Eagle Minds―a selection from the correspondence between the Canadian composer and scholar Istvan Anhalt and his American counterpart George Rochberg―is a splendid chronicle and a penetrating analysis of the swerving socio-cultural movements of a volatile half-century as observed by two highly gifted individuals. Beginning in 1961 and spanning forty-four years, their conversation embraces not only music but other forms of contemporary art, as well as politics, philosophy, religion, and mysticism. The letters chronicle the deepening of their friendship over the years, and the openness, honesty, and genuine warmth between them provide the reader with an intimate look at their personalities. A fascinating intellectual tension emerges between the two men as they record their individual responses to musical modernism, to changing political and social realities, and to their Jewish heritage and sense of place, one as a son of Ukrainian immigrants to the United States, the other as a refugee from war-torn Hungary. Allowing us a privileged glimpse into the private lives and thoughts of these fascinating men, Eagle Minds is a valuable tool for scholars interested in North American composers in the late twentieth century and essential reading for anyone interested in the cultural and social history of that era.

Director Arthur Hiller (Love Story, Silver Streak), working from screenwriter Edward Anhalt's (Becket) adaptation, transforms actor/playwright Robert Shaw's the Man in the Glass Booth into a film the Los Angeles Times dubbed, "daring, outrageous, utterly provocative, endlessly ambiguous and strikingly effective". Millionaire Jewish entrepreneur Arthur Goldman (Maximilian Schell) benevolently rules his financial empire from a penthouse apartment overlooking Manhattan. Seemingly at the edge of san

Although La muette de Portici celebrated is 500th performance in 1880, today it is almost entirely forgotten and infrequently presented. The work premiered in the original French at the Anhalt Theater in Dessau under the general music director Anthony Hermus in April 2010 and is now available on cpo.

Flora von Roeder is one of thousands of direct descendants of a family in a Germanic entity in Europe called Anhalt. The family can theoretically be traced back to 1218 and is documented back to 1390. Those are spans of 795 and 613 years, respectively. Her intent here is to show how the main branch of this family emigrated from the European continent to the North American continent and to show its ability to establish roots and grow and multiply in an entirely different lifestyle under primitive circumstances into a clan that stretches today into many U.S. States, Canada, Mexico, back into European France and Germany, and to Hong Kong, and Australia. Between 1834 and today, there are as many as eight or nine generations of this family, most of whom were born in the U.S. Many do not carry the original surname, and many who do have changed it. Because the English alphabet does not carry the umlaut, an "e" was inserted after the "o" to make the spelling more accurate, and that made the pronunciation more confusing. Today we have "von Roeders," "von Raders," "von Raeders, and many have just dropped the "von" altogether, so we have just "Roeders." And, of course, there were the name changes through marriage; i.e., Engelking, Kleberg, Eckhardt, Binz, Wundt, Flato, Van Hutton, Regenbrecht, etc. Nevertheless, all can still be traced back to those knights called Koppen (Jacob) and Hans Röder or von Röder in a feudal letter awarding them noble lands at Harzgerode, Anhalt, in 1390.

Efter ett långt och synnerligen händelserikt liv hamnar Allan Karlsson på det äldrehem han tänker ska bli hans sista anhalt på jorden. Problemet är bara att hälsan vägrar ge vika, och en dag bär det sig inte bättre än att det är dags för honom att fylla tresiffrigt. Pompa och ståt väntar, med kommunalråd och lokaltidning på plats. Ett spektakel så oönskat av Allan att han i stället kliver ut genom fönstret. Därmed är han på rymmen från sitt eget födelsedagskalas. I hastigheten råkar Allan få med sig en väska som han bara skulle vakta ett slag och strax har han både tjuvar och poliser efter sig. // Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann handlar om en månadslång jakt genom Sverige på Allan och hans nyfunna vänner. Men boken är också en resa genom 1900-talet - den oändligt sorglöse Allan Karlssons livsresa. Hur kommer det sig egentligen att Allan äter middag med blivande presidenten Truman? Och får lift med förre premiärministern Churchill? Och åker flodbåt med ordförande Maos unga hustru? Eller för den delen att han tillbringar flera månader med att vandra över Himalaya? Trots att Allan är fullständigt ointresserad av politik och religion tycks han ha påverkat de flesta av det förra seklets stora händelser i världen. I hundra år gjorde Allan Karlsson världen osäker, bara genom att vara. Och nu är han lös igen. // Sagt om boken: ''En charmig Forrest Gump-liknande historia. En makalöst rolig bok som fyller i skrattrynkorna. Riktigt uppfriskande. ... ett underbart, komplicerat och givande äventyr.'' (Smålänningen) // ''Årets roligaste! Betyg 4 av 5'' (Hemmets Journal) // ''Sjövild och galen, en hejdlöst rolig historia om en hundraårig man som är på rymmen från ålderdomshemmet. I klass med Arto Paasilinnas bästa.'' (Ingalill Mosander, Aftonbladet)
