...Alton Jones Chair of Composition at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore this year. In Europe, he ranks as one of the most influential American composers, and is admired by such leading musicians as France's Pierre Boulez, Germany's Karlheinz Stockhausen and Italy's Bruno Maderna. Available Forms II, which is Brown's most ambitious work, was performed by the New York Philharmonic in 1964, with Brown conducting one orchestra of 49 players and Leonard Bernstein another. Brown is now putting the finishing touches on a work for 30 instrumentalists that he will perform...

SYMPHONY NO. 5, BRUNO WALTER AND THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC and KINDERTOTENLIEDER, KATHLEEN FERRIER WITH WALTER AND THE VIENNA PHILHARMONIC (Odyssey, two LPs). Two more stereo re-channelings of early Walter recordings. The symphony is especially notable for the gemutlich rendition of the adagietto. This is the movement that Leonard Bernstein conducted at Senator Robert F. Kennedy's funeral in Manhattan's St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Kindertotenlieder is one of the last-and one of the best-recordings made by English Contralto Kathleen Ferrier before her death...
