...rendition of the third symphony seems less calculated than that of its cousins, but the tension is not uniformly kept up through the inner movements, although I appreciate the subtle interplay between the inner voices that abounds in the second and third movements (including a wayward timpani mallet about 18 seconds into the second movement). While Haitink receives my praise for sustaining the momentum in the sublime cello theme of the third movement, I still wish that he had felt just a little more free to lose himself in its glory. Typically, he avoids excessively punching the off-beat accents...
...wrote a biography of Kissinger, for the same publisher, which many of his detractors, and some of his putative friends, said pulled too many punches, and which his fervent defenders (himself among them) decried as too harsh. My conclusion was that Kissinger had a remarkable feel for the interplay of national interests but that he failed to appreciate the strength America derives from the openness of its democratic system. His strategic and tactical brilliance made possible the U.S.'s rapprochement with China, but his secretive style and disdain for the moralism that undergirds America's sense of mission...
...sounded better, tight as all hell and at the same time creatively lyrical. Carter's dazzling clarity, Hancock's chord driven, percussive flair, and Williams' inventive and at the same time remarkably structured use of his drum kits serve as the backbone of the album. The results of their interplay make one wish the three of them would release a piano trio album...
...argument about policies of preference for African-Americans is too simplistic. If this interplay of guilt and exaggeration does lead to preferential policies, then why is that so-called "affirmative action" limited to only a small percentage of the African-American population? Is Steele maintaining that only white elites suffer from this latent guilt and only African-American are masters of over-emphasis for political and economic gains? If this political culture truly exists and is as easy to exploit as he claimed, why haven't the masses of African-Americans struggling to survive mobilized to take advantage of this...
...tells the story with a twinkle, that fear has hovered over him for years. In his mind he is a poetic playwright, but the world has seen him as a political, even polemic one, and his works are valued more as testimony against apartheid than for their subtle interplay of emotion and Beckettian sensitivity to the downtrodden. For many people, Fugard's dramas mattered less than the taboos they broke -- The Blood Knot put a black actor alongside a white one on the same Johannesburg stage -- and the punishments they brought, including revocation of his passport and virtual house arrest...
