...ambassador scored well with a novel form of entertainment. She and her husband, a former law school dean, worked up a month-long "Image of Chile" program, lured more than 300 diplomats and officials, including the Bobby Kennedys, the Johnsons, the Arthur Schlesingers Jr., to hear performers like Pianist Claudio Arrau and Felicia Montealegre, Leonard Bernstein's actress wife, who recited Chilean poetry...
...Word, Picture & Song. The ambitious programs to come include a photo exhibition of Chile's beautiful Andean landscape and its handsome people, recitals by Chile's brilliant young cellist, Edgar Fischer, its famed Pianist Claudio Arrau and two of his most promising students, Mario Miranda and Alfonso Montecino. As the month goes on, Chile's writers will meet their U.S. con temporaries for panel discussions of the Chilean novel, featuring Sometime Critic Arthur Schlesinger, and theater, featuring Director Jose Quintero. Washington will be invited to a folklore program of song and dance; and Washington's Howard...
...Babe has been more fortunate in the rest of his cast, which is helplessly inept. Philip Heckscher's pre-adolescent and pre-Raphaelite Claudio cannot conceivably be guilty of the crime for which he stands condemned.

Jacqueline Winer transforms Mistress Overdone into an inaudible New Orleans madam...
...CLAUDIO ABBADO. 29. from Milan, had by far the most flair. He stood with feet planted as on a rolling deck, and with great sweeps of the arms drew a rich and textured sound from the orchestra. A pianist. Abbado had none of the usual percussive tastes of the pianistic conductor: instead, he even trusted the beaters and blowers in the orchestra to come in without cues while he painted tones in the violin section. Abbado studied at the Mozarteum and the Vienna Academy of Music, and in 1958 he won the Koussevitzky Prize for conductors at Tanglewood...
...expedient for proclaiming the profundity of the drama; by the last scene the sections in more obvious liturgical setting have become annoyingly irrelevant. The two writers are not, of course, alone in this abuse. The same pretentious archaism afflicts, for instance, the Verses from the Book of Ruth of Claudio Spies which the Choral Society sang last spring and Le Mystere de la Nativite of Frank Martin which appeared here this Christmas...
