...delight. The audience applauded briskly, and most critics splashed their reviews with such words as "energetic." "singing," "blazing." But for all the blaze, Ormandy's tempi were questionable, and his lush handling of the strings in the Bach reminded Chicago Sun-Times Critic Robert C. Marsh of "chocolate syrup" with ''a whipped-cream decoration."

Such old grads of the whipped-cream-and-syrup school as André Kostelanetz, Paul Weston, Phil Spitalny and George Melachrino did some pioneering as early as the '40s, were later joined by a host of others. TV's Jackie Gleason became such an adept mood picker that his Music for Lovers Only sold half a million...
