RECORDS

IVES: FOURTH SYMPHONY (Columbia). Charles Ives once said, "I found out I could not go on using the familiar chords early. I heard something else." Indeed he did, and as a virtual recluse who had never heard a note of Schoenberg, he set down his inner music, delving into dissonance and polytonality in 1916. The work was not played until 50 years after it was written, and this first recording by Leopold Stokowski and the American Symphony Orchestra celebrates the long-delayed recognition of a major composer.

ROSSINI OVERTURES (Deutsche Grammophon). These brief episodes are gems that rank with the wisest and wittiest works of Mozart. In them Rossini displays a full range of musical motifs, from somber reveries to brilliant marches with a Pied Piper fascination. Tullio Serafin conducts the Rome Opera Orchestra with elegance and exuberance.

SCHUMANN: FOUR SYMPHONIES (Columbia). In recording Schumann's symphonies as they were originally orchestrated, Leonard Bernstein has compiled a catalogue of the composer's many moods. He deals decisively with the complicated polyphonic structure that Schumann imposed upon his gentle, lyric thoughts and puts the composer--whimsical, sad, angry--across without blurring overlaps of Teutonic bravura.

DVORAK: SLAVONIC DANCES (Columbia). At his worst, Dvorak can make music sound like busy work for idle hands, but he can also evoke the folk music of Bohemia echoing across silent valleys and hills. It is this Dvorak that George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra capture.

CARL NIELSEN: SINFONIA ESPANSIVA (Columbia). Leonard Bernstein and the Royal Danish Orchestra do a brisk, lucid job with a slick musical pastiche that seems to combine Sibelius strings, Bruckner mysticism and Grieg schmalz. Along the way there are some very disconcerting faraway voices giving tongue on distant Scandinavian mountaintops. But what is authentically Nielsen's is his sense of theater; it is also authentically Bernstein's.

CINEMA

HELP! The Beatles romp through sight and sound gags, pursued by a band of sinister Orientals out to make a human sacrifice of Ringo. Addicts will welcome the shots of the Beatles' communal pad, which--among other things--has wall-to-wall grass.

THE KNACK. Director Richard Lester, who Helped! the Beatles, makes Rita Tushingham the goal of three zany British bachelors. At the final guffaw, it's three down and goal to go.

RAPTURE. A gloomy farm household on the coast of Brittany harbors an escaped criminal (Dean Stockwell) who fulfills the various needs of an embittered ex-judge (Melvyn Douglas), his otherworldly daughter (Patricia Gozzi), and a bed-minded serving wench (Gunnel Lindblom). The tragic result is a triumph for English Director John Guillermin.

DARLING. Julie Christie irresistibly shows how to succeed in bed without hardly trying. This tale has its own kind of moral: when you finally get there, it's time to get up and go somewhere else.

THE IPCRESS FILE. Harry Palmer (Michael Caine) is an un-Bonded type of counterspy who can hardly see without his glasses and does his job only to keep from being sent to jail. But he does it well and interestingly enough to make a thriller that is fun all the way.

SHIP OF FOOLS. Grand Hotel afloat, with such passengers as Vivien Leigh, Lee Marvin, Simone Signoret and Oskar Werner rocking Katherine Anne Porter's boat.

BOOKS

Best Reading

LANGUAGE ON VACATION, by Dmitri A. Borgmann. The author is a word fanatic of the most ingenious order, produces resolutely useless, teasingly fascinating information about anagrams, antigrams, palindromes. How many people can look at Satan and see Santa?

THE EMPEROR OF ICE CREAM, by Brian Moore. A tough, uncompromising novel about a very young man who learns the value of self-respect by daring to meet the crises caused by an air raid during World War II. Author Moore (The Luck of Ginger Coffey) casts a cold eye on contemporary society but warms it with Irish wit.

MRS. JACK, by Louise Hall Tharp. An immensely readable biography of Isabella Stewart Gardner, one of Boston's most colorful Victorian lady eccentrics. Armed with money, an unfettered imagination and a whim of iron, she kept Boston's newspapers in copy with her antics for half a century--and along the way assembled a collection of great art, now housed in the Gardner Museum.

SQUARE'S PROGRESS, by Wilfred Sheed. Hounded by his wife and bored to death by the suburb of Bloodbury, Sheed's hero sets out to discover the world of the beats. He does, and is lucky to escape, gratefully, with his sanity intact.

THE GARDENERS OF SALONIKA, by Alan Palmer. Salonika's gardeners were discarded tacticians sent off by World War I commanders in chief to dig trenches on the forgotten Macedonian front. But French General Franchet d'Esperey clearly recognized a strategic advantage and sent his neglected troops slicing toward the heart of Germany through the Balkans, thus hastening the Kaiser's downfall.

ESAU AND JACOB, by Machado de Assis. Machado is the Proust of fin de siecle Rio de Janeiro. His chronicle of old manners and old morals being swept away by new money has the fascination of a gossip column and the authenticity of a diary preserved in lavender.

NEVER CALL RETREAT, by Bruce Catton. Author Catton manages to milk fresh facts and fresh emotions from the oft-repeated tale of the Civil War's end. The heart of his book is a thorough analysis of what was at stake, morally and economically, at the close of 1864, and a review of the characters of Lincoln and Lee that reaffirms their place among the U.S.'s toughest and most realistic heroes.

WARD 7, by Valeriy Tarsis. Because his novels reflected so clearly the injustices of Soviet dictatorship, Author Tarsis was unjustly committed to a mental asylum. In this bitter novel he outlines the misery of his fellow inmates.
