...Well-knit Work. The rippling second movement gave no clear idea of tonal home base, but it developed a comic effect as it progressed through subtly different rhythms. The third movement, again in pensive tempo, gave the soloist another long melody that breathed nostalgically of twilight among ruins, then let it sigh into a noontime atmosphere with a passage in octaves, then into a recitative of murmurous beauty, where Oistrakh's instrument spoke in unevenly repeated notes.

...Twins still work closely with Réaltiés' tightly knit staff of 47, whose pay (average salary: $430 a month) is double the prevailing French journalistic wage. The publishers hold a daily 6 p.m. editorial conference with Editor Max, seldom emerge from their cluttered third-floor office before 9 p.m. Last week the lights were burning later than usual in the massive sandstone building near the Oépra, where Réaltiés and its sister magazines are published. Max and staff were mapping their most challenging assignment yet: a wide-ranging report on life...
