Piano Piece by Phoebe Wood seemed logically constructed, though it did not make much of a point to me (it was heard to its disadvantage immediately after the Des Marais). I found Stuart Feder's Sonatina Movement an attractive, waltz like number. The two movements performed from Mr. Wester guard's Violia Sonata impressed me as pleasant and skillfully conceived...
...flies a kite, sings to an inchworm, talks to a dog or transforms his thumb into a little girl, Kaye succeeds in conjuring up something of the charm of a child's storybook world: that magical realm of slippered kings, pouting princesses, dragons and serpents, flowers that waltz, and porcelain figures that fall in love...

Lamas leaps about energetically and sings five tuneful Lehar songs, including Girls, Girls, Girls, Villa, and I'm Going to Maxim's.

The king's music won the loudest applause of the evening. Cherie might, with popular orchestration (and perhaps another diplomatic assist) provide King Phumiphon's show tunes with some stiff competition...
