BELLINI: NORMA (London; 2 LPs). Bellini's sylvan tragedy is rarely heard onstage, for since Giuditta Pasta introduced it in 1831, only a handful of sopranos have felt equal to the task of impersonating one of the most complex, heroic and appealing roles in opera. The latest soprano in the noble line of Normas is blonde Greek-Argentine Elena Suliotis, 25, who makes the role's demands sound like a cinch. But to entice those who already own the superb Callas Norma, or Sutherland's less successful try, London has reduced this album's price...

But now, a decade after his second call to service, France is caught up in almost as much chaos as?and perhaps more than?when De Gaulle came to power in 1958. The question is, Can De Gaulle once...
...This piece was begun on April 4, 8 a.m. and completed April 4, 7 p.m.," because Wiley was making it on the day that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot. Recalls the artist: "I didn't think of the black and white as racial, but when I heard about King being shot, it suddenly seemed relevant-the rickety structure, the black friction tape, the white mess." Through his almost accidental and homely memorial, Wiley sardonically reminds his viewers that chance and blind illogic play roles in art as well as in life...
