...Christmas disk has somewhat better surfaces, and the same almost matchless quality of choral singing. The assortment of short pieces has more variety than the mass, and gives the HGC-RCS the chance to display considerable breadth of technique. They approach each carol with appropriate vigor or with calm, so that they are somehow able to sound festive without sounding like the YWCA Christmas party...
...Hassler's Cantate Domino from Sacri Concentus. For such a large group, the girls appeared excellently drilled. The Choral Society did not fare so well for most of the remainder of the evening, the Sopranos in particular being somewhat thin and ofttimes shrill. The group sang Mabel Daniels' new Carol of a Rose. The selection, with words from a fifteenth century Flemish poem, was quite unexciting.

Despite appealing performances by Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence as the lovers, the romance almost everywhere falls short of the gang warfare. Shakespeare's High-Renaissance ardors and angers do not translate into the barbarism of West Side Story any more than did Greek-tragedy incests and betrayals into the primitivism of Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge. Fire-escape balcony scenes and corner-drugstore Friar Lawrences are not only distracting but tinged with bathos. Similarly, Composer Bernstein does better with his harsh, tingling music for the dancers than with his lyrical duets for the lovers...
