...adventurous bit of off-beat casting, the title role is in the hands of the great flamenco dancer Jose Greco, who has never interpreted a speaking character on stage before. Not surprisingly, he moves on stage exceedingly well; also not surprisingly, he is vocally deficient. His diction often lacks conviction, and the combination of Latin and Transylvanian accents and some scanted syllables does not help intelligibility. He brings to the role neither the hypnotic power of Lugosi nor the sensuous elegance of Langella...
...collection of styles that a major rock guitarist has assembled in a while. The fuzzed-out vibrato of his riffs on "Let the Children Play" provides a sharp contrast with the intricate acoustic guitar performance that highlights "Verao Vermelho," a song that somehow seems incomplete without a castanet-clapping flamenco dancer and a few serenading gitanos strumming away in the background. "Revelations" unveils still another Carlos Santana, a Carlos who has lent an attentive ear to the mournful strains of the great blues guitarists like B.B. King and Muddy Waters.

Though it is a bit late for the Bicentennial, patriotic spirits ran high. The score, originally a Charles Ives organ fantasia, was orchestrated by William Schuman.

When the fantasies are flowing, she begins to type at stuttering speed, scarcely stopping until eight in the morning...
...crude, provincial but raucously vital cubist portrait of her husband Mikhail Larionov (1913), the face kippered flat and streaked with voracious slashes of color; it luxuriates in the shimmer of rosy light, circle on circle, that fills the surface of Delaunay's masterpiece of 1916, The Flamenco Singer. Moreover, if the exhibition does seem to end on a dying fall, it hardly matters. What counts is that an area of great consequence for art history has now been opened up. "Women Artists: 1550-1950" is one of the most significant theme shows to come along in years. Robert Hughes
