Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 (Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Eugen Jochum conducting; Deutsche Grammophon, 21 sides). Like most of the music of the controversial Viennese master, this mammoth symphony floats along endlessly, passing places of beauty. Performance and recording: good...
Bruckner: Mass In E Minor (Hamburg State Opera Choir and Orchestra, Max Thurn conducting; Capitol-Telefun-ken, 10 sides).

Performance: excellent; recording: fair...
...North Sea, Hamburg seems to wear the glittering smile of West Germany's new prosperity.

...were only one week's catch; as a Communist courier, Chambers had delivered probably thousands of such documents. The secrets were often transmitted in strips of microfilm concealed between the glass and the backing of dimestore hand mirrors, and carried overseas by Communist couriers. Crew members of the Hamburg-American Line helped out; later, after Hitler came to power, the films were sent via the French Line. From 1935 to 1938, Chambers had two sources in the State Department (so far only Hiss has been named publicly). At one point, four "high sources" in Washington were so productive, Chambers...
