No Yank

I wish to correct a minor error in Leonard Feather’s July 30 column. In this otherwise excellent piece about the singers Adelaide Hall and Marion Montgomery, he referred to “the American pianist Richard Rodney Bennett.” Bennett actually is British and a renowned composer with symphonies, operas, chamber works and films (“The Orient Express,” “Nicholas and Alexandra,” etc.) to his credit.
