With the help of Alexander Heddinger's eerie lighting, the women's bodies seem to glow from within. They glide solemnly across the stage, occasionally sinking to the floor or collapsing into one another's arms. Sometimes they pause in a dreamy tableaux, their arms reaching toward the heavens. At times, however, the religious motif becomes too heavy-handed, as when six women lift the seventh into a distinct crucifixion pose and walk reverently in a circle with her body...
...mastery of this latter skill that makes his technique so memorable and distinct. The way he can glide over the keyboard almost levitating the sound is in sharp contrast to the way that he extracts vital energy out of pieces by Mussorgsky. Dynamism and contrast.

Like giant rafts, these plates glide across an expanse of superheated rock, viscous as tar, that surrounds the planet's molten outer core. At the rate of nearly 5 cm (2 in.) a year, the Pacific plate to the west of the San Andreas is slowly pushing north, past the North American plate on the east. One possible result: 60 million or so years from now, a sliver of the California coast that includes the megalopolis...
