...skinflint life to retrieve her one uncharacteristic act of giving herself to him. The baron is a madcap giant of a hussar, a Homeric drinker and eater, an impenitent gambler, an indefatigable skirt chaser. Ippolita, to whom purse strings are the only heart strings, chokes as her beans-and-mush menus give way to roast pigs, shank sausage and plump capons. She likes to dress like a ragpicker; the baron makes her buy the latest imported fineries. Ippolita doles out fourth-rate wine to the servants in "a quantity congruous for Christians of base extraction." The baron invites them...

Her superb control and truly magnificent versatility enabled her to present a most triumphant reading of this unusually demanding work...
...engineers approve of doctored stereo. Says Columbia's William S. Bachman: "You have a single signal to start with. We don't think there is any honest way to make two out of it. It's like separating mush and milk; once you get them together, you can't get them apart." RCA's Somer concedes that his technique is a compromise: too much separation results in an alteration of the original sound. Moreover, in pseudo stereo "you can spread the sound around the room, but there is no way to get the feeling...
