...odds held fast through the third contestant's rendering of Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, and at evening's end the expected announcement was made: 24-year-old Pianist Malcolm Frager was the 2Oth-anniversary winner of the U.S.'s most prestigious instrumental competition, for the Leventritt Award...
Early this year Bachelor Koufax was hampered by a sore shoulder that restricted him for five weeks to little more than pitching batting practice and lifting the arm of his hi-fi set (he likes Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky).

Portraiture is Chaliapin's favored ground, but he tackles many things with equal zest, from laughing ballet dancers to glowing landscapes and stark religious works. Among his most recent canvases: a shockingly dramatic Crucifixion, as seen from the foot of the Cross, with knees twisted in pain and a face cloaked in shadow...
