MOZART: PIANO CONCERTOS VOL. 1 (3 LPs; Epic). The Hungarian-born Mozart specialist Lili Kraus plans to record all the piano concertos, Mozart's crowning achievements in instrumental music. She has begun with Nos. 12, 18, 20, 23, 24 and 26, all written after Mozart, renowned as Austria's greatest pianist, moved to Vienna. His playing was famed for its singing touch and exquisite taste. Eschewing broad contrasts and romantic rubato, Miss Kraus emulates the 18th century master...

Though Wieland is still considered an "irreverent traitor" by oldtimers, he is venerated by all who work for him. Says Contralto Lili Chookasian, who sang Erda in Rheingold: "I would do anything for him. Why, I even took a curtain call wearing that black leather costume that opened up to display two enormous leather breasts with threeinch nipples. And I didn't even blush...
