...KURT WEILL CABARET (MGM) faithfully captures the spirit of the year's best tribute to Weill and his collaborators. Folksinger Will Holt is passable, but Soprano Martha Schlamme (TIME, June 21) is passionately aware of each song's message, and her singing is a dulcet expression of irony, grief...
VICTORIA DE LOS ANGELES: MÉLODIES DE FRANCE (Angel). Soprano De los Angeles has a voice as well-suited to dulcet song cycles from France as to the Spanish repertory she often sings. Here, with little help from the Paris Conservatory Orchestra under Georges Prétre, she sings Ravel, Duparc and Debussy with ease and grace...
...Teheran, le grand Charles was welcomed by Iran's Shahanshah, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, and his lovely Empress, Farah Diba-who share dulcet memories of France, since the Shah first met his young Queen-to-be while she was an architecture student in Paris.

Then they turned to the subject matter that early French impressionism grew fat upon: landscapes populated by rocks and sheep, woodsmen warming in a shack, wheat harvests, the faces of peasants-all done in the subdued tonalities of their dulcet quattrocento ancestors, Fra Angelico, Domenico Veneziano and Piero della Francesca. This week in Manhattan, a show of 92 works goes on view at the American Federation of Arts Gallery; to many viewers, it will be a pleasant new-found island (see color) in the apparently empty seas of Italian...
