Teaching & Money-Raising. Because Oberlin is keyed to the demands of graduate schools, curriculum experiments are few (one enterprising exception: sending the entire junior class of Oberlin's top-ranked Conservatory of Music to study for a year at Salzburg's Mozarteum). A weakness : an almost interminable list of required courses, which tends to prevent a student from exploring deeply any subject except his major. The faculty is well-paid ($4,700-$12,500), deliberately weighted toward men who are good teachers first, publishing scholars second. The result -in addition to excellent teaching - is that while professors respected...
Mozart: La Finta Semplice (Dorothea Siedberg, Edith Oravez.

Shaggy, energetic Conductor Paumgartner first divided Mozart's total output into eight categories, selected works from each as representative of a special genre or period in Mozart's life. The big symphonies are being recorded by Amsterdam's splendid Concertgebouw Orchestra, smaller ones by Paumgartner's own Camerata Academica orchestra; concertos are assigned to Dutch artists, who may be excellent but are rarely the top Mozart specialists. Among Epic's U.S. releases...
...been a Salzburg institution for 40 years. In the 20's he teamed up with Max Reinhardt, Richard Strauss and Poet-Librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal to start the Salzburg Festival. As recording boss Paumgartner showed his capacity for speed as well as scholarship, as he shuttled between his Mozarteum office and the huge reception hall of the 18th 'century Klessheim Castle, where he finds the acoustics ideal for recording. There, wearing black corduroys and sleeveless sweater, he leads his performers through six hours of recording daily. His energy is matched only by his resourcefulness. At one point, dissatisfied...
