...unusual confluence of religious and musical feeling. In his last agony an old man is guided past the demons of hell by a protecting angel, who then sadly reveals that he must "dip in the lake of Purgatory" before he can see God. Janet Baker gives a warm performance as the angel, and Richard Lewis' exceptional gifts for phrasing carry him through a very wordy role...
...nation as lush and warm as Indonesia, life goes on. The skies of Java are dotted with bright kites flown by bright-eyed barefoot boys. In Makasar, spotted deer tethered to trees keep the grass cut short beside the boulevards; while, on the waterfront, Buginese sailmakers squat on the docks sewing large squares of canvas together.

The face shows the same old clutter of confusions: arrogance, snobbery, priggery, pushiness, stinginess, grossness, rampant infantilism. But behind the confusions, Pottle perceives the fundamental fear and hunger in the man and, more acutely than any earlier biographer, discerns his peculiar powers...
