...recently toured, 37 outfits generously named her their No. 1 pinup girl. She is currently negotiating a contract with the Pontiac people, who think that her trim chassis is just the right image for their new line of low-slung chariots. Even Daddy is getting into the act: his duet with Nancy on a single called Somethin' Stupid was No. 1 on the bestseller charts last week...
...treacherous syncopation of Bernstein's score, which sometimes leaves stragglers among the singers. The six-piece orchestra under John Forster keeps up with the score amazingly well, although it cries for a little fleshing out. Predictably the most effective numbers are the slowest and the smallest--a duet in a taxi cab and an enchanting quartet in a subway car. The most ragged number is the heavily-syncopated "New York, New York," which could stand some rehearsing to metronomes...

Soon, from loudspeakers came a cadenza recorded earlier by Rostropovich, who then played a whining, arhythmic duet with himself. During one dramatic silence, a massive pffhonk! bounced through the hall; it sounded like somebody blowing his nose. That's just what it was, and a good note it was, too-D-flat, in fact...

Part of the function of these solos is to break up the homogeneity of the choral sound, and though the chorus sang lightly and clearly enough to prevent their sounding rough or gross, the listener missed the delicate sound of individual voices singing ornate lines clearly intended for solo performance...
...without apparent effort over long lines almost continuously in his highest register. Hester was stronger in "Ihr Menschen" than in "Ich bin ein guter Hirt," in which there were moments when he was almost covered by the orchestra. Penelope Ann Colwell and Cynthia Weinrich, who sang the soprano-alto duet in "Ihr Menschen," were also quite good, although Miss Weinrich, who sang the alto recitative immediately preceding the duet, lacked some of the clarity and lightness of the other soloists, and had some slight pitch difficulties...
