...recorded both Mozart and Stockhausen for Deutsche Grammophon. His technique was particularly well-suited to the fierce leaps and skips of the third prelude, "The Wind of the Plain." It was equally fun to watch him grab fistfuls of notes with such glorious abandon in "The Hills of Anacapri," the ending of which seemed contrived by Debussy to recall the final arpeggio of the earlier "Gardens in the Rain" from his "Estampes." Pollini's mastery of Lisztian technique was evident in the whirling "What the West Wind Saw," and his refined yet poetic sensitivity in "The Girl With the Flaxen...
Debussy: Préludes, Vol. 1 (Pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Deutsche Grammophon). Any recording by the reclusive Michelangeli is an event. His Debussy is almost transparent. Light seems to flicker and dance throughout, creating moments of incandescent beauty. The carefree Les collines d'Anacapri and the eerie stillness of La cathédrale engloutie are special joys...
...Continent whom Mario can trust to love him for love alone. Reason: she is stone deaf. That is, until she has that operation, "dangerously close to the brain." If, like Johanna, moviegoers could keep their ears closed and their eyes open, they might enjoy Salzburg, Rome, Capri and Anacapri in fetching color.

Simona keeps promising better things, but it is plain that she is somehow frightened or not really in love or both. To make matters worse, she is a Communist, and Giacomo is not at all interested in politics. When they run across one of Simona's party pals, jealousy is added to discontent. That night, when the marriage is consummated, it is as though two well...
...Their presence was an unmistakable sign that there must be fresh-water springs under the island. With little more than that to go on, Mistura persuaded local and Italian officials to help him drill a well. Last week, after five months of digging through folds of hard rock near Anacapri, he struck fresh water at a point 171 feet below the sea surface. His theory: that he had struck an underground stream of water flowing from the Apennines near Naples. Whether it was enough to supply the island's whole need-and to make the marchese's fortune...
