FAURÉ: LA CHANSON D'ÈVE, AND FAURÉ'DEBUSSY: SIX VERLAINE POEMS SUNG BY PHYLLIS CURTIN (Cambridge). In the Song of Eve, Charles van Lerberghe's poetry runs with Eve through paradise on the world's first morning-fresh, vibrant, exulting. Fauré's setting is considerably tamer, though it echoes the poet's purity, as does Soprano Curtin. The flip side of this unusual record consists of settings by Fauré and Debussy of the same six Verlaine lyrics. It is a tribute to the richness of French songs that both...
...inhibited than most. London today is in many ways like the cheerful, violent, lusty town of William Shakespeare, one of whose happiest songs is about "a lover and his lass, that o'er the green cornfield did pass." It is no coincidence that critics describe London's vibrant theater as being in the midst of a second Elizabethan era, that one number on the Rolling Stones' newest LP is a mock-Elizabethan ballad with a harpsichord and dulcimer for accompaniment, or that Italian Novelist Alberto Mo ravia describes the British cinema today as "undergoing a renaissance...
...especially by a book, Feminine Forever, by Brooklyn Gynecologist Robert A. Wilson (M. Evans & Co., Inc., $5.95). According to the ads, Feminine Forever is the answer to the Hokinson woman's prayers -it tells "how to avoid menopause completely in your life, and stay a romantic, desirable, vibrant woman as long as you live.

The author himself does not go quite that far, although he says his work is "one of the greatest biological revolutions in the history...
Bright Vision. Seurat's The Watering Can, which Paul Mellon presented to his wife as a Christmas present, is a vibrant testimony to the pleasure that the painter found in contemplating his father's garden outside Paris. Says Art Historian John Rewald: "Seurat welcomed the opportunity for small studies on the play of light over shrubbery or fields. To them he gave an incredible delicacy." Bonnard grew old joyously contemplating his own garden at Le Cannet above the shores of the Mediterranean, pursuing an ever more jubilant orchestration of clear blue skies and yellow blooms. Pissarro, the first...
Violinist Isaac Stern, 45, bowed solemnly to the audience, tucked the fiddle under his chin, and began a vibrant performance of Schubert's Ave Maria. Suddenly, he vibrated a few perfectly awful noises, fudging the notes with the middle finger of his left hand. Stern's audience was the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, which was hearing an $85,000 damage suit brought by his old friend, Violinist Eric Rosenblith, who claims that an attendant at a car-rental agency in Allentown, Pa., slammed a door on his fingers, thereby impairing his ability to perform. After the rental...
