...cannot drink a glass of beer without its dilution in Handel's Water Music," Author-Critic Jacques Barzun wrote recently, in describing the amazing musical saturation of the U.S. atmosphere. This week Piano Virtuoso Artur Rubinstein (see PEOPLE) enthusiastically echoes Barzun's point that "in spite of our perennial croaking about America's neglect of the arts, the country spends more money for music than the entire rest of the world."

...doesn't it happen more often? For roughly $200,000, the price of four half-hour variety shows, Impresario Sol Hurok put some of music's brightest stars into dazzling constellation. The camera let the viewer hover over the fingers of Guitarist Andres Segovia and Pianist Artur Rubinstein, linger in closeup on the intense face of Marian Anderson, share the lilt of Verdi's La Traviata with Victoria de los Angeles, stand amid the powerful climax of Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, superbly acted and sung by Bulgaria's Boris Christoff.
