...just one cooing couple but three. It does not have to be so monotonous: only Luiz and Casilda (ably played by Willy Falk and Linda Cameron) need stand out as the sincere romantic leads. Faced with the prospect of renouncing principles for great wealth and wives for gorgeous Casilda, the two gondoliers (Stephen Montgomery and Howard M. Cohen) could have been a little more greedy, a little more torn, a little more befuddled in their predicament. Instead, under Lundeen's direction, they are merely predictable--in stereo...
...what if on a gorgeous afternoon here Saturday, in front of a semi-sober gathering 64,685 Yale captured its first undisputed Ivy title via a 24-7 triumph over a Harvard contingent that has taken a giant step backward in two short years...
...time in the last 100 years but not by anyone else. They are timeless without that overly decorous and rather anonymous look of the Binets. "Bords de Seine pres de Rouen" is a painting with the classic Impressionist theme--the play of air, light and water--that is a gorgeous and glowing juxtaposition of summery pinks, oranges, turquoises and golds with a twilight wintry landscape of muted purples and greys.

Written to a Shakespeare text in 1938, the serenade fortunately has become a gem of the choral repertoire, a consummately felicitous welding of poetry and music.

The chorus blended into a cool wave of sound, plumbing the music's dreamy depths without sacrificing a sparkling diction. The soloists, particularly soprano Ellen Burkhardt, were uniformly fine. The orchestra matched them in ethereal luster as a glossy violin solo, the ripple...
...soloists were a uniformly excellent band of singers-though how they fared dramatically depended on the whim of Director Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, former Wunderkind of European opera. Ponnelle attired his Electra in a red fright wig and managed the considerable feat of making Soprano Carol Neblett look less than gorgeous. Electra may be a mixed-up lady; she does not have to be a visual horror. As Idamante, Mezzo Maria Ewing sang with enough splendor to suggest that the gods had blessed her early and often. Unhappily, she had been garbed too boyishly for the youth capable of slaying...
