...overwhelms the viewer. Outdoors, it takes on what Curator Tuchman, 30, calls "a heroic quality." Besides, it gets the benefits of the California sunshine, which Tuchman, who is a recent migrant from New York, describes rhapsodically as "more diffuse, more intense, with a pervasive glare, a kind of luminescence." Sol Lewitt's white jungle gym, for instance, gains a thousand chunky highlights from the sun. The California show also clearly demonstrates that the new cool geometry, which is often combined with bright color or gleaming industrial surfaces, is a truly nationwide movement. And the West Coast is at least...
...glare, which took in the whole orchestra but made each player feel that it was focused on him-usually in reproach. And then there were the tantrums. When a piece was not played as Toscanini wanted it, "his irritation used to start at his feet and rise," recalls Bassoonist Sol Schoen-bach. "By the time it reached his mouth, it was like a volcano erupting."

Madrid is going crazy"). Favored this year by the rich and beautiful people: Sotogrande del Guadiaro on the Costa del Sol, a region that boasts 3,200 acres overlooking the Rock of Gibraltar, several fine hotels, two golf courses and fine swimming. Equally In: nearby Marbella (the Duke and Duchess of Windsor will be there...
Stravinsky called the 93-minute Sol at "musical theater without singing." With narration, dialogue, mime and a charming score* that prances through tangos, jazz waltzes and chorales, it tells the parable of a soldier who encounters the Devil and sells him his fiddle (his soul) in exchange for the secret to the world's treasures.
