...debut, balanced the sound and skillfully led the orchestra through the several tempo changes, but an emphasis on control detracted from the sense of complete abandon that would have fully realized the piece’s excitement.In contrast, the Copland concerto, led by music director James Yannatos, was fluid and evocative. Lowy played with an unfaltering purity of sound, moving seamlessly through all registers of his instrument. His intonation was magnificent, and, unlike most technically advanced performers, Lowy possessed the impressive ability to command his instrument to tell the story. From the beginning, his melodies were wandering and melancholy, impelling...
...Pelleas et Melisande and Shylock,” employs the vocabulary of French classical ballet. The story of Pelleas et Melisande is a mysterious tale evoking the origins of the French national sensibility.

...supersonar for detecting any foreign and potentially harmful proteins. To signal the need to annihilate these invaders, IgE attaches like antennae to the surface of cells that release histamines and other inflammatory agents. In mild cases, the result is a rash and hives. In others, blood pressure drops and fluid builds up in tissues, leading to swelling. Airways can constrict, triggering coughing and eventually respiratory distress and even death. Once a massive IgE cascade is activated, only a shot of the hormone epinephrine, a.k.a. adrenaline, can stop a hypersensitive immune system from killing the body it set out to protect...
