O ▁don ▁f ata le ", ▁Dol ora ▁Z aj ick ▁brought ▁the ▁house ▁down . ▁ ▁J . ▁B . ▁Ste ane ▁review ed ▁the ▁CD ▁of ▁the ▁g ala ▁in ▁Gram oph one ▁in ▁December ▁ 1 9 9 8 . ▁" Out ▁come ▁the ▁stars ," ▁he ▁wrote , ▁" one ▁by ▁one ▁or ▁two ▁by ▁two ▁and ▁then ▁six ▁of ▁them ▁in ▁a ▁galax y . ▁Some ▁have ▁been ▁in ▁the ▁firm ament ▁a ▁long ▁time , ▁others ▁are ▁almost ▁new . ▁But ▁all ▁are ▁there ▁... ▁to ▁pay ▁t ribute ". ▁ ▁There ▁was ▁no ▁doubt ▁that ▁the ▁g ala ▁must ▁have ▁been ▁a ▁delight ful ▁celebr ation , ▁but ▁the ▁wis est ▁rule ▁for ▁such ▁events ▁was ▁to ▁record ▁them ▁in ▁one ' s ▁memory ▁rather ▁than ▁on ▁t ape . ▁This ▁was ▁not ▁to ▁say ▁that ▁the ▁CD ▁was ▁without ▁mer it . ▁Ren ée ▁F lem ing ▁sang ▁really ▁beautiful ly ▁in ▁" Dep uis ▁le ▁jour " ▁from ▁the ▁line ▁" A u ▁j ardin ▁de ▁mon ▁c œur " ▁on wards , ▁and ▁Ruth ▁Ann ▁Sw enson ▁ess ay ed ▁a ▁brave ▁and ▁fruit ful ▁soft ▁passage ▁half ▁way ▁through ▁Jul iet ' s ▁w alt z . ▁But ▁the ▁album ' s ▁senior ▁contrib utors ▁sound ed ▁below ▁their ▁best , ▁and ▁even ▁their ▁younger ▁colle agues ▁never ▁rose ▁to ▁real ▁great ness . ▁ ▁It ▁was ▁possible ▁that ▁this ▁was ▁partly ▁to ▁do ▁with ▁the ▁disc ' s ▁audio ▁quality .
