Everybody was expecting some sort of instruction of some sort. Instead, all Stravinsky said was "Gee this is wonderful music!"<BR/> <BR/>Cheers<BR/>David CavlovicPliablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-16811227321485429362008-05-13T08:41:00.000+01:002008-05-13T08:41:00.000+01:00Alex Ross has a parallel review of a New York Rite...Alex Ross has a parallel review of a New York <I>Rite</I> -<BR/><BR/>http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/musical/2008/05/19/080519crmu_music_ross?currentPage=allPliablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.com
