JUAN GABRIEL. Love's a long song, and so was the Mexican superstar's show. Sunday at Radio City Music Hall, Manhattan. IN ITS PUREST, most commercially elevated form, pop is a universal language, a smooth bridge across the international style line. On his long-awaited new album, "Gracias par Esparar" (BMG Ariola), Mexican superstar Juan Gabriel, a master of creamy romantic ballads worthy of Johnny Mathis, adds bouncy Abba-rock to his repertoire. Mounting a marathon spectacular at Radio City Sunday, the second of two nights there, Gabriel touched more bases than a batting champ.
