...Concertos for Piano and Orchestra Nos. I and 2. Arnold Schönberg: 17 short piano pieces. Anton Webern: Variations for Piano. Pierre Boulez: Second Sonata for Piano. Luigi Nono: Music for Soprano, Piano, Orchestra and Magnetic Tape (Slavka Taskova, soprano, and the Symphony Orchestra of the Bayerischen Rundfunks, Claudio Abbado, conductor; Deutsche Grammophon, five LPs). Pollini's herculean fingering stands out even in that select circle of great young pianists to which he belongs. His Chopin Etudes may set a new standard for his generation; his performance of Schubert's difficult late sonatas is a triumph...
Antonio Vivaldi: Works for Flute and Orchestra Vol. Ill (Jean Pierre Rampal and Joseph Rampal, flutes, with I Solisti Veneti, Claudio Scimone, director; Musical Heritage Society). Admirers of 18th century Italian music are indebted to Scimone and his group for their part in rekindling enthusiasm for the Mediterranean treasures of the period. The Rampals, of course, have been outstanding influences in the current popularity of classical flute. The mechanical clarity they bring to Vivaldi's refrains is another in a long line of Rampal victories through air power...

Arns' head of the labor pastorate, promptly opened 75 churches for strike meetings and food distribution. Earlier this year, too, by an overwhelming vote (172 to 4, though with four abstentions and 100 absent), the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops took a stand on land reform, Brazil...
Pollini and Nono spend part of each summer at Conductor Claudio Abbado's house in Sardinia, playing netball and cards and, of course, arguing politics. (Pollini and Abbado are former members of the Communist Party, Nono still belongs.) When Pollini is not going to the movies -Woody Allen is a favorite-he reads constantly to enrich his musical culture: criticism, biographies, memoirs. In his practicing, as in everything about the piano, he goes his own way. There was, for instance, the time he closeted himself to prepare for an important concert. Friends, hearing no music, opened his door...
