...Clark, meanwhile, is struggling to seduce voters with lofty talk on combating climate change. The notion that the planet is on the brink of catastrophe from this amorphous force is a hard sell in New Zealand, where water is abundant and lush pastoral land rolls on forever. Clark wants New Zealand, which produces 0.4% of the world's carbon emissions, to set the pace on emissions cuts, just as it was the first country to grant women the vote (1893) and the first Western-allied nation to legislate itself into nuclear-free status (1987). "New Zealand...
...said.From the start of the piece, the orchestra played with more passion and clarity than they had shown during the first half. Zander took great liberties with the tempo, stretching the lyrical themes. The orchestra always had direction and variance; turbulent peaks of speed and activity collapsed to lush, calm melodic sections. The English horn was especially strong, playing a famous second movement theme with purity and nuance. Occasional cracks in the winds and brass did not take away from the overall sense of fun and energy throughout.While Zander’s remarks were sometimes long and hyperbolic?...
...sitting at a computer all day, hasn't imagined owning a personal slice of paradise, lush with bougainvillea and frangipani, perhaps a sea breeze carrying the scent of exotic herbs and barbecued delights?

At times, Sakir was able to lift the brass line above the lush strokes of two-note slurs in the strings for a regal effect. But the musical lines frequently stopped before the end of the phrases, and, despite the music’s religious undertones, the delivery lacked fervor. Even during the piece’s most climactic moments, the orchestra?...
...first book, 21 NIGHTS (Atria; 256 pages), provides no final verdict, though it does resolve the questions, Does Prince own a lot of shirts, and what does his Bible look like? Purportedly a photographic record of his sold-out concerts in London last year, it's actually a lush myth-making exercise. Prince consorts with sexy twins, wears fabulous coats, jewelry and sunglasses and has a game of cat and mouse with a maid. He reveals nothing, offering instead a fantasy creature: a nocturnal, poetic avatar. Is the book an attempt to get people to pay $50 for the companion...
