MOZART: PIANO CONCERTOS NOS. 13 AND 17 (Columbia). French Pianist Philippe Entremont, 34, makes his recording debut as conductor in addition to playing the piano solos. There is plenty of precedent for the dual role: Bach at the keyboard, Mozart at the violin, playing and leading simultaneously. Entremont the conductor picked Mozart "because of the relatively small forces involved and the relatively simple rhythms," but it is Entremont the pianist who makes this a masterly record.

Long now has a new Ondine, a 73-ft. 6-in. ketch that is the prettiest, most opulent and-on the chart of her first two races-the fastest-racing yacht on the high seas.

...financier's wife is played by a sleek, sweet dream from England named Jacqueline Bisset. Her screen debut in the part originally scheduled for Mia Farrow-before she walked out on the movie and on Sinatra-is one of The Detective's redeeming features. Otherwise, this police epic peters out in aimless diffusion and in some of the most absurd juxtapositions of Manhattan and California location shots ever seen...
