...classical guitar-Galilei, Sanz, Bach, Sor, Albéniz. His sound was lushly colored, his touch always impeccable, his readings alive with an extraordinary range of nuance not often found in the guitar. Celin, 24, followed his father-again with classical selections, but in a mistier, more rhapsodic vein. Angel, 14. offered a limber, clean-lined performance of the Bach Chaconne from Partita Number Two. Pepe, 18, whipped through a selection of flamenco songs with remarkable fire and dexterity, thrumming out the music's traditional chords with steel-sure fingers.

Reaching back into history, the Philadelphia Bulletin discussed the dynastic problems of Napoleon Bonaparte, who "had four brothers and three...

To act upon the assumptions of a rejected humanism is tonic, or at least good for kick, and wry glimpses of a hypothetical salvation may still be achieved in the pick-up bed. This is the mother vein of romantic irony, clowning in the densely-populated limbo between "infinite will" and "confined execution...
