Frank Glazer Plays Musical Autographs (Concert-Disc). The musical calling cards of the great composers as they were inscribed in various souvenir albums. Included are Mozart's Marche Funebre del Signor Maestro Contrapunto (Funeral March of Master Counterpoint), a mock-heroic exercise for his pupil, Babette Ployer; Beethoven's graceful and pensive Bagatelle for Therese Malfatti, the 18-year-old niece of his doctor; Wagner's Ankunft bei den Schwarzen Schwänen (Arrival at the Black Swans), which sounds a little like Tristan und Isolde as written by Frédéric Chopin...
President Kennedy will still have hefty Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, plus that skilled legislative maestro, Lyndon Johnson, to help out on Capitol Hill, but Kennedy is likely to find that the old conservative coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats can muster enough votes to keep him from marching toward the New Frontier very fast-and perhaps that is the way the voters intended...

Pages call the audience to attention with handbells, and all performers dress in genuine period costumes. Leading Drottningholm's orchestra with crackling vitality in last week's II Maestro and II Barbiere, Conductor Bertil Bokstedt was resplendent in the silk robe of an 18th century courtier. Onstage, Sweden's gifted young singers-Soprano Karin Langebo, Tenors Carl-Axel Hallgren, Arne Ohlson, Uno Stjernquist, and Basso Arne Tyren-wore the periwigs fashionable at the time of Queen Lovisa...
