VERDI: AIDA : highlights' with BIRGIT N I L S S O N . GRACE HOFFMAN, LOUIS QUIUCO. LUIGI OTTOLINI: orchestra of the ROYAL ORDER HOUSE. COVENT GAR-

JOHN PRITCHARD — LONDON OS-25796/

Pmcipal facets of Verdi's classic tragedy, "Aida," are pre­sented with great beauty on this disc by one of the great sopranos of our day, Birgit Nilsson. with a supporting list of singers of unquestioned merit.

At this point it should be pointed out that John Pritchard's directioii of orchestra and chorus is faithful to Verdi's idea that vm orchestra has a principal, not a supporting role. The instru­mental sound is fulsome and vigorous but never overwhelming to the singers.

After Mme. Nilssoos stirring "Ritoraa Vincitor," she is Joined by Grace Hoffman, the crafty Amneris. in "Fu la aorre deflannl atuoi hmesu" from Act II. Side 1 of the disc is completed by Qui Radames verra," the lovely soliloquy which contains an unforgettable "O patria mia.'*

Aida'i lather. Amonasro (Louis QuiUco). and her lover. Ra­dames (Luigi Ottolini). make their appearance with Mme. Nilssoa on Side 2 which contains "Rivedrai le foreste imbalsamate" and the memorable entombment scene, "La fatal pietra sovra mesi ehiuae."

WEILL-BRECHT THE THREEPENNY OPERA (soundtrack from German film* with CURT JURGENS. HILDEGARD NEFF JUNE RITCHIE. HILDE HILDEBRAND and GERT FROBE • music directed by PETER SANDLOFF-LONDON M-76004.

The saga of the "great unwashed" from time immemorial is spun with telling acidity on this record which represents some of the finest collaborations of Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill.

Based on the tath Century "Beggars Opera," and produced in Germany just before the rise of Hitler, 'Threepenny Opera'

bludgeons the immorality of moral society with scorn so subtle that it becomes bitterly amusing.

Curt Jurgens as Mack the Knife and Hildegard Neff as Bar-Fly Jenny are admirably cast from the vocal standpoint while the other principals, chorus and orchestra perionn with a seal which is spiced with zest.

On the purely instrumental side, Side 2's "Balletic," featuring scampering parts for piccolo and tuba, is well worth the price of the disc.

Lawrence Welk displays more and more the instinct of a real showman with this admirable disc in which die bubbly format is abandoned temporarily in favor of quietly restrained yet lush tributes to some of the best popular tunes of our times.

The Weft orchestra and chorus are made up of fine musicians who make the most of Pete King's glossy arrangements in a pro­gram which includes:

"Ballerina." "Where the Blue of the Night," "No Other Low," "Nature Boy," "Sonny Boy." "Love Letters in the Sand." "That's My Desire." "Prisoner of Love." "Be My Love," "IH Never Smile Again," "September Song." "When It's Sleepy Time Down South."

The music is wonderfully relaxing for those who want to relax and yet those of us who admire the slow, dreamy dances of yesteryear, may find considerable inspiration for rolling back the rug. It's really an all-purpose record.

ENZO STUARTI: STUARTI ARRIVES AT CARNEGIE HALL (live performance with orchestra conducted by BOB Mc-MULLIN—JUBILEE JGM2-50S5 (two LPs in illustrated folder).

A personable young baritone who has been popular in clubs here and abroad casts a spell of charm over a capacity Carnegie Hall audience which is understandable if the recorded applause and bravos are authentic.

The program is long but well varied and paced to please. Stuarti's voice is clear, warm and powerful except on a few occasions where fatigue may have caused him to run slightly out of breath on far-reaching climaxes.

The program, mainly in English but with a few excursions into his native Italian and even into Yiddish, follows:

"We're Not Strangers," "Yours Is My Heart Atone." "Once in a Lifetime." "Come Prima," "That Wonderful Girl of Mine." "If You Are but a Dream," "You Stepped Out of a Dream," "Gigi."

