QUARTET FOR FLUTE AND STRINGS, K. 285; QUARTET FOR OBOE AND STRINGS, K. 370; QUINTET FOR HORN AND STRINGS, K. 407 (Telefunken). This new recording of some seldom heard but thoroughly charming Mozart is ably presented by the Strauss Quartet, a group of young German instrumentalists, and three agile collaborators. Particularly outstanding is Hermann Baumann's dazzling horn playing in the quintet; he seems to be daunted neither by enormous leaps nor precipitous scales and ornaments...
REQUIEM, K. 626 (Telefunken). Mozart's liturgical music is tricky to interpret. But Karl Richter, an organist and harpsichordist as well as conductor, creates a performance that combines operatic grandeur in the Dies Irae with the religious awe attending death that is heralded by the sepulchral drumbeats at the close of the Agnus Dei. The four first-class soloists (Maria Stader, soprano; Hertha Töpper, alto; John van Kesteren, tenor; Karl-Christian Kohn, bass) enter into the spirit of their conductor's classical conception: they never struggle to achieve Wagnerian eminence of tone but modestly blend into...
...million contract for construction of the dam has been awarded to an international consortium led by the Oppenheimer's huge Anglo American Corp. of South Africa. The group also includes Siemens and Telefunken of West Germany, Compagnie de Constructions Internationales of France, plus Swedish and South African firms.* Financing will be entirely through foreign credits and loans arranged by the consortium. Part of the money will be spent on a new seaport at Cuama, on the Indian Ocean at the mouth of the Zambezi, which will be capable of handling 40,000-ton freighters. More millions will go toward...
...hopes to triple the volume of Berlin-Soviet trade this year, and Moscow's festival is sure to help. But though Berlin's fashion industry has made the biggest eastward strides, the city's Siemens and Telefunken electronics plants, its razor-blade factories and other industries are also sending salesmen behind the Iron Curtain. Last month East Germany ordered 1,500 railroad cars and $12.5 million worth of cable from West Berlin; the city in turn bought milk from nearby East German state farms, despite vehement objections from West Germany's powerful farmers' union...
...memory device in each set (see diagram). The system is made by Compagnie Francaise de Télévision, which is owned fifty-fifty by glassmaking Saint-Gobain and C.S.F., France's largest electronics manufacturer. Germany's "PAL" (for phase alternating line) system, made by Telefunken, is an embellishment of the U.S. version; it sends every other color signal in its reverse shade and relies on a complex receiver to unscramble the signals...
