...performers are adding a blue tint to their sound. Last month British-born art screecher PJ Harvey released a blues-shaded album, To Bring You My Love; Houston-born rocker Chris Whitley has just come out with the bluesy CD Din of Ecstasy; and this week Chris Thomas of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, releases his blues-rap album, 21st Century Blues from da Hood...
...orchestra, under the direction of Sarah Hicks's no-nonsense baton, weaves an intricate textural web that gives expressive if not always driving support to the singers. The balance between pit and stage in particular, combined with good diction on the part of the cast, make for clear and powerful presentation.

No assembly was bigger than the one in Manila, where an estimated 3 million to 4 million people attended Mass in Luneta Park. The scene was so chaotic that the Pope had to change plans and arrived by helicopter, an hour and a half late. A smaller but more colorful turnout welcomed him in Papua New Guinea, where he presided over the beatification--a prelude to sainthood--of lay catechist...
