Russians on the run

Benjamin Zander and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra at Sanders Theatre, February 24, 2008
Zander balanced the pathos and the passion here the way you have to balance the rose and the distaff/thorn in The Sleeping Beauty , and that was no small thing.

Luverly enough

My Fair Lady  at the Opera House

Masterpieces and mysteries

War and Peace

Seven hours is not enough
So, no, Bondarchuk’s War and Peace is not really Tolstoy’s. Then again, short of a 20-hour TV mini-series with Russian actors, you won’t see better.

Ebb and flow

Dance: 2007 in review

Meter maids

Revels goes to the Balkans

Underdeveloped (and badly packaged)

Baritone bliss?

Дмитрий Хворостовский at Symphony Hall
Ну, что, как вы — oops, sorry, that’s what happens when the conversation around you is all-Russian-all-the-time.

More than child’s play

Untrue north

This Compass doesn't point to Pullman
Just as there are many universes in the world of Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass (published in Great Britain as Northern Lights ), so there are many movies in this New Line adaptation.
