...Sandy is Sandy in whatever she does," says Playwright Muriel Resnik (Any Wednesday), but not surprisingly, herself-possession rubs some people the wrong way.

...begins with an 1888 recording of Poet Robert Browning shouting "Hip, hip, hooray!" for Edison's new machine, and encompasses every form of music right up to the rock 'n' rollers. "Today's trivia," explains Striker, "may interest tomorrow's historian." Singers such as Resnik, Sutherland and Gianna d'Angelo visit the Institute to hear how their predecessors interpreted a role, conductors and musicologists to hear little-known works...
