...unhappy stay in the U.S., Dubček was an anti-Nazi partisan during World War II. Since Czechs and ethnic balances are still essential in Czechoslovakia's ruling circles, Premier Jozef Lenárt, another Slovak, will probably be pushed aside for Chief Economic Planner Oldřich Cernik, 44, a Czech who had been generally considered the front runner for Novotn...
...ensemble of 26 singers and 11 instrumentalists performed the cantatas "Der Herr denket an uns" (BWV 196), "Ich bin ein guter Hirt" (BWV 85), "Ihr Menschen, Ruehmet Gottes Liebe" (BWV 167), and the motet "Komm, Jesu, komm" (BWV 229) elegantly and unpretentiously.

She gives La Paloma a relaxed performance, full of a sly, feminine humor; her gypsy songs are sung head-on with open, hearty tones. On the other side. Ich Liebe Dich, Brahms's Lullaby and Songs My Mother Taught Me get serene, tender treatment. Many of these songs have been recorded by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (Angel), with whom De los Angeles shares the title of Queen of Song, but their styles are completely different. De los Angeles is intimate...
