Yesterday's program would have staggered a major symphony, but the HRO and the University Choir took it on without flinching. The Haydn Paukenmesse, the Stravinsky Symphony of Psalms, and the lovely little Schutz choral piece, Lobe den Herren, Meine Seele are all challenging pieces. It is amazing, not that the players handled them so well, but that they could handle them...
...found, was also infested with "glib touchers," "sensual pedants" and "sensitivity heads," people who pretended to be growing but were actually addicts who had to have "a maintenance dose of intimacy."

Miss Curtis seemed intimidated by this Salome-like display but still bettered her prosaic performance in the Schutz. The two male soloists sang adequately, Robert Gartside's illustrative facial antics notwithstanding. I wished for vastly superior pronunciation from everyone concerned. The highlight of the Mozart was the translucent Laudate Pueri in which the choral balances were exact in well-intoned and excellently phrased singing. The chamber orchestra played...
