...representative but unhackneyed selection of 16 early, 17 middle and 18 late sonatas (though all were published after Scarlatti was 54). The pieces, paired like Bach's preludes and fugues, are miniature marvels-many with a flamenco flavor-and Fuller dashes them off with robust energy and vivid coloration. His interpretations, however, lack the poetry and variety that Fernando Valenti brings to Scarlatti. Valenti has recorded 29 LPs (346 sonatas), most of which are available on Westminster...
...film's contained bitterness rises in the last half hour, when the story of the 1943 Warsaw ghetto uprising is told with vivid battleground photography. The ghetto was supposed to have been destroyed within a 24-hour period, in time for Hitler's birthday on April 20. Instead, its prisoners held out against the Germans for 42 days, without the support-perhaps air-dropped medical supplies-that, the filmmakers contend, the hard-pressed Allies could have given...

...permit the return of Otto Habsburg, pretender to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and restore to him part of the family's nationalized fortunes. The Socialists have vehemently blocked Otto's reentry, to the vast relief of a great many Austrians who recall the empire with a vivid mixture of nostalgia and Angst. So powerful an issue is the long-dead monarchy that the campaign has even been enlivened by a Dusseldorf human-relations counselor, Dr. Theodor Rudolf Pachmann, who last month petitioned for recognition as the only legitimate heir of Emperor Franz Josef. His ground: that his father...
Where Pasolini fails, and it is a substantial failure, is in the inability to match his vivid re-creation of a place and time with an equally fresh portrait of Jesus. Christ sheds the mantle of soulful martyr but still seems no more than a fierce embodiment of divine purpose, as stiff and one-dimensional as those who have gone before. The movie sags at the center, weighed down by interminable closeups and sermons. The sound track swells with passages from Bach, Mozart, Prokofiev, Webern, an African Mass and-as an odd counterpoint to the Nativity-Odetta's recording...
