...Rostropovich loosed the atmosphere with his antics. At one point in the concerto's slow movement, the oboe and the solo cello join in a singing contrapuntal duet. The oboist was playing too loudly for Rostropovich's taste, and so he stopped playing, turned around, and, shaking his index finger, abruptly accused and convicted the offender. "Are you the cause of this?" Rostropovich mockingly sneered. The wind players laughed, and Rostropovich grinned like a satisfied child...
...show, produced by Film Maker Jesus Salvadore Treviño, tears along at a breakneck pace to the beat of finger-snapping rock music. Regular features include a spin-off of the Laugh-In cocktail party. Kids dance frantically to music; when it stops, everybody freezes while the camera zooms in on one child, who asks: "What's eight times seven?" The music resumes, then stops, and another child shouts "Fifty-six." In "The Brownstones," another Laugh-In-like skit, children lean out of apartment-house windows singing and joking...

Berman's sheer power is almost frightening, but he can play with the most exquisite declicacy when necessary...
...skin despite inevitable smushing. When the human falls asleep, skeeter entrepreneurs erect oil wells and canning factories to the gruntlement (that's the opposite of disgruntlement) of skeeters everywhere. But the human wakes up, and the gibbering insects flee to the sanctuary of a church, where the Great Fickle Finger of the Lord juts down and promises impending doom to the prostrate bugs. But one audacious mosquito looks up, casts a few furtive glances around like Patty Hearst in a bank, and latches on to the Finger for one last free lunch...
