Milkey, who is the Columbia captain, has led Coach Lou Rossini's quintet in scoring this season. His best shots are a left-handed hook and overhead two-hand set shot. But the big center is not considered as aggressive a ballplayer as Brown's Gerry Alaimo and should not prove as troublesome under the boards as the burly Bruin center...
Many reluctant record buyers believe that chamber music is colorless and dull, hear only the scraping of strings. But often there are no strings attached, as in Rossini's racy, unfailingly amusing Quartets for Woodwinds (Period). Many listeners have come to realize that even string works-Schubert's Death and the Maiden, Beethoven's last quartets-can be as poignant as any symphony. In some cases, record buyers have bitten hard at chamber music, e.g., the Westminster version of Schubert's lusciously Viennese "Trout" Quintet sold 100,000 copies in five years and is still going...
...There was a lot to cheer about the next night, too. when the new Dallas opera staged L'ltallana in Algeri, a much-neglected Rossini romp.

Displayed here, to the delightful if somewhat dubious accompaniment of a console offering Rossini's Barber of Seville at one moment and Brahms' Hungarian Rhapsodies the next, these unpretentious canvases gain much from understatement...
...summer evenings in Italy, the crowds jostle into the famous outdoor arenas-Rome's Baths of Caracalla, Naples' Arena Flegrea-to inhale great draughts of Verdi. Puccini, Rossini and Menotti. But better opera is sung every summer in the country's storied opera houses-to empty stalls and batteries of condenser microphones. Up and down the peninsula last week the record companies were tuning the mikes -to the golden sounds that will burst on buyers' ears next season...
