...fascination with primary color, with pure emotion, he resembled the impressionist painters-Cezanne perhaps, or Monet. Debussy still surprises with his strange, exotic and otherworldly sound. Studied in fresh detail-in such books as British Musicologist Edward Lockspeiser's new biography, Debussy: His Life and Mind (Vol. 1)-he still fascinates as a talented and tormented...
...name the man who was making them. At 29, Arthur Lyman and his group of Hawaiian musicians are staples of the pop-record market. One album alone, titled Taboo, has sold close to 2,000,000 copies, and Lyman fans buy each new effort (Yellow Bird, Hawaiian Sunset, Taboo Vol. 2) with the enthusiasm of rare-stamp collectors.

Out of Rodgers' apparently indestructible score, Orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett has dug enough material to add a third phenomenally selling album to this phenomenally selling series. The music is not Rodgers' vigorous best, but with the inclusion of authentic battle sounds and the addition of a "Symphonic Scenario" incorporating Guadalcanal March and Hymn of Victory, the album makes stirring listening...
