...stern, scholarly type who conducts with angular, storklike grace, Skrowaczewski takes an approach that is exact and exacting. Starting with a unit that was already a leader in the second rank of U.S. orchestras (behind the "big five" of Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Cleveland and Chicago), he has given it an even finer edge of technical precision. While enriching its sound, particularly in the strings, he has achieved a limpid texture that lets the inner architecture of the music shine through.

Yet in the midst of a life that is rather worse than purgatory and scarcely better than hell, his characters are touched by a vagrant grace. The Comedians, for which he wrote a script based on his novel, is Greeneland all over again, this time in Haiti. Off a ship and into the damned, doomed country walk three anonyms: Brown, Jones and Smith...
