When and if Brundage's conditions are met, San Francisco, the Gateway to the Orient, will take its place, in one giant stride, among the top U.S. centers for Oriental...

Moreover, he can shape individual musical ideas out of a kind of interior logic without the bolstering of exaggerated tempos or showy dynamics. Last week he made both his Saint-Saëns and Chopin sound beautifully and inevitably correct...
