Wozzeck Opera at Tanglewood Review

A Berkshire review of Alban Bergs Wozzeck at Tanglewood notes Leinsdorfs conducting and a strong cast led by Richard Taylors baritone and Alexandra Hunts soprano. The piece is praised for its psychological depth and orchestral demands, with acknowledgment of the festival season showing musical drama evolution and the rare performance challenges overcome by the Berkshire Music Center ensemble.

Flashman and Naked Came the Stranger in Midflight Critique

A reader recalls George MacDonald Fraser s Flashman exploits and the sensational Novel Naked Came the Stranger. The piece critiques how reviewers and publishers chase risqué works and questions the authenticity of public taste. It notes sales figures and film rights interest, and closes with a Honolulu AP dispatch on Fiddler on the Roof touring, its Broadway run, and national reach.

Berkshire Museum Abounds With Art From Classic Lands to Bauhaus

A month of varied exhibits at Berkshire Museum features Robert Angeloch in the long white gallery with traditional landscapes, Pierre Jacquemon in the small modern gallery offering four abstracts, Bauhaus prints in the little gallery, and African sculpture in the Berkshire Room. The show pairs Angeloch’s academic, sea coast works with Jacquemon’s nonobjective, decorative pieces, while Bauhaus masters such as Albers and Kandinsky occupy their own space. The African collection, though superb, suffers from traditional display and clutter, failing to fully engage visitors including children. Supported by South Mountain Association, Junior League, and the NAACP with loans from Peabody Museum and Rockefeller Collection.
