Unlike some other musical organizations, the Band can afford to do this, blessed as it is with a plethora of excellent soloists. In their hands the suite was a seductive brew of biting sarcasm and nostalgia - echt...
Marianne DeKoven (Romelio's sister) didn't burn her bridges and she should have. She played her love scene with little ardor because she knew she'd wind up at the end with a different partner. Her hesitancy only spoils the scene. It didn't make her marriage seem reasonable. James Shuman (Contarino) played the scene with more ardor...
