...Bartokian transitions between tempo energico and tempo rubato. This was especially noticeable in the last movement, which as a result sounded perfunctory and rather episodic. The orchestra's strings and winds usually produced an opaque sound lacking inner luster, but the brass sonorously performed those resplendent tutti passages which hint of the later Concerto for Orchestra...
...Paris this week, the morning after the U.S. elections, representatives of both the Saigon government and the Viet Cong are expected to take part-though Johnson emphasized that the Communists' participation "in no way involves" U.S. recognition of the Viet Cong's political representatives.

In Simons' view, the obviously personal meaning of the word remembrance "makes the words applicable only to the Apostles." Nor is there any hint in the Bible, Simons claims, that the Apostles' successors would inherit more than ordinary providential assistance in interpreting what the Apostles themselves witnessed...
