...province's 30,000-acre Washington Sugar Central, the entire destinies of 4,000 co-op farmers are controlled by a 23-year-old ex-schoolteacher; so far, he has concentrated on sewing lessons for young girls, close-order drill for a "sanitation corps" of boys. The practical effect, says a U.S. plantation foreman, has been to "set Cuban agriculture back five years." In Oriente province INRA plowed up 20,000 acres of ranch land for truck farming-then learned that there was no way to irrigate the parched land...

The effect, as presented by Dutch Pianist Petri, is a little like watching a nature film in which plants miraculously blossom and grow before the viewer's eyes. Amazingly, Busoni's collection of twigs and branches emerges looking like a single plant...
