...powerful, thoughtfully-structured music. Peruvian girls are crazy about it. I cannot condemn this "cultural imperialism," if that's what it is, because it is perpetrated by the music I grew up on. Others might have been weaned on Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, cello lessons and madrigal singing around the family piano, but I spent my Wonder Years humming along to Diana Ross singing "Baby Love." The future is unpredictable; perhaps in another few years Peru will swing left again, and schoolchildren will be required to sing the "Internationale," but in the meantime, "Love Hurts" is taking Arequipa...
...where was I? For sure--we were discussing British rock. And Mick Jagger? Well...How about some Alex Harvey for those of you enamoured of rock stars who sing Tom Jo nes' "Delilah" looking like a decadently deranged schoolboy in holey rugby shirt? Or the same fellow in flasher's raincoat and Richard Helm's hat, singing "Vambo to the Rescue" on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. But I diverge.

Last week, for example, her stage was the San Francisco Opera, where to cheers and sustained applause Von Stade wound up a two-week stand as the young-but-savvy Rosina in Rossini's The Barber of Seville. Then she headed for Italy, where next week she will sing the same role at La Scala. When not in the opera house, she is in the recording studios. Two new albums, French Opera Arias (Columbia) and Frederica von Stade Sings Mozart-Rossini Opera Arias (Philips), display what the fuss is about -a lustrous amber mezzo-soprano voice with an unusually...
...entire orchestral ensemble arrived on stage. Shumsky's rigorous approach paid off in good intonation and intelligent treatment of musical lines. Again, the choice of music fit the performing group, as the segmented polyphony merged in and out of broad themes, allowing each section maximum opportunity to 'sing' unabashedly in its turn...
