BEETHOVEN: SONATA NO. 32 IN C MINOR, OP. 111 (Vanguard). Australian Pianist Bruce Hungerford won critical hurrahs in 1965 when he played five Beethoven sonatas in Carnegie Hall, and the reason is now engraved on vinyl.

Three years ago, at the age of 25, Whiteley established himself in the vanguard of young London painters (TIME, Oct. 9, 1964) with one Baconesque series of 25 paintings, all showing his pretty young wife nude in the bath, plus another series depicting the passionate antics of Sex Murderer John Christie. His latest show at Marlborough New London Gallery is difficult to characterize. Is it expressionist...
