...Soviet Union, the most significant is ALFRED SCHNITTKE. Long a word-of-mouth favorite of emigre artists like violinist Gidon Kremer, Schnittke, 58, has a firm grasp of structure, a masterly hand with orchestration and, most important, a distinctive, expressive voice. A new London/Decca recording of Schnittke's Concerti Grossi Nos. 3 and 4 displays his gifts in full flower. The Third (1985) harks back to Bach in a tour de force of stylistic synthesis, while the 1988 Fourth (which, confusingly, the composer also calls his Symphony No. 5) takes an unfinished work by Mahler as its launching pad.

...this contest his straightforward warmth practically saves the show. There are fleeting good moments from Stewart Chrition and Barbara Bejoian in "The Seduction" episode; Chrition, especially, with his macho-male-deodorant-commercial voice, would have been very impressive had the pace of the scene been less lethargic. Marina Grossi is exuberant and lovely in a piece about a young girl auditioning for Chekhov, until her sluggish reading of "The Three Sisters" conveys absolutely no comprehension of the play...

An Arizona couple, Dick and Trenna Sutphen, who say they first met and married thousands of years ago, not only operate group seminars but also market tape recordings enabling patients to treat themselves at home. Typically...

Why does he need a car for a quality education? And the situation couldn't get much worse anyway...
...company Philips provided its usual superior pressings, then shipped them back to be marketed as Golden Imports. Worth the premium price? Indeed these performances are, especially since they sound better than the originals. Not even Munch equaled Paray's way with Chausson's joyous heartbreaker. The concerti grossi are among the finest works of the now shamefully neglected Bloch, and Hanson reads them with snap and vigor...
