...MOST conservative piece of the evening was Leonard Lehrman's String Trio, written with frank lyricism, at times slightly oleoginous, culminating in a strong last page of almost botanical beauty.

Like, say, the Rolls-Royce they are riding in. "Here, take the wheel," she announces grandly. "I don't care. I love you." Maybe so. But by a strange coincidence the affair ends up on the rocks when the car ends up in a ditch...
