...half sound that has been sent through an amplification-echo chamber system. There are also four female vocalists in the orchestra pit, who blend their harmonic flights of wordless sound into the instrumentation--and the whole thing is controlled from the back of the theatre with an eleven-channel stereo console...
...black mother in the sky," Hef calls it. A regular DC-9 jetliner can carry 115 passengers; Hefner's will seat 50 and sleep 15-or maybe 16, if there are two in the elliptical bed in Hef's own compartment. The compartment, which also boasts a stereo console, a movie screen and a step-down Roman bath, is reached through a special entrance in the underside of the plane...

Two more stereo re-channelings of early Walter recordings. The symphony is especially notable for the gemutlich rendition of the adagietto. This is the movement that Leonard Bernstein conducted at Senator Robert F. Kennedy's funeral in Manhattan's St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Kindertotenlieder is one of the last-and one of the best-recordings made by English Contralto Kathleen Ferrier before her death...
