Small wonder: the Wagner excerpts included on his latest CD, Ben Heppner Sings German Romantic Opera (RCA Victor...

Starr brought to the hearing room uprightness and integrity. Not too long ago, these virtues were common in our society. Today the masses regard them as a joke. JACK W. CARTER Elizabeth, Colo...
