...began, just five months after the smiling embraces that climaxed the Camp David summit, one of the most inauspicious confrontations in years. Not only did the two leaders meet in a spirit of tension, but the meeting itself was agreed upon only after a series of misunderstandings and misfortunes. Yet on it probably hung the last slim hope of the peace process that Egypt's President Anwar Sadat had begun by his "sacred mission" to Jerusalem in November of 1977. Since then, even since Camp David, drastic changes had jeopardized prospects of peace in the Middle East. The latest...
...chance to present the first complete performance; Liebermann made his first bid in 1950, when he was musical director of Radio Zurich. But they literally did not have a ghost of a chance. Berg's widow and musical executrix, Helene, claimed that her husband's spirit made nocturnal visitations to her in which he opposed completion.

He proposed filial recon-ciliation as the essential ingredient for the healing of the American spirit...

Guitarist Larry Coryell shines among the soloists, reaching way back into blues history for a solo that matches the spirit of the piece. "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting" goes back to 1959, when Mingus recorded it on his Blues and Roots album. This arrangement begins and ends with singing and handclapping, which set a tone of unrestrained fervor. The climax of this rough and rambling church shout is a flaming tenor solo by Ricky Ford...
