...class at West Point, a Rhodes scholar, a decorated four-star general and the man who humbled Slobodan Milosevic when Clark was Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. But if he made any impression at all on many Americans, it happened after he retired and found stardom on CNN as one of the smoothest and most antiwar of the corps of generals turned commentators during the Iraq war.

His first album last year, a rich collection of favorite songs like Schubert's Der Wanderer and Finzi's Rollicum-Rorum, won him the Gramophone magazine award for best newcomer. Although EMI are cagey about the figures, it sold tens of thousands - extremely good for an unknown singer - persuading...
