Michael Kahn, eschewing a tragicomic view of the play, has pushed his production along the gamut to pure comedy and at times beyond this in the direction of farce. The advantage accruing from this is that audiences will readily accept, under the guise of comedy, the kind of silly plot that they would not swallow in a serious work. But there is a disadvantage too: a comic interpretation tends to prevent the audience from realizing that grave issues are being extensively dealt with in this play. Kahn made his choice, and has proven its viability beyond a doubt...

Alan Mandel: Forty Works for the Piano by Louis Moreau Gottschalk (4 disks; $23.25; Desto). Though not a complete collection of Gottschalk's piano works, this sizable sampling runs the gamut from the macabre to the silly, from the awesome to the danceable. 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.
