...KNABEN WUNDERHORN, ELISABETH SCHWARZKOPF, DIETRICH FISCHER-DIESKAU, GEORGE SZELL CONDUCTING THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (Angel). Though not a happy composer, Mahler could be light-hearted when he turned to folk poetry. In these twelve songs-drawn from the German folk anthology The Youth's Magic Horn-he conjures up an impish world of humorous saints, sorrowful drummer boys, cuckoos and nightingales. As one would expect from such a line-up of talent, this version abounds with interpretive delights. It does not, however, outclass Angel's previous recording by Janet Baker, Geraint Evans and Conductor Wyn Morris with...

It was Franz Josef Strauss who threw these votes behind Kiesinger, earning himself a place in the Grand Coalition government. Last week Strauss was saying, "I would rather grow pineapples in Alaska than be the German Chancellor." Hardly anyone in Bonn believed...
...longer the ebullient prodigy of postwar German politics, but hardly mellowed in his political ambitions, Strauss seemed to be gradually maneuvering himself into position to unseat and possibly succeed the Chancellor he helped elect.

...aides seriously pondered the possibility of turning their Bavarian union into a national party. They confidently concluded that money would be no problem; enough businessmen could be found to bankroll the expansion. His adamant opposition to the worldwide nonproliferation treaty proposed by Washington and Moscow plays on the widespread German resentment of big-power Diktats. His rejection of a unilateral legal attack on the extreme right stems from his instinctive feeling that the German electorate is far more upset by the radicalism of the New Left. His opposition to the abolition of the statute of limitations echoes the feelings...
...curriculum of music conservatories, and he towers too imposingly as an unrivaled craftsman. Polish Composer Krzysztof Penderecki, 35, acknowledges the continuity between Bach and his own St. Luke Passion (1966) by spelling out the master's name in a recurring cantus firmus: B flat, A, C, H (the German notation for B natural). Used by Bach himself in The Art of Fugue, the motif is a traditional tribute that has been paid by composers as diverse as Schumann, Liszt and Webern...
