VLADIMIR HOROWITZ (2 LPs; Columbia) gave his first recital in a dozen years last May 9 at Carnegie Hall; this is a recording of that long-awaited performance.

Early one morning, after a show at Ciro's in Paris, Ross and some friends set out by car for a tour of the French countryside. As luck would have it, the car ran out of gas alongside a suburban golf course -so Sobel played his first round dressed in tails and patent leather shoes. Within four years he was good enough to attract the attention of the Maharajah of Cooch Behar, who was looking for somebody to design him a golf...
