...Aurora (after the cruiser that fired on the Winter Palace), and the finale. Dawn of Mankind. The symphony avoids the dark colors and heavy textures of traditional Russian orchestral music; it recalls far better works in its sharply staccato rhythms and in the superb ingenuity of some of its string sequences. But not even as fine a technician as Shostakovich could conceal the general banality...

For a team that had every right to crow, the Yankees were remarkably restrained about their easy victory. The Yankee front office dutifully scheduled a champagne-and-steak victory celebration, but it fell flat when half...
