Ernst had a distinct prophetic faculty: immersed in the 20th century and lacking any nostalgia, he could feel what was coming. The ruins of The Petrified City (1933) are both an aftertaste of the first World War and a foretaste of the second, and The Angel of Earth (1937), a monster prancing in devouring rage across a flat landscape, had more than a fortuitous connection with the advance of fascism. In Europe After the Rain (1940-42), Ernst produced a vision of spongy, iridescent ruins that deserves a place with Picasso's Guernica as one of the supreme documents...

Virgil Thomson: Music for the Films (Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Neville Marriner, conductor; Angel; $6.98). Virgil Thomson is best known for his operas Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All. Among America's serious composers, however, he pioneered the art of writing music for films with his scores for a pair of Department of Agriculture documentaries.

These two scores were Aaron Copland...

Brahms: Sonata No. 2 in A, Op. 100; Prokofiev: Sonata No. 1 in F Minor, Op. 80 (David Oistrakh, violin; Sviatoslav Richter, piano; Angel Melodiya; $6.98). It was the perfect pairing, Oistrakh and Richter, on the most famous of the Brahms sonatas for violin and piano. This recording was made during a 1972 Moscow recital, 2½ years before the death of the great Soviet violinist. With loving attention to detail, at times unexpectedly puckish. Richter traced each phrase. No question, however, the show belonged to Oistrakh. Springlike and tender or with great gusts of Wagnerian passion, the music flowed...

...Angel Romero: Classical Virtuoso Masterworks for Guitar (Angel; $6.98); Spanish Virtuoso Romantic Music for Guitar (Angel; $6.98). At 29, Romero belongs to the new generation of guitar virtuosos. But the Spanish-born musician is no stranger to the concert hall; along with Brothers Celin and Pepe, Angel has been appearing with Papa Celedonio Romero's family quartet since he was six. Angel's Spanish guitar music vibrates with the heroic digital work and high coloration associated with the repertory. He peels off Tarrega's Chopinesque Estudio Brillante in a fiery burst of romanticism. He can be soft...