"I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," "This Is All I Ask," "September Song," "It Never Entered My Mind." "On the Street Where You Live," "Smile." "Al Di La," "The Exodus Song," "The Sound of Music," "And That Reminds Me," "As Long

"If Ever I Would Leave You," "You'll Never Walk Atone," "If I Loved You." "Tonight." "Maria," "The House I Live In." "Somewhere." "Sorrento," and "Vesti la Ghibba."

FOLK MUSIC: GERMAN CHILDREN'S CHORUS (instrumental accompaniment)—LONDON SW-99293/TW-»12M.

It matters not that all the lyrics to these delightful German folk songs and songs of childhood are in the native tongue of the three children's choruses which sing the 24 selections on this disc because a happy spirit rings through any barrier language might erect.

Moreover, there is interest enough in the almost fantastic precision of diction displayed by the children, to say nothing of the purity of tone and exactitude of harmony which seem to emerge so effortlessly from the grooves.

The record jacket offers little in the way of identification of the singers other than listing the names of the choruses — Die Kleinen Singerlein, Kinderchor Erich Bender and BielefeWer Kin-derchor—but this does not inhibit our congratulations to those responsible for training the youngsters for a program which con­tains charm undiminished from start to finish.

TERESA DUFFY: NEW SOUNDS IN SCOTTISH MUSIC (vocal with instrumental accompaniment)—LONDON TW-91328.

- Teresa Duffy, from County Donegal, will be remembered with affection by her countrymen for two previous albums, "Ireland's Songs of Freedom" and "New Sounds in Irish Music."

Because of her delightful voice and native dictional "burr," Tes>s Duffy is able to project vital spirit into a representative collection of Scottish music projected with a restrained, modern beat by instrumental accompanists directed by Earl Guest.

Even dyed-in-wool Scots folk music purists are likely to applaud Miss Duffy in this program:

"Northern Lights of Old Aberdeen." "The Old House," "West­erly Home," "The Road and the Miles to Dundee," "Granny's Highland Hame," "The Day I Marry Jamie," "Down in the Glen," "Skye Boat King," "The Kirk by the Glenside," "Jeannie and John." "Old Scotch Mother Mine," "Lewis Bridal Song," "Donal M' Darlin'," and "My Ain Folk." . . . C. F. K.

remains the No. 1 choice in music among the nation's young folk for the second straight week.

Moving into second place in the United Press International survey of the nation's top 20 tunes was "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen.

Boy, 13, Has Own Robot On TV Slow NEW YORK — The object of

Marc Berman's affection stands 4% feet high, weighs 100 pounds, can move in three directions, is shaped something like a turnip on wheels, can take pictures, pour liquids with one hand and grasp articles with the other.

"It's funny how you get to feel about a robot you've built your­self," said Marc. "I've developed a real feeling for him. When Wen­dy (Marc's sister) overheated a solenoid and burned his arm, it was like our dog getting hurt—a living thing, you know?

"It happened before I perfected the robot's brain."

The series will feature more than 60 scientific achievements by teen-age students.

Marc, an eighth-grade student in Chicago, doesn't talk like most 13-year-olders.

Sample: "I've been working on the

effects of ions on living cells. But this robot project has taken a lot of my time. I believe robots are among the greatest technical ad­vances we've made in the fields of general scientific eaperimenta-tion.

Remote Control "But by using remote control

devices, it's possible to conduct m a n y dangerous experiments. Take Mobot U.

"He's controlled by a 10-position telephone - type stepping relay, combined with various other re­lays in the base. The arm that pours the liquid is operated by an electric valve. As the current passes through the solenoid, it pulls the armature; this pulls up a metal bar which la clamped down on a piece of rubier tubing, allowing the liquid to run through the tube.

"There's another solenoid la the grasping arm which pulls a lever that in tarn opens the hand."
