...Theo Sommer, 39, an intellectual and deputy editor of the highly regarded liberal weekly Die Zeit; to some military men, it was like turning John Kenneth Galbraith loose in the Pentagon. But the Bundeswehr has been pleasantly surprised, for Schmidt has brought to his job the same imagination and flair that Brandt has brought to the chancellorship. Most important, he actually seems to care about the orphans in his charge...
...Gertrude Ederle would be astounded. Hardly a high-fashion designer has not had his way with it; as a result, the style abounds in a flurry of top-label interpretations, all faithful to the pure lines and practicality of the original, but a far cry away in fit and flair.

Gottschalk's music is a curious and attractive blend of styles-Creole rhythms, American folk tunes, European romanticism-all transformed into brilliant display pieces for a flashy pianist. Mandel plays it all with sufficient flair-and some serious technical shortcomings. But until a better-equipped pianist decides to improve on this set, Mandel gives a sound idea of what this strange and wonderful music is all about...
