Mildred Norton

  • “Stravinsky's Cantata for mezzo-soprano, tenor, women's choir and five instruments, based on Tudor verses, is a mercilessly dull, wholly unleavened essay in boredom ... a triumph of musical vacuity over the literary vigor of its text ... The most invigorating sound I heard was a restive neighbor winding his watch.”

    • Mildred Norton,
    • in Nicolas Slonimsky, Lexicon of Musical Invective ()
