Falla: La Vida Breve (Victoria de los Angeles, Emilio Paya; Barcelona Opera Symphony conducted by Ernesto Halffter; Victor, 2 LPs). Written when he was nearly 30 (in 1905), this opera was chosen by Composer de Falla himself as his Op. 1. It starts as leisurely as a siesta, builds its tale of faithless love and sudden death (of a broken heart) to a warm climax. Soprano de los Angeles sings like a bird...

It was not a revolution, for there had been no violent upsets in the party centers of power; it was rather an overhauling, a rejuvenation. Trends and processes that had been going on for months came to fruition at Naples.

It did not pay off until last week, when the Atomic Energy Commission, after much hesitation, awarded $300,000 to the Italians and their associates. Besides Fermi, two of them, Drs. Franco Rasetti and Emilio Segre, are now atomic scientists in the U.S. The fourth, Dr. Edoardo Amaldi, is still in Rome. The fifth, Dr. Bruno Pontecorvo, will have trouble collecting his. He vanished in Finland in 1950 and is now presumably working for the Russians...
