That night, I was treated to a stunning performance by the soon-to-be-definitive Yo-Yo Ma. I found myself engulfed by his confidence, capabilities and professionalism. His handling of Shostakovich's composition was stupendous, to say the least, and I left the concert feeling completely invigorated.

It is discomfiting, especially in a movie made by a woman, to see the ma jor female character turned into such an abject creature. The fact that Actors Melato and Giannini, who starred together as well in Love and Anarchy and The Seduction of Mimi, are so wonderfully skillful only tips the movie's emotional imbalance further. They bring an awk ward poignancy...
