...music. His little Suite of Trumpet Voluntaries belies an unflattering reputation as a feeble Purcell. Only in this set of pieces did Tarr display the kind of virtuoso talent for which he is generally known. The sense of ensemble--excellent throughout the evening--was pertect here in the brilliant parallel thirds where the organ registration sounded like a second trumpet. Equally successful was the encore, a Telemann Air de Trompette, performed with a tremendous sense of style galant grace.

The domed skull had its remaining hair brushed flat, each strand meticulously parallel to its neighbor; the two neat creases on the pale forehead; the paired circles of his spectacle frames, and the thin mouth joined with utmost precision to his beak of a nose by two engraved lines. It was the face of no compromise-austere and possessed by a forbidding moral rectitude. No artist ever looked more like his own work...
