However, as with many of her recordings, I cannot give this one a whole-hearted recommendation. Midori stands now at a crucial cross-roads betwixt being a child prodigy and a mature musician. Yehudi Menuhin and Ruggiero Ricci are two who never crossed this chasm successfully, and only time will tell with the upcoming generation. Joshua Bell and Julian Rachlin struggle to get recognition, Sarah Chang remains largely untested outside of choreographable showpiece repertoire, and how much longer Helene Grimaud and Evgeny Kissin shall wax incandescent remains to be seen.

...good. Tolins has defined the attitudinal chasm separating gays, who think of themselves as a people with a history and culture, and kindly disposed heterosexuals who think of gays as individual mistakes of nature. But in making the family Jewish, he clutters the argument with a lot of dubious parallels to the Holocaust. At the same time, he opts for cliche comedy based on ethnic stereotypes (the Jewish mother force-feeding her son, the father showering his adult children with money) and cheap pop references (Dances with Wolves, The Mary Tyler Moore Show). He probably knows his audience...
