...Olmedo. He then won 16 of his next 24 matches, earned the right to meet Pancho Gonzales in a 29-match, head-to-head contest for the professional championship of the world. On court, Gimeno bears a startling resemblance to the young Bill Tilden. His ground strokes are long, faultless and patient. His big serve darts and leaps. His apparent lethargy masks lightning-quick reflexes. Says Australia's Frank Sedgman: "If was obvious from the start that this kid was good. As an amateur, he simply didn't get enough opportunity to show what he had. There wasn...
...pace throughout (certain of his tempi, particularly in the first movement, approached those of the demonic Fritz Reiner). If the symphony as a whole seemed to lack a unity of dramatic conception--only the final allegro was convincingly cohesive--individual sections of it were performed with real distinction. The faultless intonation of the orchestra's winds (the first desk flute and clarinet merit special attention), the resounding firmness of the brasses--all these are easily the equal of almost any professional orchestra.

To a casual record store browser it might signify the most exciting new popular singing talent to come along in years. But the voice is not new. It belongs to a great lieder singer, a standout oratorio performer (Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, Handel's Messiah), and a star of such operas as La Gioconda and Medea. The singer: Eileen Farrell. probably the finest dramatic soprano in the U.S., who will make her Met debut next season in Gluck's Alceste...
...fingernails till they are crisscrossed with red gashes and running with tears and blood. In the mesmeric half-trance of the dirge, the singer has been known to drift far out and lament high taxes, the price of salt, the need for roads, and the Bulgarian frontier-all in faultless couplets. Sans couplets, but with 20/20 sight and insight, Author Fermor has fashioned a durable portrait of the enduring people who inhabit the mythical rock garden of the gods...
