...Trovatore, the rest of the wolves join in, as in the choral sections of 'Di quella pira.' " He found that the best wolf virtuosos "start pianissimo, swell to a messa di voce to the sixth above, hold it sweetly and purely, then perhaps embellish to the upper partial before going down to a pianissimo and trailing off on an inconclusive microtonality near the tonic." Although some wolves have a range of more than an octave, Schonberg noted that "they try to trill, poor things, but do not really have the technique...

In partial compensation there are a couple of very funny performances by Vincent Schiavelli, playing a freak who tutors the S.P.F.C. in the art of blowing grass, and Buck Henry, whose acting shows shrewd restraint and a gratifying lack of the grandstand mugging that marred his appearance in Catch...
