RECORDS

What to Buy in Europe II/-

Great Britain

ROBERT AND ELIZABETH (His Master's Voice). This hit musical, based on The Barretts of Wimpole Street, has been running in London for two seasons, is due to come to Broadway late this fall. The original cast album is a delight, combining a lyrical score with fine singing and sheer charm.

NOT ONLY PETER COOK . . . BUT ALSO DUDLEY MOORE (Decca). Two of the funny foursome of Beyond the Fringe make dialect ventures into such subjects as an order of leaping nuns and hanging The Laughing Cavalier in the "lav." They are every bit as beyond as ever.

CLEO LAINE-WOMAN TALK (Fontana). Miss Laine is one of England's best song stylists; on this LP she puts her own cool, husky mark on such standards as I Cover the Waterfront and By Myself.

THE INCOMPARABLE GERTRUDE LAWRENCE (Ace of Clubs). Original recordings from the '30s by the unforgettable Gertie. British Decca has other memorable reissues on its Ace of Clubs label, including one of Jack Buchanan and Jessie Matthews.

DOMINIC BEHAN-IRELAND SINGS (Pye). Dominic Behan is no ethnic purist. He collects his folk songs from pubs and distant relations, writing new verses and choruses to fill gaps or just to please himself. The result is fresh, lively, and as richly Irish as a pint of Guinness.

THE SOUND OF SCOTLAND (Pye). For once not a piper passes--just Scottish reels, jigs, quicksteps and hornpipes played by Jim MacLeod and his band.

ROYAL NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF WALES-1964 (His Master's Voice). The Welsh are unsurpassed as choral singers, and the Eisteddfod is a singing and poetry competition that has celebrated that talent since 1176.

DANCE TO THE MORTIER ORGAN (Decca). For mechanical-music enthusiasts, a 112-key, 561-pipe dance organ built before World War II in Antwerp. After years of touring Belgium it came to rest in Norfolk, where it now grinds out such flowery favorites as The Yellow Rose of Texas and Tulips from Amsterdam.

TRAMWAY SOUNDS (Argo). Car No. 502 (Roberts body, Malsey & Tauton type 588 truck with a 9-ft. wheelbase) clanks through Sheffield on one side of this 45 r.p.m.; the flip side has various types of Glasgow tramcars negotiating points and crossings in Argyle Street in January 1958.

Italy

CIAO, RUDY (RCA Italiana). The original cast album of Rome's recent musical comedy based on the life of Rudolf Valentino, in which Marcello Mastroianni played (and actually sang) the part of the Latin Lover.

I POSTEGGIATORE Dl NAPOLI (Ricordi). The Wandering Musicians of Naples is just that--a collection of the most popular local restaurant singers, a kind of pasta pasticcio.

ROMA MIA (Ricordi). Lando Fiorini, who starred on Broadway in Rugantino, sings Roman restaurant favorites.

'A CANZONE 'E NAPULE (La Voce del Padrone). The Song of Naples sung by the late great tenor Beniamino Gigli--a reissue.

LE CANZONI Dl TITO SCHIPA (La Voce del Padrone). Another fine reissue of standards sung by a great Italian tenor out of the past.

LA MESSA DEI GIOVANI (Ariel). The Mass of the Young is about as far out as an LP can get. Three big-beat groups sing an entire Mass accompanied by electric guitars. The Latins call it the Messa Ye Ye, and it had its world premiere April 27 in a Rome church while youngsters frugged in the aisles and priests clapped hands.

Portugal

SEMPRE QUE LISBOA CANTA (Columbia). Each Time Lisbon Sings, a 10-in. LP fado sampler sung by Carlos Ramos (Lisbon's most popular male fadista), Augusto Camacho (a professor who specializes in the Coimbra fado of university students), Maria de Lourdes Machado and the internationally famous Amalia Rodrigues.

MARIA TERESA DE NORONHA (Columbia). Considered the best female fadista in Portugal after Amalia, Maria Teresa de Noronha was the first to revive the old, aristocratic fado. She is a countess, performs only at charity events and on TV.

POPFADO (Philips). Fado with a modern beat, sung by Maria de Fe, 24.

