SYMPHONY NO. 5, BRUNO WALTER AND THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC and KINDERTOTENLIEDER, KATHLEEN FERRIER WITH WALTER AND THE VIENNA PHILHARMONIC (Odyssey, two LPs). 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...
...Opus 109, Shure was careful to clarify every counter-voice, phrase-grouping, and point of articulation. This had the regrettable effect of making Schubert's structural joinings even more obvious than they are. Shure took the piece too seriously, not leaving room for enough of that Vienese Gemutlich and Empfindsamkeit that are Schubert, special charms. Shure's performance had plenty of pianissimo but not enough sparkle...

Little Paul, who later remembered encountering the conception of the Infinite at the age of eight, decided at 16 that philosophy was his field and the Evangelical Lutheran ministry was the gateway...
...filming of a TV commercial-a hilarious sequence in which the Hertz man is catapulted out of limbo and lands everywhere but in the driver's seat. The person who does land with solid comic authority in this otherwise tiresome and familiar romp is Actress Schneider, the gemutlich Viennese sex kitten who has purred beguilingly through more pretentious trifles, such as The Victors, The Cardinal and Boccaccio '70. But Lemmon, though adroit as always, is now well along toward proving that the most gifted of farceurs cannot build a really distinguished career simply by explaining, in film after...
Sometimes the show passes that point. On one sequence during each broadcast. Funt shares his "aggravating" chores with a guest celebrity-Yogi Berra has served as a lost-ball-peddling golf caddy, Jonathan Winters as a customer-baiting complaint-department manager, and Host Godfrey as a gemutlich Good Humor man. As Funt points out: "We try for familiar frustration; anything we do in a complaint office or a tax bureau-we're in velvet...
