THEATER

YOU KNOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER'S RUNNING. In four playlets, Robert Anderson proves again that sex, taken so seriously by most of mankind, is one of the more hilarious aspects of life. Actors Martin Balsam, Eileen Heckart and George Grizzard keep the fun rolling.

BLACK COMEDY. The suspense of whether the characters in Peter Shaffer's comedy will hit or miss in the dark is the mainspring of this merry-go-round. Michael Crawford and Geraldine Page lead the gymnastics.

THE HOMECOMING. When the eldest son brings his wife to the womanless house of his family, the situation is set for a clash--between his youth and his father's age, his intellectualism and his father's brute force, the claims of his children on his wife and the claims of his brothers. Peter Hall directs members of the Royal Shakespeare Company in a tightly orchestrated performance.

RECORDS

Choral & Song

STOCKHAUSEN: MOMENTE (Nonesuch). Karlheinz Stockhausen, the loudest noise in German electronic music, temporarily puts aside his tape recorder for something a bit--but just a bit--less far out. This time he turns on Soprano Martina Arroyo, backed by 13 instrumentalists and four choral groups equipped with sticks and boxes. The resulting hour-long piece is wild stuff all right; at times it sounds like a crowd clapping and hissing at a madwoman who jabbers and trills like a bird. The accompanying explanatory notes, formulas and diagrams are most scholarly.

MAHLER: DAS LIED VON DER ERDE. This melancholy masterpiece, a symphonic setting for ancient Chinese poems at once contemplating the twilight of life and poignantly recalling its pleasures, has appeared in three new interpretations, each worth considering.

Leonard Bernstein, in a guest appearance with the Vienna Philharmonic (London), gives a turbulent interpretation that shows his affinity for Mahler. But Tenor James King sounds a bit forced, and the second soloist is a baritone instead of the usual, complementary mezzo-soprano. However, that baritone is Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and his 30-minute Farewell is a perfect fusion of poetry and song.

Otto Klemperer's version, with the Philharmonia and New Philharmonia orchestras (Angel; 2 LPs), has superb soloists, Mezzo-Soprano Christa Ludwig and Tenor Fritz Wunderlich, whose promise was cut short by his accidental death last summer at 35. The orchestra sounds wonderfully clear and portentous, as though this were the last music to be played on the day of doom. Although Klemperer's playing time is actually shorter than Bernstein's, Angel chose to record the piece on three LP sides, filling the fourth with five Mahler songs.

Eugene Ormandy, with the Philadelphia Orchestra (Columbia), provides neither the intimacy of Bernstein nor the clarity of Klemperer; instead, he produces a brilliant, brassily dramatic sweep of his own, on which he carries his rich-voiced but not exceptional singers, Lili Chookasian and Richard Lewis.

COPLAND: TWELVE POEMS OF EMILY DICKINSON (CBS). Copland's song cycle deals with the same subjects as Mahler's Das Lied: love, death, nature. But there are no romantic mists to invite reverie in Dickinson's crystalline verses, and Copland's music shades from an impressionistic to a literal approach. Macabre chords open the song I Felt a Funeral in My Brain; a fast-rising whir of melody introduces the line "There came a Wind like a Bugle." Sung by Soprano Adele Addison with the composer at the piano.

HANDEL: THE MESSIAH (Angel; 3 LPs). There are fine readings of Handel's greatest work for every taste, most recently the beautifully sung, small-scale version conducted by Colin Davis, who scrupulously observed the spirit of baroque musical convention. Nevertheless, this newest entry is even more faithful to the composer and serves as a good introduction to the sensitive baton of Charles Mackerass, an Australian-trained conductor steeped in 18th century lore. His soloists (including Janet Baker and Elizabeth Harwood) do not equal those of the Davis recording; but this is a wonderfully stirring performance, astringent with a heavy complement of woodwinds as in Handel's day and jubilant rather than reverent.

CINEMA

A GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN. An illuminated lecture on How to Commit Adultery, flawlessly directed by Gene Kelly and starring Walter Matthau, who handsomely underplays the male norm pondering the female form.

THE WAR GAME. A short (47 min.), grainy, neorealistic film about what would happen if the Bomb were dropped on England.

THE HONEY POT. Writer-Director Joseph Mankiewicz has modernized Ben Jonson's wryly wily miser, Volpone, for the contemporary talents of Rex Harrison, and makes up in witty dialogue what he loses in indecisive wavering between comedy and suspense.

MADE IN ITALY. An assortment of scenes--some merely gentle sketches, some with stings in their tales--that portray modern-day Italy and the Italians. Nanni Loy (Four Days of Naples) directs a fine cast that includes Anna Magnani, Alberto Sordi, Virna Lisi and Catherine Spaak.

TWO FOR THE ROAD. Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney flash backwards and forwards on a twelve-year marital fray-for-all neatly scripted by Frederic Raphael (Darling) and cleverly directed by Stanley Donen (Charade).

CASINO ROYALE. David Niven, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen, Joanna Pettit and Ursula Andress are all Bonds of one sort or another in this overblown 007 spoof with more herds than scenes.

BOOKS

Best Reading

SNOW WHITE, by Donald Barthelme. A zany, explosive adult version of the old fairy tale, told with Joycean zest by a gifted young (36) anarchist in the world of words.
