...addition to conducting his own Concerto and Les Noces, Kirchner performed with Luise Vosgerchian two Schubert compositions as entr'actes. Performed completely satisfactorily, these two works for four hands at the piano did serve usefully as comic relief. More familiar and predictable they could not have been...
Joel Martin, as Captain Mark Ingestrie, the hero, surpasses his fine job in The Gondoliers this fall, and contributes the prologue and two songs at the first entr-acte. Martin's hamming made every scene he played a delight; unfortunately, these scenes were few, and oh, so far between. Sheila K.
