...preliminary, Schoenberg's late work, A Survivor from Warsaw (1946) for male chorus, narrator and orchestra was performed. In this work Schoenberg strikes a medium between lyric singing and his own device of sprechstimme, by setting his expressionist text to notes of various vertical distances above and below a reference line. The work, described as "savage" in the program notes but bordering on melodrama, describes Schoenberg's raging desperateness as the Jews flee Nazist Warsaw, and his resumption of the Jewish faith in the face of this tragic modern Diaspora. This profound personal utterance seems to suffer from the same...
...took a three-year court battle to force the decision to confer the title. That struggle really began, however, in 1912, when Sir Ewan was born, registered a female and baptized Elizabeth. As he grew up, Elizabeth became more and more convinced that he was, in fact, male. "It was hell," he recalled in a 1952 interview, "especially when I was forced to attend the debutante balls during my first London season."

Producer Kanter promises more of this hard-hitting social commentary in forthcoming shows. "In one program," says Kanter, "there's a Negro male who's a failure and blames it all on his being colored. We straighten him out. In another, Corey is called 'nigger,' and the conflict is whether he should beat up the other...
Whether they recognize themselves as archetypes or not, anyone who comes near Segal is apt to find himself wrapped in plaster. The despondent male of Motel is, beneath the plaster, his fellow artist and friend Lucas Samaras. The withdrawn girl holding a kitten is his daughter Rena. He even uses himself as a model. For a man with his technique, this is hard to do-but he achieves it by putting his wife to work under his detailed direction...
