...word into their tracks-MCs such as TC Izlam and Steele, however talented, simply fail to impress with the same regularity as many of their British counterparts. And, as with any cutting-edge Manhattan release, a certain degree of pretension is to be expected. Tracks like Drum FM's "Bach & Bass," an uninspired rehash of strings over appropriately hyperactive beats, come off as warmed-over stabs at originality. A mixed bag? Certainly. But as long as they subscribe to the philosophy of filling dance floors, Jungle Sky's DJs and MCs offer junglists more than enough to think about...
Murray Perahia, the reigning poet of classical piano, first made a name for himself in the '70s with his chaste, sensitive interpretations of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Chopin. But Perahia didn't bond with the Baroque genius of Johann Sebastian Bach until an injury to his right thumb forced him off the concert stage for five nerve-racking years. "I needed it spiritually," he explains...
...that he's back at the top of the heap, Perahia has started playing Bach's Goldberg Variations, the work that made Glenn Gould an overnight star back in 1955.

Buckley irritates a lot of people. He flicks his eyes like high beams at an adversary; he speaks in an accent all his own. In quarters where "elitist" is the dirtiest word in the English language, Buckley's very existence (the Bach, the ocean sailing) is a provocation. But only the captious would miss the coherence and steadfastness of Buckley's thought and work over many years. I was surprised yesterday when I read a new book of essays on America by a British journalist named Martin Walker. Walker accuses Buckley of being "self-indulgent." If Walker will explain...
