...plucked young American Leonard Slatkin from New Orleans. San Francisco selected Edo de Waart from Rotterdam, after Seiji Ozawa relinquished that post to concentrate on his other job in Boston. Minnesota has grabbed two top Europeans: Britain's Neville Marriner as music director and Germany's Klaus Tennstedt as principal guest conductor. Los Angeles is easily the high roller in the game. It has captured Carlo Maria Giulini, 64, an Italian who is considered a master among maestros-but after having lost Zubin Mehta, 42, to New York...
...Neville Marriner, 54, and Klaus Tennstedt, 52. Minnesota is lucky. It has landed two men who have gained formidable international reputations in a relatively brief time. Marriner, conductor of London's Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields chamber orchestra, has "charm and wit and intellect," says one London observer. His 200 recordings, many of Baroque music, have pleasingly brisk tempi and a gay, intimate sound. As music director, Marriner will bring his favorite Haydn and Mozart to Minnesota; his weakness may well be that specialized repertoire. But, says he, "if you want to have any impact as musical...
Three years ago, Groenewold, now 40, and two other radical lawyers, Klaus Croissant, 48, and Hans-Christian Ströbele, 38, were expelled by the court from the trial of the four "hardcore" Baader-Meinhof leaders on the "urgent suspicion" that they had collaborated with their clients to frustrate justice and commit further criminal acts. They were charged with creating an "information system" among the imprisoned terrorists and their adherents on the outside, and with coordinating a prison hunger strike. The information they were said to have passed to their jailed clients included treatises on guerrilla warfare, instructions on weapons...
...another in which all the actors were dwarfs, and a third in which the leading character, an old woman, was both deaf and blind. His best work, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), might serve as a metaphor for the whole German school. Aguirre, a Spanish conquistador played by Klaus Kinski, revolts against the crown and attempts to build a new empire in the jungles of Peru. The film, a kaleidoscope of the fabulous and the bizarre, would be noteworthy even if it stopped after the first riveting scene: 50 or so Spaniards, in armor and heavy battle gear, slowly...
...three years, the Krupp Foundation Chair in European Studies--endowed by the leading family in the German munitions industry--has remained unfilled. But this week there was an indication that KLAUS HILDEBRAND [left], a prominent expert on Nazi foreign policy, and professor of modern history at the University of Muenster in West Germany, may be moving into the job. Hildebrand confirmed that Dean Rosovsky offered him the chair during a meeting in Cambridge late last month. Although Hildebrand has since flown back to Germany and Dean Rosovsky has refused to comment on the matter, it seems likely that the professor...
