...Watch, opened offices in Moscow last year. Paramount and Disney are kicking the tires. And Sony, through its Columbia Tristar division, joined with several American investors last year to form Monumental Pictures, which is producing Russian-language movies for the domestic market. Monumental's general director, Paul Heth, an American, built the first Western-style cinemas in Russia. He and his business partner, Shari Redstone, the daughter of Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone, have watched Russian movies begin to reclaim their own territory. Hollywood films still rule Russian theaters, but a Russian movie has claimed the top spot at the national...
Quality in domestic cinema is gradually reasserting itself. "There was a time when scriptwriting in Russia went away because there were no features," says Heth.

Moving south, Barth paused on a battlefield near Richmond. Va., raised a century-old Yankee...
...chorus got off to a ragged start. The section of Lassus's Lamentations of Jeremiah which it sang may be more suited to this large chorus than the Tallis setting which we heard last year, but the group did not give the important Greek letters Heth, Teth and Jod the great, impersonal majesty they must have. Part of the trouble lay with the women's weakness and faulty pitch; otherwise the chorus gave the Latin text an admirable portrayal. But because the closing Jerusalem did not reach the massiveness it needs, its contrasting somber ending had little finality...
