...instrument, the French horn lacks the innate variety of the piano or violin. That is a fact to be noted, then forgotten, while listening to this ravishing LP. Tuckwell plays the concertos as though they were as emphatically profound as anything Mozart ever wrote-which in the case of Nos. 3 (K. 447) and 4 (K. 495) is not too far from the truth...
...contrast, there has been a crackdown on striptease in Hungary, which had been far more permissive than East Germany. One reason for the restraint was Party Leader János Kádár's fear that too much emulation of Western ways might provoke the Russians, who then might interfere with Hungary's pioneering economic reforms, which feature some capitalist-style incentives. There also has been a crackdown in Rumania. For years, the Rumanians encouraged stripping as part of the country's receptivity to Western ways. But since last summer, when President Nicolae Ceausescu began...
ALONGSIDE the broad, American-built expressway between Saigon and Bien Hoa, President Nguyen Van Thieu's eager campaign workers have already hung banners emblazoned with Thieu's "Four Nos" slogan-no neutrality, no coalition government, no concession of any South Vietnamese territory to the Communists, no Communist activity anywhere in South Viet Nam. Thieu might as well have added a Fifth No: no opposition in the presidential campaigns...

Six testaments to the delectable creations in which Mozart not only prophesied the symphonic era that followed him but very nearly said the last word on the subject. Von Karajan's distinctive blend of rich phrase and richer orchestral sonority customarily works well. But this time he seems surprisingly nonchalant. His drowsy Jupiter, for instance, might better be called Saturn. The best set of these symphonies remains Otto Klemperer's (also on An gel), and- for crisp, detail-laden...
...Complete Symphonies of Haydn Volume I (Nos. 65-72) .Volume II (Nos. 57-64) (London Stereo Treasury, 4 LPs each; $11.92 a set). Many a record company has set out, intending to offer Haydn's complete this or that, only to founder along the way. With 88 more symphonies to go, London deserves approval and support. In these largely unknown middle-period symphonies played by Antal Dorati and the Philharmonia Hungarica, Haydn's mind is always fascinating to follow, even though he is not yet the sovereign master of symphonic repartee revealed in later works like the Oxford...
