...LIED VON DER ERDE (Deutsche Grammophon) is Gustav Mahler's masterpiece. The song cycle is a rippling reflection of elegiac Chinese moods that now and then surges up to a torrential "Yes!" This version, with Mezzo Soprano Nan Merriman, Tenor Ernst Hafliger and Conductor Eugen Jochum leading the Concertgebouw Orchestra, even surpasses the excellent recording made by Merriman and Hafliger with the Concertgebouw sev en years...

Each has his own gimmick, and is cattily critical of his competitors. For the New York Times's Nan Robertson, one promoter ticked off one colleague's: "He plays the Russian bit. He always has somebody doing the squat dance or auctioning off a painting by a 90-year-old grand duchess." Struck by sudden inspiration, one promoter saved a recent ball (for Society Girl Gregg Dodge...
