... the enterprising Noreen
Green and her Los Angeles Jewish Symphony produce more than an hour's worth
of Weill's hauntingly beautiful "Eternal Road" music, its first hearing
here since a Hollywood Bowl performance led by Franz Waxman over 50 years
ago. Onstage as between-the-scenes narrator there's the veteran actor Dick
Van Patten, who as Dickie Van Patten had played the boy Isaac in the 1937
original; a nice existential touch.
