...conductor, of course, is only as good as the members of his-orchestra, and to give complete credit one would have to name nearly every individual performer. It was an evening of soloists, especially in the much reduced ensembles of the Stravinsky and Milhaud. Violinist Tison Street and flutist Geoffrey Greenfield were outstanding in the Stranvinsky. The jazz-like Creation featured sensitive solos from 'cellist Philip Moss and saxophonist Hardin Matthews, as well as some sultry low-register flutter-tonguing by the two flutists. Oboists George Donner's Gershwin-like plaints creation actually predates Rhapsody in Blue and American...
...sometimes how superficially-jazz can be superimposed on a rock foundation. More significantly, several jazzmen young enough to be in the rock generation are emerging to show what can be done when the two strains are thoroughly fused. Two of the most original: - Jeremy Steig, 24, a wildly lyrical flutist and the leader of an electrified jazz-rock group called the Satyrs, which occasionally accompanies its pulsing din with such tape-recorded sounds as those of a thunderstorm or a subway train.

If someone is a flutist and a physics major or a 'cellist and concentrator in history and literature, he's really an ace. But if he concentrates in music, he is in grave danger of losing whatever musicality he might have had in the first place. The Harvard musician's aversion to the idea of intensive study...
...make their appearance in "The Alcotts," a merciless parody of all the cliches of nineteenth-century musical sentimentality. Of the four, the "Thoreau" movement is the kindest to its namesake. Its big surprise is the sudden addition of a lyrical, low-register, and entirely unseen flute. Monday night the flutist was nowhere on the program and even refused to come...
