KIRSTEN FLAGSTAD. LAURITZ MELCHIOR. (RCA Victor Vocal Series). These companion albums feature two legendary singers with the temperaments and voices to sing Wagner as he might have imagined it in his inner ear. The love duet from Tristan und Isolde (from the Melchior recording) is pure rapture...

Paul said Silverado had brought "enormous management, consulting, accounting and legal resources to bear to rebut regulators' concerns."

Childress does bring a little something new to the party, though. He has a good ear and a sympathetic eye for poor white life, Southern variety, and a sense of humor about Leroy's raffish relatives. The Kirbys are sort of Saturday-evening Snopeses, and if Tender can't penetrate the magic of its inspiration, it does a fair job of getting at the roots...
