...climax of one of Mozart's most poignant works, but its position as an isolated movement beside the intermezzi and preludes with which the program abounded hardly does it justice. Yet only the context was at fault, not the performance; Mr. Berman set a very fast tempo, the rhythmic impulse was subtle yet vital, and the poignancy never degenerated into sentimentality.

Cities lie in Sunday silence...
Early in his two-hour speech, the delegates listened politely. But as he droned on, the pavilion became clamorous with catcalls, whistles and the rhythmic banging of pop bottles. "Lastly! Lastly!" shouted delegates-meaning that the Senator should make his last point and sit down. Finally, he did. Magsaysay followed him and was brief. "I am a man of action," said he. "Therefore, I am not a speechmaker." Magsaysay sat down to a fervent ovation...
