...Czech music is very much alive. This gorgeous piece was very well played. The cellist distinguished himself with a beautiful, full, resonant opening and the ensemble played with much more rhythmic unity and dynamic cohesion. Walter Trampler was superb throughout the Dvorak.

Herschel Bernardi is the man of Crete and Maria Karnilova is his French lady friend. They have a strong assist from gutsy-voiced Lorraine Serabian, who heads a Greek chorus. At the IMPERIAL, W. 45th...
