...different ways evoking the New World. Italy's Dino Campana sees classical images that compare the noble Indian savage to Venus, Federico Garcia Lorca's Brooklyn Bridge Nocturne throbs with Spanish symbolism, while France's Jules Laforgue dreams in Gallic-materialist specifics ("Des venaisons, et du whisky. . . et la loi de Lynch") and Walt Whitman shambles forth in his pagan-hobo way, singing The Song of the Open Road. Trying to follow each poet's vision, the music seemed to have little vision of its own, but it was skillfully scored. It evoked a lusty...

All told, calypso records account for roughly a quarter of current pop sales...

The trouble lay primarily in three things--the terrible out-of-tuneness of the strings, the lifelessness of the playing, and the lack of intensity and precision in Attilio Poto's conducting. Each contributed to the others...
