...will air 128 hours of sport and spectacle from Nagano, a record for the Winter Games. In addition, TNT will broadcast more than 50 hours on cable. Nagano is 14 hours ahead of the U.S. East Coast, so schedules will require some math. Opening ceremonies, for example, will start at 11 a.m. Saturday in Japan, but Americans will see them live Friday night...
...egregious failures of perspective. The grotesque frenzies surrounding the O.J. Simpson trial, the nanny trial or the birth of septuplets in Iowa seem entirely out of proportion to their actual significance. I believe there is a special circle in hell reserved for any television network that ever opened a broadcast with a story about Tonya Harding. And I detest local news stations that never once offer a decent, thoughtful story about education, but are always on the scene the moment someone falls down a manhole or gets an ear bitten...
...point Jeff Greenfield failed to make, despite a poll showing that 72 percent think there's "too much" coverage of Sexgate was: We're only doing it for you, dear reader! If you didn't want this stuff, why would news magazines, web sites and broadcast news programs like those on CNN be having record-smashing weeks? (Answer: See Dan Rather, above...
...performances were culled from hundreds of hours of recordings by Sedgwick Clark, a musicologist and critic, who has sought to showcase the Philharmonic's sustained virtuosity in a wide range of repertoire evenly distributed over its broadcast seasons. Listening to the selections (and reading the 144-page book of essays, interviews and notes) provides a rare opportunity to experience the changing approaches to music-making and the evolution of recording technology over the past 75 years. (The set, which retails for $185, is available at select Tower Records stores, or it can be ordered directly from the orchestra by phone...
...collection begins with a fragment from 1923 that is among the earliest known surviving symphony-broadcast recordings. At first its sound seems irritatingly thin and scratchy, but as the listener's ears adapt, the focus turns to Willem van Hoogstraten's white-hot, meticulously sculpted rendering of most of Beethoven's Coriolanus overture; the level of orchestral precision is breathtaking. Even more remarkable is Willem Mengelberg's spellbinding presentation in 1924 of two fragments from Richard Strauss's Death and Transfiguration. Mengelberg achieves an almost spiritual intimacy in the work's tender, meditative broodings and a radiant beauty...
