RECORDS

What to Buy in Europe One tourist pleasure many Americans overlook is buying phonograph records in Europe. The selection is enormous; prices, while higher, are not prohibitive, and there is something to satisfy just about every taste. In the middle ground between classical music and rock 'n' roll, both of which abound in European record stores, are Portuguese fados, Neapolitan tenors, Scots pipers, Spanish flamencos, German beer songs, French chanteuses, Welsh miners, nightclub and music-hall performers, tin ny little village bands and Tyrolean yodelers. There are even some familiar U.S. singers (and songs) in unfamiliar languages.

France

BARBARA (Philips). France's most popular new chanteuse has an intimate night-clubby voice that seems never to breathe. She plays her own piano, writes her own songs, including, on this LP, Goettingen, her greatest hit.

JEANNE MOREAU (Pathe). On this older record (Grand Prix International du Disque 1964--but still in print), Jeanne, with her clear, childlike voice, sings the folksy songs of Cyrus Bassiak.

13 VALSES DE LA BELLE EPOQUE (Pathe). A nostalgically sweet rendering of songs like Fascination by Mathe Altery.

CHANTS DES MAQUIS DU VIET-NAM (Le Chant du Monde). A far-out folk disk recorded under fire.

CHANSONS GAILLARDES (Vogue). Frenchmen have been writing naughty lyrics since the dawn of civilization, and Colette Reynard here sings some of the most memorable ones, beginning with the 17th century.

LES BELLES ANNEES DU MUSIC-HALL (Pathe). An overwhelming series of reissues on 10-in. LPs of many of the great performers of the past.

MIREILLE MATHIEU (Barclay). She's 19 years old and sounds like Piaf.

BONTEMPELLI (Pathe). Guy Bontempelli was almost completely unknown even in France until he won the 1966 Grand Prix du Disque. He is more Trenet than Aznavour and has considerable charm.

Germany DIE SCHAUMBURGER MAeRCHENSAeNGER SINGEN DEUTSCHE VOLKSLIEDER (Hoer Zu).

A charming children's choir sings an al bum of popular German folk music.

MY FAIR LADY (Philips). The original-cast recording of the Berlin production is the best of the myriad foreign Lady recordings. The playing of Fritz Loewe's score puts new emphasis on his Viennese origins, and the German lyrics stay so close to the all-too-familiar English ones that the listener can understand them. It's straight down der Strasse wo du lebst.

ANNIE SCHIESS LOS (Philips). Another good German-cast album--Annie Get Your Luger.

YES SIR, ZARAH LEANDER (Ariola). A baritony fraulein from the days of the Third Reich sings the German popular music of the '30s and '40s--a fascinating slice of the past.

DAS GROSSE HAMBURGER HAFENKONZERT (Polydor). Three LPs of harbor concerts from the port of Hamburg complete with gulls, ships' horns, and a seaworthy selection of North German songs.

DER BLAUE ENGEL (Electrola). A 45-r.p.m. reissue of Marlene Dietrich singing her Blue Angel songs.

DU LAeSST DICH GEH'N (Metronome). France's Charles Aznavour sings in German--and very well too.

Austria

GRETA KELLER ZWISCHEN NEW YORK UNO WIEN (Preiser). Imperishable lovers of the imperishable Greta Keller, 60, will swoon over this album of her Theater an der Wien concert last fall. She sings everything from Wienerschnitzel to Broadway-tor te.

ZWISCHEN INNSBRUCK UNO KUFSTEIN (Amadeo). Yodels and other Alpine noises.

Czechoslovakia

KAREL GOTT (Supraphon). A pleasant assortment of popular, musical-comedy and rock-'n'-roll songs sung by Karel Gott, a sort of young Frantisek Czinatra.

CINEMA

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 sympathetic trick ending flaws Director Fielder Cook's shrewd blending of hot hands and ham instincts.

THE NAKED PREY. A desperate white hunter (Cornel Wilde) flees ten man-killing native hunters, giving fierce momentum to a classic African adventure drama that never stints on beauty, blood or savagery.

"THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING." The best thing about this cold war comedy is Broadway's Alan Arkin (Luv), giving a hilarious impersonation of a Red-roving Soviet sailor whose submarine is beached on a tight little island off the New England coast.

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 from boyhood to manhood on a sheep ranch in the Southwest.

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. Living among lions and looking as though they love it, Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers add zest to a dandy movie based on Joy Adamson's bestseller about her rambunctious house pet, Elsa.

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

THE SHOP ON MAIN STREET. Cast by the Nazis as persecutor of a helpless old Jewish shopkeeper (Ida Kaminska), a seriocomic Aryan nonentity (Josef Kroner) struggles against moral bankruptcy in a fine Czechoslovakian drama that reduces the march of history to events on a pathetically human scale.

BOOKS

Best Reading

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 the century's most powerful and most frightening examples of the poetry of psychosis.

THE LAST GENTLEMAN, by Walker Percy. In this chaste and witty fable, Walker Percy surpasses his earlier achievement in The Moviegoer, and tells how a bright, likable young Southerner settles up with his idealism by settling down to ordinary life.

1066: THE STORY OF A YEAR, by Denis Butler. In the 900th anniversary year of the Norman invasion, Author Butler memorably measures the price of Hastings in terms of the man who died there (Harold of England) and the man who survived to wear the crown (William the Conqueror).

EARTHLY PARADISE, by Colette, edited by Robert Phelps. From random reminiscences that Colette published from time to time, Editor Phelps has skillfully constructed a sort of accidental biography that reveals her as the most extraordinary character in her oeuvre.

SELECTED POEMS, by Eugenic Montale. Poet Montale has been called "the Italian Eliot," and this first volume of his verse to appear in translation in the U.S. shows that readers have been missing a writer of importance, indisputably the most profound Italian poet of this century.

ON AGGRESSION, by Konrad Lorenz. In this fascinating natural history of violence, a celebrated Austrian naturalist traces the all-too-human passion of aggression to its roots in the lower phyla and finds there an inherent (and hopefully inherited) capacity to transform aggression into love.
