Beethoven: Christ on the Mount of Olives (Jan Peerce, Maria Stader and Otto Wiener, soloists; the Vienna Academy Chorus and State Opera Orchestra conducted by Hermann Scherchen; Westminster). Put a few dozen voices anywhere under a choral director and they're apt to belt out the rousing final chorus of this oratorio; but its starkly eloquent arias are seldom heard. Singing Beethoven's Jesus, Tenor Peerce builds to a marvelous anguish, which unfortunately tends to increase when he is coping with high notes...
...century master Igor Stravinsky conducts his own Petrouchka suite, the Two Little Suites and Scherzo a La Russe. To add the final touch of diversity, the New York City Ballet will appear Aug. 6-11, performing two of George Balanchine's latest ballets. The greatest U.S. prima ballerina, Maria Tallchief, has just rejoined the company. ∙ASPEN (June 26-Aug. 25) is the headiest of the festivals. To begin with, it is 7,900 ft. above sea level amid Colorado's breathtaking Rocky Mountain scenery. The nine-week music festival runs in tandem with the skull-stretching...
Surprises All Around. That was stretching it some. Violence and confusion have been the country's unhappy lot ever since the military toppled Arturo Frondizi 16 months ago and installed Puppet President José Maria Guido in his place. As the once prosperous land of grain and meat fell into economic chaos (the cost of living soared 50% last year), the military promised constitutional elections and a return to democracy. But the soldiers could not agree on when to hold elections, or how much democracy to allow the 3,000,000 followers of exiled Dictator Juan...
Impudent Elf. The week was a fine one all round for the U.S., whose amateur tennis fortunes have sunk abysmally low in recent years. Unseeded Billie Jean Moffit, 19, an impudent elf from California, trounced Australia's No. 2-seeded Lesley Turner, Brazil's No. 7-seeded Maria Bueno, and Brit ain's No. 3-seeded Ann Haydon Jones, and found herself playing Australia's top-seeded Margaret Smith in the women's finals. Not bad for a girl who could hardly see her own racket without her glasses on. No matter what happened next...
...boss's daughter in 1953 after six years of off-again-on-again courtship. Says Shriver: "She's a hard person to sell-tough as her father." They settled down in a 14-room duplex in Chicago, produced three bright-eyed kids (Robert Sargent III, 9; Maria, 7; and Timothy, 3). Shriver got deeply involved in civic affairs-as a good Kennedy in-law would-including five years on the Chicago board of education. He resigned from the Merchandise Mart, got a generous separation settlement from his father-in-law, took his Peace Corps position for a dollar...
