...Marlovian pitch and battered away at their lines with enough controlled volume and barbarity to enliven every moment they were on stage. They were the only members of the company with enough vocal power to really make use of what Marlowe gave them, and I will not soon forget the sovereign articulacy this pair displayed in the infamous "braining scene...
Genial company, these assiduous scribblers, but also cloying. For these three novelists are remembered with increasing frequency not for the devastating brilliance of the center of their social vision, but for the treacly smearings around the edges. (Who, for instance can remember Mr. Casaubon, but who can ever forget Dorothea or Will Ladislaw?)

...suffer both from muddy sound and lethargic spirit. On its third tour, it has seemed like a new orchestra. The sound is still heavier than that of U.S. orchestras but the heaviness no longer gets in the way of the music making. The Philharmonic contributed some performances nobody could forget-a shimmering Ravel Daphnis and Chloe, a surgingly powerful Bruckner Seventh Symphony, a glowing Beethoven Third, all of them conveyed with darkly colored intensity...
