...Haacke's previous works, like 1994's "Ernst Junger," make it hard to fully absolve the artist from Giuliani's accusations. In that installation, done also in Fraktur, the artist directly associates the typeface with Hitler. Given that this motif was also used in 1988's "Und Ihr habt doch gesiegt" (And You Were Victorious after All), it might be more accurate to accuse Haacke of being overly self-derivative than of trivializing the Holocaust...
Conductor and soloist were once again equal partners in Webern's version of "Ihr Bild." The orchestra played movingly and, for the great climax, Baer puffed out his cheeks, stuck out his neck and sounded totally despondent as he attacked the last two lines: translated from the German, "And ah, I cannot believe/That I have lost...

Hester was stronger in "Ihr Menschen" than in "Ich bin ein guter Hirt," in which there were moments when he was almost covered by the orchestra. Penelope Ann Colwell and Cynthia Weinrich, who sang the soprano-alto duet in "Ihr Menschen," were also quite good, although Miss Weinrich, who sang the alto recitative immediately preceding...
