...great grey church, 3,500 invited guests welcomed him with a roof-raising hosanna of cheers and applause, a response never heard before in the cathedral's staid confines. Moist-eyed at the greeting, Paul prayed briefly before the high altar; a chorus intoned the traditional Tu Es Petrus (Thou Art Peter). In response to Francis Cardinal Spellman's welcome, Paul reiterated the purpose of his mission and asked "for your prayerful support of our message of peace."

MAUREEN FORRESTER SINGS ARIAS OF BACH AND HANDEL (Vanguard). So splendid and secure is Maureen Forrester in this performance that Kirsten Flagstad is the closest and best comparison. In the sorrowing arias, such as "Es ist vollbracht" near the end of Bach's St. John Passion and "He was despised" from Handel's Messiah, she conveys grief and compassion with darkly shaded tones and a seemingly endless vocal line...
