...Pleasure of His Company. Cyril Ritchard as a playboy who never grew up, in an exceedingly well-furnished drawing-room comedy. Among the more appealing furniture: Cornelia Otis Skinner...
...sons of a Russian immigrant, the Gomberg brothers grew up in a Boston slum with five other children, all but one of whom became musicians. "It was a question," says Ralph, "of who would get what room to practice in; being the youngest, I got the bathroom." While the other children were studying violin, cello and trumpet, Harold and Ralph took up the oboe, criticized each other's playing, wound up as scholarship students in Philadelphia's Curtis Institute. Both Harold and Ralph got their jobs with their present orchestras when they were...

The tone, although still tentative-sounding, is more unified and much warmer, and the intonation is better. There is room for more variety in dynamics and a little more grace and awareness of details which would have especially added charm to the Mozart. Harbison's readings are entirely straightforward, concentrating on a good sound rather than interpretive depth; but the notes were, for the most part, well played...
