...doubting composer who shunned large undertakings, and is best known for his minor songs. The symphony form, he complained, caused him endless anxiety: "It is lively but not very much so, being somber and weighty too." His B Flat Major displays none of these characteristics. It is instead a pleasant, supple work, replete with gracefully phrased suggestions and intuitions, rather like prettified Wagner. Ernst Ansermet leads the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in an appropriately understated performance. Chausson was one of Cesar Franck's many dedicated disciples, and Les Bolides, a brief symphonic poem, shows that Franck is easily...
...evening might have been a tolerable concert, but the songs weren't much better than the dialogue. They change from folk to rock as the hero gets corrupted (yes, Marshall, the media is the message). Leading man Roger Brown had a pleasant voice, and would have been a marvelous leader for a summer camp sing-a-long. The rock music, and the rock group, The Brown Paper Bag were monotonous, and imitative (more plagiaristically than facetiously) of groups like the Jefferson Airplane...
...sportswriter as a man who "played with a cool nonchalance, chomping blades of grass, making shots with a cigarette dangling from his lips." In 1963, when he won the Open for the second time by beating Arnold Palmer in a playoff, he was said to be "placid and pleasant." Last week Boros was still cool, nonchalant, placid and pleasant-and still winning. This time, the prize was his third major title, the Professional Golfers Association championship. Boros still chomped on grass, still smoked. In fact, the only changes worth noting were that Ben Hogan was not in the field...
...motley mismatch. An attached garage is nothing but a skeleton of stone pillars, and the garden is dominated by a magnificent stand of ragweed. The house shows not its facade but its robust posterior to Heathcote Road, one of the best addresses in New York's pleasant suburban town of Scarsdale...
That, in effect, was the goal set for the company in 1940 by its founder, Architect Richard Pleasant. Since then, however, Ballet Theater has all too frequently strayed off on a series of unrewarding paths. After Pleasant entered the U.S. Army during World War II, the company came under the direction of Impresario Sol Hurok, who attempted to re-create it as a new "Ballet Russe," with an endless parade of show boating guest stars. In the mid-'50s, Ballet Theater embarked on a dreary succession of new dances, most of which were forgotten when the curtain came down...
