"Massé, a tall, slender woman dressed in a Valentine's
Day red gown, was every bit as effective with whimsical numbers,
rendering You Can Leave Your Hat On with a sardonic touch
that would surely have pleased Newman. As if all that wasn't enough,
she also offered a gorgeous reading of Faure's art song Le Secret
and then thoroughly affirmed her virtuosic abilities with an a cappella
interpretation of the Minuet and Gigue from Bach's 1st
Cello Suite. It would be hard to imagine anyone--except, possibly,
Bobby McFerrin--who could have managed that sort of showcase performance,
as the centerpiece of such a diverse program of music, with such
magical ease."
