...performance of the piece by the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society, the Halaphone not only transmuted the instrumental sounds electronically, but sped those sounds around the concert hall via loudspeakers pinned to the walls. Boulez remained onstage cuing the technicians. The title of the composition is descriptive: while the violin, flute or vibraphone plays on a given pitch level (fixe), the trumpet or cello explodes (explosante) with violent rhythms or scale passages. But fixation can sometimes change to explosion, and vice versa. Through another of the Halaphone's circuits, for example, tones produced by the clarinet actually trigger electronic...
...pledge between him and the composer. Here are some of his finest concerto recordings-notably the Brahms with Hamilton Harty (1928), the Beethoven with Bruno Walter (1932), the Prokofiev First, Mozart Fourth and the Mendelssohn with Sir Thomas Beecham (1933-35) and, at long last on LP, the Beethoven Violin and Piano Sonatas Nos. 5 and 10 with Artur Schnabel (1948).

The riddle of the Sphinx is nothing compared with the mystery of Mozart interpretation.

His playing (that curvaceous tone especially) has a touch of the romantic, but not enough to tarnish the piquant bloom of youth that imbues...
...father loved classical music, symphonic music, especially Bach, Verdi, Puccini. He played the violin, and he was very glad to see that I started to play the piano. My father was very kind, very gentle with me..." A reminiscence by some young Einstein? Not at all. The speaker was Romano Mussolini, son of Italy's Fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini, arriving in New York on tour as a jazz pianist. Young Mussolini, who bills himself as "a legendary name in Italian jazz," says he is a disciple of Duke Ellington and offers a repertoire ranging from Summertime to a syncopated...
