...landscape. The poetic ruin near which Siegfried encounters the Rhinemaidens in Gotterdammerung, for example, was suggested by Friedrich's Winter, and the staging uses other Friedrich images prominently. It was a back-to-nature approach, a middle ground between the conservative 1975 Seattle Ring, which was strongly influenced by Arthur Rackham's 1910-1911 book illustrations, and the experiments at Bayreuth, which included both Chereau's radical vision and Hall's muddled attempt at neoromanticism...
...Arthur and Deborah Toga of St. Louis had boarded TWA Flight 847 in Athens a week earlier, at the end of a three-week vacation in Europe, because another flight had been canceled. He is an assistant professor of neurology, she a psychiatric nurse who is seven months pregnant. After she was released by the hijackers in Algiers, she flew to the U.S. to await news of her husband at the home of his parents in Lexington, Mass. In chaotic Beirut last week, Arthur Toga, 32, tried to describe his feelings. "I fear for her, not knowing about my well...
...hijackers. One of his first efforts at conciliation was mildly encouraging. He announced on Tuesday that he had talked the hijackers into releasing three "Greeks," including Folk Singer Demis Roussos. The others turned out to be the singer's American secretary, Pamela Smith, and an American of Greek descent, Arthur Targotsidis, 18, of Brockton, Mass. Roussos burbled with good feelings as he told reporters that the gunmen were "so nice to me, I cannot tell you."

...Norfolk, federal prosecutors herded yet another Walker -- John's older brother Arthur, 50 -- through a preliminary hearing toward arraignment this week. Arthur, who retired from the Navy as a lieutenant commander in 1973, is apparently cooperating with investigators, unlike his brother and nephew, who have pleaded not guilty. Evidence in the hearing strongly suggested that money was the Walkers' motive. Documents indicated that after the 1979 failure of a car-radio shop, Arthur and John Walker faced a $28,807 lien for unpaid taxes. FBI agents testified that John Walker then urged his brother to get a job "where...
George Crumb: A Haunted Landscape; William Schuman: Three Colloquies for Horn and Orchestra. (New York Philharmonic, Arthur Weisberg, conductor (of the Crumb); Zubin Mehta, conductor (Schuman), with Philip Myers, horn; New World Records.) Blessed with one of the most remarkable ears for sonority of any modern composer, Crumb has long had a fascination with the otherworldly. In such works as Songs, Drones and Refrains of Death, the two piano suites of Makrokosmos and the string quartet Black Angels, he combines a distinctive, flamboyant sense of instrumental color with a darkling imagination that results in some chillingly effective music. A Haunted...
