...David Laurent, baritone, sang with a dark, rich tone well suited to this unprtentious work, but Phyllis Curtin, soprano, marred an otherwise good performance with slides where unadorned, precise pitch is vital...
...militant chordal writing for the chorus contrasted with the complex polyphony of the soloists without jarring the work's virtually symphonic thematic unity. Phyllis Curtin, Mary MacKenzie, John Alexander and David Laurent made this continuity posible by weaving a texture that was never ragged and by providing excellent solos...
...work of Christian Dior's little-known, untested Marc Bohan, 34. The Parisian-born son of a modiste, Bohan broke into haute couture in 1945 as an assistant designer at Patou, left Patou in 1958 to work under Dior's Boy Wonder Chief Designer Yves St. Laurent.

On Sept. 1 he will report for his physical examination, presumably soon thereafter be dreaming of furloughs instead of furbelows...
