...piano tone from the stage, he whis pered, was remarkably rich and resonant. "Why can't I get a piano like that when I go to Steinway?" he grumbled...
...Boston Symphony that is only partially successful. Leinsdorf manages crowd scenes like a musical DeMille, so that sequences like the gathering of the clans in the second act are wonderfully exciting. In the title role, Sandor Konya conveys a gentle, human Lohengrin, and William Dooley makes a rich-voiced, menacing Telramund.

The result is that all the Chicago blues are shot through with the raw purity of emotion, the lyricism and rhythmic subtlety of the Mississippi country style. Now a whole generation of younger performers have added technical polish and a hard driving sound that...
