...memories of first year are empty of classical music jam sessions and parties as cool as the one thrown last week. Mostly I remember being unable to get past the crowds on the stairs due to Saturday night parties, comparing wretched foreign language experiences with friends, meeting debutantes for the first time, suffering through Dave Aronberg's incessant campaigning for U.C. rep and surviving a rooming group from hell...
...seemed, at the time, exhaustive. This one has rather more than 400 works, and its catalog tips the kitchen scales at 5 lbs. 7 oz., outweighing even MOMA's Picasso catalog by 11 oz. It isn't a show to approach casually, even if the coming box-office jam allowed it. But Elderfield's panorama of Matisse's achievement is so exhilarating, so full of rapturous encounters with one of the grandest pictorial sensibilities ever to pick up a brush, so steady in its narrative line and -- not incidentally -- so sensitively hung, that even if you go in with...

You may miss the sulfurous sensuality Tonya Pinkins radiates in Jelly's Last Jam, but you'll get the achy-breaky pain in her reading of Play the Music for Me. On the Secret Garden album, Daisy Eagan, the show's child star, is forever 11, frozen in innocence. Faith Prince's comic chirps and sniffles come across magnificently on Guys and Dolls, as does the schlemiel...