Spain

ANTOLOGIA DEL CANTE FLAMENCO (Hispavox). This box of three 10-in. LPs won a Grand Prix de 1'Academie Franc,aise du Disque, and is a serious effort to chronicle and preserve the various traditional flamenco styles. It comes with a detailed history and commentary in Spanish, French and English.

Poland

SLASK (MUZA). The Polish Song and Dance Ensemble sings songs of Silesia (Slask).

EWA DEMARCZYK (MUZA). A 45 r.p.m. of Miss Demarczyk, who is a chansonist of the Cracow Cave Group, singing songs of an "intellectual type" such as Karuzela z Madonnami (The Merry-Go-Round with Madonnas).

CINEMA

WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? Edward Albee's drama about a venomous all-night orgy on faculty row has reached the screen with every four-letter word intact. And Elizabeth Taylor, playing bitch-wife to Richard Burton's hagridden husband, proves that there is powerhouse talent on both sides of the family.

A BIG HAND FOR THE LITTLE LADY. Henry Fonda, Joanne Woodward and Jason Robards head the cast of a rowdy indoor western about a high-stakes poker session. Only a trick ending flaws Director Fielder Cook's shrewd blending of hot hands and ham instincts.

THE NAKED PREY. Man hunting in Africa a long dark century ago, with resourceful Director-Star Cornel Wilde as the sole survivor of an ill-fated safari, who becomes fair game for savage warriors.

AND NOW MIGUEL. Producer Robert Radnitz (Misty, Island of the Blue Dolphins) scores again with the sturdy tale of a Mexican-American lad (Pat Cardi) growing up on a sheep ranch.

LE BONHEUR. Young love and marriage prove to be mixed blessings in French Director Agnes Varda's cynical fable of infidelity, superficially as pastel and pretty as a Renoir painting.

BORN FREE. A sociable lioness named Elsa is as winning on the screen as she was in Joy Adamson's celebrated animal biography.

MANDRAGOLA. A cool Renaissance beauty (Rosanna Schiaffino) defends her virtue to the next-to-last gasp but turns out to be a good loser in Italian Director Alberto Lattuada's lively version of Machiavelli's comedy.

MORGAN! Black comedy in the new British mode, with Vanessa Redgrave as a madcap London socialite and David Warner as her former husband who changes reality around to suit himself.

DEAR JOHN. The subjects of this perceptive essay on sex in Sweden are a sailor and a girl who spend a weekend learning that there is more to their relationship than lust at first sight.

THE SHOP ON MAIN STREET. Well deserving of its Oscar, the of best its foreign to film of the year owes much of its Josef Kroner and Ida Kaminska as a couple of harmless villagers who have to work out their own answers to the Jewish question in Nazi-dominated Czechoslovakia.

BOOKS

Best Reading

JAMES BOSWELL: THE EARLIER YEARS, by Frederick A. Pottle. The man who wrote the first great biography in English becomes himself the subject of one that is rich and delightful.

THE BIG KNOCKOVER, by Dashiell Hammett. These collected early detective stones are every bit as fresh as they were 40 years ago, and demonstrate why the many imitators of Hammett's realistic tough-guy technique are just that --imitators.

THE LAST GENTLEMAN, by Walker Percy. A meditative novel by a meditative Southern novelist, about a young Southerner whose daydreams provide the meaning he cannot find in life.

MR. CLEMENS AND MARK TWAIN, by Justin Kaplan. A new biography that illuminates with scrupulous impartiality and great fidelity the dark side of America's most successful--and most tormented 19th century humorist.

ARIEL, by Sylvia Plath. The last poems of Sylvia Plath, written in the months immediately preceding her suicide in 1963, are among today's most powerful examples of the poetry of psychosis.

SELECTED POEMS, by Eugenic Montale. The light, the colors and the fruits of Italy are evoked by a great modern Italian poet, but his musings on his fellow men are somber. The translations faithfully reflect the poet's spare, luminous language.

EARTHLY PARADISE, by Colette, edited by Robert Phelps. By blending Colette's own reminiscences into a kind of autobiography, Phelps has produced a remarkable word portrait of the big cat of 20th century letters.
