Songs by Hugo Wolf (Seraphim; $2.98). A single LP made from off-the-air tapes of one of Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's finest and most famous hours as a lieder singer- her recital in the Salzburg Mozarteum on Aug. 12, 1953. Words and melody blend the way they do partly because of her eminent piano accompanist, Wilhelm Furtwangler, who on this record plays the way he usually conducted: rounding phrases majestically, seeing to it that voice and instrument are blended perfectly...
...oriented sales and packaging concepts to the company's Red Seal line. An engagingly brash, native New Yorker who got his start 22 years ago as a clerk in a Manhattan discount-record store, Munves approached Artur Rubinstein with the idea of a Rubinstein's greatest-hits LP. "You are a vampire," said the pianist, and refused. But Rubinstein did go along with a reassemblage of old items called The Chopin I Love. This month, Munves brought out eleven LPs in a new "Composers' Greatest Hits" series. One of the albums was devoted to Gustav Mahler, neatly...
...monstrous red tongue coils sadistically from the label of a new rock LP called Sticky Fingers. On the jacket, the waist-to-thigh portion of a man's jeans has been caught in a moment of rakish nonchalance. In the appropriate place, a working four-inch zipper hangs invitingly. Beneath the zipper lies another waist-to-thigh photograph, this one naked save for a pair of white jockey shorts and bearing the logotype of the noted dispose-all artist, Andy Warhol (see ART). As a record-store attraction, the album is positively too dreadful to ignore...
...best rock band, despite their politics, (Besides, no rock group has good politics as yet, so it is somewhat silly to rate them on that standard.) And Sticky Fingers, which has the first new Stones songs to be released in a year and a half, is a great LP, probably better than Let It Bleed or Get Your...
...copies of some of the choicest antiques under the His Masters Voice label; they will press directly from the original master records and will bow to modernity only by using vinyl instead of the oldfashioned, noisy-surfaced shellac. The idea has more than mere nostalgia to recommend it. Most LP transfers of 78 material change and degrade the original sound. But the new old 78s will have both unfiltered high frequencies and unrumbled lows. Hardly comparable to the sound of the LP era, they nevertheless restore a forgotten adequacy of the sonic -and artistic-achievements of the past...
