...keyboard like a professional, with dazzling technical ability and power.The virtuosic writing did not hinder Li’s musicality, as he expressed dark, haunting melodies in the first movement. The second movement highlighted the depth of Li’s ability, alternating mercurial running scales with a jovial, romping tune. The stormy third movement was the most technically demanding, but Li combined a bell-like power with flawlessly executed flourishes that spanned the entire keyboard. The orchestra supported him with appropriate and timely effects, and did not intrude on the solo. As he finished, the BPO members were smiling...

Manning’s ability to balance both of these emotions—as well as embody their effects in one performance—is noteworthy, while Prinze’s role requires little more effort than putting on a frown and a furrowed brow. His character, like...
...took an impromptu walk in a park in a gentrified neighborhood bustling with trendy new shops and eateries. While we strolled, grown-ups came up to shake Hu's hand, embrace him and wish him well, and children jostled to have their pictures taken with him. The atmosphere was jovial - it was clear that Taichung's citizens were very fond of Hizzoner. That's because Hu, a Kuomintang (KMT) stalwart who was first elected Taichung's mayor in 2001 when he defeated the independent incumbent and the candidate belonging to the rival Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has turned the city...
