...remarried (she was divorced from Husband No. 1 in 1954), Hephzibah lives in London with her sociologist husband and sometimes goes for weeks without touching the piano ("I don't believe in too much music"). But when she and Yehudi met in Paris for a concert two years ago and first tried the Bartok Sonata, they "sailed right through it; we astonished even ourselves...
Bach: Arias (The Bach Aria Group, conducted by William Scheide; Decca). One of the nation's finest chamber groups, including Soprano Eileen Farrell and Tenor Jan Peerce, offers masterful performances of some little-known arias and duets from the Bach cantatas.

With noradrenaline, said Dr. Friedman, the jump was still more pronounced: 173% compared with 64%. In large amounts, both these...
Even more than most windups of multiple novels, The Mansion ties up so many loose ends that the string can sometimes hardly be seen for the knots. For a good deal of the way, The Mansion recapitulates the first two books. Flem's dirty deals,Wife Eula's electric sexiness, Daughter Linda's womanly inheritance from her mother, nice Lawyer Stevens' frustrated hankering for them both-none of these can easily be appreciated without some help from The Hamlet and The Town...
