The Ozawa-led Boston Symphony cycle of Beethoven piano concertos with soloist Rudolf Serkin continues with Telarc's release of the Third Concerto and the Choral Fantasy in both compact disc and standard LP format. Already available on LP are Serkin's performances with the orchestra of the Fourth Piano Concerto and the Emperor Concerto, No. 5. The Emperor Concerto and Mr. Ozawa's performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony have also just been issued by Telarc on compact disc. The latest Philips release with John Williams and the Boston Pops has just reached the stores. It's called "Pops Out of This World" and includes music from Williams's film scores for Return of the Jedi and E.T., as well as the themes from 2001: A Space Odyssey (the opening of Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra), Star Trek, Alien, Battlestar Galactica, and Twilight Zone. The latest disc by Sir Colin Davis and the Boston Symphony includes Debussy's La Mer and Nocturnes, on Philips. Other recent Philips releases include Mr. Ozawa's perform- ances of the Strauss tone poems Also sprach Zarathustra and Ein Heldenleben, and several best-selling Pops records under the baton of Mr. Williams: "Aisle Seat" (film music from E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Chariots ofEire, and others), "Pops Around the World" (digitally-recorded overtures by Kabalevsky, Glinka, von Suppe, Rossini, Bernstein, Williams, and Auber), and the seasonal favorite, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," featuring the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.
