...contemplative nature. Only in the Fifth Concerto does Ashkenazy's rectitude inhibit him from the kind of large-scale reading the Emperor can support, yet his nimble style is fully in keeping with his restrained approach to the cycle as a whole. Mehta and the silken Vienna Philharmonic prove ideal partners in the venture...

Instead, both testified to an almost grotesque relationship in which the son had been manipulated into a state of worshipful dependency on a father who despised and defied conventional society.

In pursuit of this high ideal, he has tirelessly engaged in debates and given speeches defending the Reagan Administration's determination "to root out and do away with discrimination." On one occasion, the normally aloof and patrician Reynolds even clasped the hand of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and joined him in a chorus of We Shall Overcome. On another, he went so far as to compare...
