...River Kwai, rendered in apocalyptic sound. Viennese-born Composer Ernest Gold, a veteran of two decades of film scoring (On the Beach and The Defiant Ones), knows better than most of his colleagues how to write a mystery in a web of strings and nostalgia in a flute's falling sigh. The film's haunting theme hints of a talent for better things...
...Cage to the new classic twelve-tone row introduced by the late Arnold Sohoenberg. Last night's concert of New Music was the work of five young European composers whose music, not unexpectedly, conforms to neither of the two extremes. The pieces presented were variously scored for voice, piano, flute, harp, stereo tape and a truly staggering assortment of percussion instruments which included both Chinese blocks and Victorian stained glass.

While in the Belgian army, he entered the contest for nonprofessional conductors at Besangon, France, and finished next to last. After that he settled down to study conducting...
