...sextet that serves as an overture; the delicately interlaced trio in which Musician, Poet and Countess comment on the Poet's sonnet; the Countess' hushed mirror monologue at the close, with its spun-silver vocal tracery. The performers-notably sopranos Elizabeth Schwarzkopf and Anna Moffo, baritones Hans Hotter and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau-sing superbly under Conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch. In its flashing orchestral coloration and its soaring vocal lines, Capriccio is an echo of some of the great works of Strauss's youth. At its dress rehearsal the 78-year-old composer said to a friend...
...free oxygen. Radio waves, which penetrate the murky atmosphere, hint that the temperature of the invisible surface is something like 500° F., which is much too high for the earth's kinds of life. Venus rotates only once in several weeks, making the sunlit side much hotter than the dark side, and causing violent storms that sweep perpetually over its hot, dry deserts...

"The doctrine of historic episcopacy is contrary to the plain warrant of Scripture," cried Theologian C. Kingsley Barrett of Durham University. "We must...
Orff: Der Mond (Rudolf Christ, Hans Hotter, Karl Schmitt-Walter, Helmut Graml, Paul Kuèn, Peter Lagger; the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch; Angel, 2 LPs). German Composer Carl Orff's second opera (1938) is a modern retread of the Grimm fairy tale about four villagers who steal the moon from neighbors, carry it to their graves, finally lose it to St. Peter, who hangs it in the sky to light "the men who still wait in the little garden of the earth."
