Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (Birgit Nilsson, Fritz Uhl, Regina Resnik, Tom Krause; the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Georg Sold; London, 5 LPs). This first complete recording of the opera in stereo comes close to equaling London's celebrated stereo recording of Das Rheingold. The sound of the orchestra is glowing and massive, and Nilsson's voice soaring through it and over it is a delight. For those anxious to peek behind the scenes, London has included a bonus recording of a rehearsal explaining how it was done...

Well-fed Belgians, the tails of their sports shirts hanging over their khaki shorts, clogged the noisy Manhattan Bar at Leopoldville's Hotel Regina, and diners at the Sabena guest house could still enjoy coquilles St. Jacques, snails and mussels flown in from Brussels. With the flood of U.N. soldiers in town, the souvenir business was bigger than ever; on every street corner, the inevitable Hausa traders from Nigeria offered carved ivory, lizard handbags and ebony figures at prices tailored to the foreigners' handsome wages...

...Armstrong goes right up into the controversial Junior Amateur hockey leagues to recruit players. A native of Regina, Saskatchewan, the 45-year old Armstrong believes that "There is no question about it, the Canadian is a better hockey player than the American.

Junior A teams are not just over-grown park league teams. Armstrong said that a single game can draw around 5,000 fans in Regina, 7,000 in Edmunton, and up to 8,000 in Winnipeg. Many players pass up juvenile hockey and begin playing Junior A at the age of 16, as did Denver's Captain Bill Masterton and most of his teammates...

Strauss: Die Fledermaus (Hilde Gueden, Erika Köth, Regina Resnik, Giuseppe Zampiere; the Vienna Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan; London, 3 LPs). This otherwise fine recording of the imperishable operetta classic offers a strange side effect. One moment, the listener is tapping his feet to the most tap-pable of old Viennese waltzes; the next, he is caught up in the English rhymes of I Could Have Danced All Night, sung by Birgit Nilsson, of all people, in ponderous and chesty style. In the midst of the second act party scene, the producers have inserted anachronistic "entertainments" sung...
