MENDELSSOHN: ELIJAH (Angel). In a superb recording, Sir Malcolm Sargent conducts the Royal Society Orchestra in highlights only, but the cuts are not really missed: Sir Malcolm wisely opts for the graceful Mendelssohnian airs; Soprano Elizabeth Harwood gives a limpid account of "Hear ye. Israel"; John Shirley-Quick delivers "Is not his word like a fire" in an opulent basso style.

But the Israel Philharmonic thrived-so well, in fact, that...

Those who mailed in an unauthorized ballot were sent letters asking whether they had misplaced their official ballot and needed another one, Kennedy explained.
