...their countryman, who will celebrate his 90th birthday on December 29. In honor of the anniversary, this year's festival has one of the most stellar lineups in its history. Violinists Alexander Schneider and David Oistrakh returned after several years' absence; Pianists Rudolf Serkin, Wilhelm Kempff and Julius Katchen took leave from crowded schedules to perform. It was a sentimental journey tinged with apprehension. "When a musician is almost 90," explained Katchen, "one may legitimately worry about how he is going to play...
...easy familiarity.

It is all too easy for Julius Caesar, in performance, to turn into one long shouting match. The present production is not sufficiently free of this tendency. Fortissimo speech is not this troupe's strongpoint; and some of its playing goes so far out of control as to be totally unintelligible. Its actors need to learn that forcefulness is not necessarily directly proportional to loudness...
