Esperanto, Fortissimo WILLIAM F. RICKENBACKER SUBDIVISION of the Columbia Broadcasting System is Columbia Records. A subsidiary of Columbia Records is Epic Records. A subsidiary of Epic is Crossroads Records. Lower than this one cannot go. Now the in- teresting thing about Crossroads is that it’s no carfax at all, but an ide- ological cul-de-sac where an aging heresy is nursed, rouged, and propped in the window to comfort the un- questioning. It is the old rubato no- tion that music is “the universal lan- guage.” Acting out this piece of folly, the street sweepers at Crossroads have Franck: Symphony in D Minor: Sir John Barbirolli and the Czech Phil- harmonic Orchestra (Crossroads Stereo
16 0128) Mozart: Symphony No. 39 and Sym-— phony No. 41: Peter Maag and the Japan Philharmonic (Crossroads Stereo
