Rampal's 14-karat flute. "He's not too bad," said Rampal of his pal, though the performance was "not for musical purposes." Said Perlman, who just won four Grammy Awards: "We could have done better if I had been thinner. Then...
