...virtues of this new recording are the soloists. Carlo Bergonzi is good enough to make the listener forget Jussi Bjoerling's masterly reading of the Ingemisco. Birgit Nilsson is all fire; Lili Chookasian and Ezio Flagello both have big, warm voices. The difficulties stem from Erich Leins-dorf's conducting of the Boston Symphony. The pace is much too slow. The long, dramatic Otello-like lines enshroud the listener rather than move him. Tullio Serafin's interpretation of the Requiem (Angel) is still the best...
...comedown from Europe's gilded past, when internationally celebrated bordellos lined their ballrooms with erotic murals and antique chairs, offered their patrons bare-breasted dancing partners as a starter. But wherever they have sprung up, the hostels have done a land-office business. The Düssel-dorf establishment alone handles nearly 8,000 customers a day-at $3.75 apiece -and in Stuttgart, the monthly take...

Fact is, the West can maintain its dealings with the Russians about as easily through General Yakubovsky, whose headquarters is in nearby Wiins-dorf, as it can with a Russian "Berlin commandant." The contacts have not been very intimate or frequent in any case...

The winning band at Berlin was called "Papa Kos Jazzin' Babies," and among the 23 bands at Frankfurt were the Riverboat Seven of Munich, the Diissel-dorf Feetwarmers. Berlin's Spree City Stompers. They belted out meticulous imitations of the legendary New Orleans bands of King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Johnny Dodds. To listeners remembering old Okeh and Paramount recordings, the effect was sometimes eerily familiar: Frankfurt's Barrel House Jazzband, for instance, aped the disk of Dippermouth Blues with such studious care...
