MOZART: CONCERTOS 14, IN E FLAT MAJOR, AND 17, IN G MAJOR (Columbia). The elegant flowers of Mozart's genius are tended with loving care by Rudolf Serkin. He does particularly well at portraying the shifting moods of the G Major Concerto, which begins like one of the composer's opera overtures with a triumphant flood of sound, then grows increasingly introspective. Serkin's careful hands hold the balance, and the listener hears one of Mozart's most poignant statements...

...unemployed Hollywood publicity agent. His publications still reflect his basic tenet. They are aimed at the active "hobby enthusiast." Their information is reliable, their illustrations are informative, and above all, they speak their aficionados' lingo. Hot Rod (monthly circ. 770,000), for example, is for the flat-out pro. "If you don't know a hemi from a zoomie, you're not ready for Hot Rod," says Managing Editor Don Evans...
