...outright murder (worldwide, automobiles kill 200,000 persons a year). By Freudian analysis, it is the supreme expression of aggression in an increasingly depersonalized society.

Last night the Leverett House Opera Society opened its production of "Le Renard" and "The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore."

A brightly performed addition to the growing collection of Stravinsky's works conducted by the composer himself. At Stravinsky's own request, Composers Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss and Roger Sessions play the piano parts in Les Noces, and in this and the other works Stravinsky shapes performances of water clarity and rhythmic fire. Ragtime is the album's special treat...
