...album is brought down somewhat by the well-intentioned, though somewhat dumb, lyrics. Alleging, however, that the government is at once trying to "exterminate the underclass" and "exterminate the telepaths" ("Exterminator") does tend to make a mockery of the band's stated anti-fascist message.

Five years after his death, the Oscar-winning Hungarian composer is at last getting acclaim for such disciplined yet intensely passionate works as the soaring violin concerto he wrote in 1956 for Jascha Heifetz, newly and brilliantly recorded by McDuffie, Yoel Levi and the Atlanta Symphony. Forget the dumb critics' bum rap--this is great music...
