...adaptation of guitar to fit the organ's instrumentation provides an updated feel to this variation of Bach's B-minor Mass. The crux of this album is "Gospel Medley." The word "medley" may evokes memories of 5th grade chorus, but this listener was pleasantly surprised to hear the interwoven melodies of the traditional standard "Go Tell it on a Mountain," Jewel's own "Life Uncommon" (from Spirit) and Bette Midler's "From a Distance." Jewel's folk melodies and powerful vocals have always had an underlying spiritual feel, but this new track finally gives her an opportunity to expand...
...reformists - and created a powerful crowbar with which Premier Zhu Rongji can prize open the economy and ensure its long-term growth despite the short-term pain. After 13 years of negotiations, the U.S. and China have finally agreed on a comprehensive set of rules to govern their increasingly interwoven economic relationship. But selling that deal won't be plain sailing for the politicians on either side of the Pacific...
Though Sderlundh's "Suite in Swedish Tune" was itself nothing spectacular, I was struck by the ensamble's quick energy and careful attention to the contrasting dynamics of the different movements. Corigliano's "Voyage for String Orchestra" was hauntingly beautiful and executed with similar panache, its ethereal solos seemlessly interwoven despite their brevity. Elkie's "Allegro Troppo for String Orchestra" showcased the technical mastery the ensamble's musicans. At a vivace pace, spiccatos were crisp and clean though after the piece hits the ten-minute mark, the bows start to settle into a repetitious hard grind against the instruments. Dvorak...
...poorly scripted, quasi-interwoven story is almost as confusing as it is melodramatic, particularly when improbable, Dickensian coincidences and secret character connections begin to surface after the 90-minute mark. The characters are developed only enough to continue the simplistic plots, leaving little desire to empathize with them. In a movie devoted to the pain and pleasure associated with love, an emotional connection between the audience and the characters must be established and strengthened throughout the film. But the multiple jumpy, unrelated stories show only brief glimpses into the relationships, which prevents viewers from ever becoming involved in the amorous...
Music and colors are richly interwoven in our psychology. In her latest release, Japan's Takako Minekawa draws us back to an infant's syn(th)aesthetic state where musical notes, colors, words and numbers find unity under a common sense of wonder. Armed with analog Casio synthesizer, Minekawa blends the controlled tones and rhythms of Kraftwerk (to whom she pays homage on the expansive "Kraftpark") with the delicate innocence of 60s French pop-to effects which at times echo likeminded Stereolab and 80s New Wave. Minekawa refines her music along minimalist lines, creating a childlike interplay between melody...
