"In a conventional war, there are always targets, like gun emplacements on a hillside, that can't be hit by radar. The only way to hit them is by eyeballing them first."

Conductor Walter Nollner, elicited a kind of breathy pianissimo that was marred only by the group's inability to produce a solid, healthy forte. Of particular note was William Martin's rich, mellifluous baritone solo in Schubert's Zur Guten Nacht; and the piano playing of the three accompanists was always sensitive and virile, if not entirely accurate...
