...recording is a knockout, fully comparable to London's history-making Ring cycle. Conductor Georg Solti, today's top conductor of Wagner, makes the opera brilliant and unabashedly grand. As Venus, Mezzo-Soprano Christa Ludwig seethes with eroticism, suggesting a world of impossible sexuality. Soprano Helga Dernesch as Elisabeth, Wagner's virginal opposite to Venus, is the perfect embodiment of pinched Victorian purity. Best of all is Tenor René Kollo, a German pop singer metamorphosed into a Heldentenor, who sings Tannhäuser with a gleaming tone, power, and a dramatic force unequaled since Lauritz Melchior...

...kits and books arouse the scorn of some longtime enthusiasts. "macramé is a beautiful and old art form," says Mrs. Christa Mayer, curator of textiles at the Chicago Art Institute, "but it is being sadly cheapened by the how-to books." Although macramé's pragmatic virtues are stressed in its latest incarnation, it retains its artistic values.
