Composer and pianist Christopher Berg <TENTENDER@aol.com> has
generously sent me a performance tape of his four Nabokov song settings:
"Restoration," "A Discovery," "Rain," and "A Literary Dinner." Performed
by Berg and soprano Georgine Resick, all are a delight and "A Literary
Dinner," most of all. All lovers of the art song and VN's poetry should
hear this performance. Further information is available from Mr. Berg.
