...Berlioz' Requiem Mass, he succeeds in conveying a stunning sense of power. His recent recording (for Westminster) of the Requiem has a VistaVisioned breadth that probably no other conductor could bring to it. Yet Scherchen also has remarkable ability to draw forth individual strands, delineating them in unforgettable detail...
...rehearsals, where her basic conducting is done. Pianist Tureck hands out her own editions of the works to be played (no printed editions of the original Bach orchestral parts are available), explains to the orchestra what her artistic concept is and why she has called for specific details of phrasing, dynamics, tempo. The major problem, she finds, is "getting a new idea of Bach across" to orchestra men chiefly schooled in the romantic repertory of the 19th century. In describing her ideas, she avoids technical detail, often uses phrases like "Keep it broad!" Once, during rehearsal last week, she cried...

Coccioli has leaped over the two stumbling blocks-banality and blasphemy-that beset the path...

But on second look, there were no control provisions in the article they had approved in Geneva. Pressed, a U.S. spokesman admitted that the delegates had agreed to split the article in two, the control provisions being left in the second article. The Soviets, he explained, had "essentially adopted our language." "We will now get to the control system," he added...
