...Turkey. Even with reduced scoring at the Chapel Hill performance, Brubeck's oratorio attested the composer's solid training as a serious musician, mostly under the eye of the French master Darius Milhaud at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. In twelve extensive, complex vocal movements, it traces a series of meditations on the universality of faith, with textual fragments drawn by Brubeck and his wife lola from the Gospels and Psalms. What little jazz there is in the score is far removed from the usual Brubeck sophistication: it is a more primitive, elemental sort, blended with folk overtones...
...hydroelectric project but also a symbol of what has become a growing Soviet penetration of the Arab world. The penetration is largely in the form of military and economic assistance combined with a cultural drive, and the Russians have so far been unable to convert much of it into solid political power. In an area that the West has often found difficult and unrewarding to deal with, the penetration also brings the Russians as many problems as opportunities.

What begins as necessary and solid criticism seems readily to degenerate into a destructive attitude toward life unworthy of reason and inconsistent with faith...
...Cologne Opera's Istvan Kertesz, 38, an unspectacular Hungarian, restricts himself to beating a steady rhythm with his right hand while flicking unobtrusive signals with his left-yet he radiates authority. His solid reputation as a traditionalist does not diminish the currents of conviction and warmth that he stirs into a composition. Armed with a wide repertory, he is equally effective in music as dissimilar as Mozart and Bartok...
