...violin, giving the music a strongly passionate flavor; after a while, however, the emphasis on extreme registers began to wear (at least on these untutored ears) and passion passed over into hysteria. The last movement, ("Allegro appasionato.") was a curiously dance-like finale with its predominantly triple meter (this, too, is a bit of heritage from the musical past) and was quite lighthearted compared to the general severity of the piece. Throughout the Quintet composer Sessions demonstrated a fantastic command of string emsemble sounds and effects: the use of block chords in the four upper strings underlined by 'cello pizzicato...
...victory over Vesper was anything but boring. It was anything but easy, too. Rowing at a beat of 50 strokes a minute, the lighter (by 7 Ibs. per man) Vesper crew sprinted into the lead at the start, stayed there until midway through the 2,000-meter race. Finally, Harvard's weight and strength began to tell. Stroking at a steady 36, the powerful Crimson boat edged alongside, fought off still another Vesper sprint, and drew out to win by 1 ½ lengths. And so back to the stadium they went, but this time they got a break-they...
...start of the race, however, the outcome was by no means certain. Vesper jumped to a quick lead, and Harvard's shaky rowers were just even with Penn, a crew twice defeated by the Crimson earlier this year. But by the 500-meter mark, Harvard had settled down to a smooth and surprisingly low pace of 35-36, and was gaining ground fast. At 1000 meters, it was half a length ahead of Vesper, a full length ahead of Penn, and still pulling away...
Harvard completed the 2000-meter race in 6:14.5, well ahead of Vesper which edged Penn at 6:21.7. Vesper's second boat, consisting of a recently gathered group of collegiate all-stars, placed well back...
...soft summer's day, is as thin and as fragile as a sea shell. But despite its faults, The Drifter rarely drifts into obscurity or self-indulgence, thanks to the inventive, impressionistic camera work of Director Alex Matter and Photographer Steve Winsten. As sensitive as a light meter, Matter, who also wrote the scenario, gains his greatest effects with celebrations of the ordinary: the special glint of Manhattan sidewalks at night, the raucous antics of a flock of gulls, a barefoot walk on the beach, a wave of wind through scruffy dune grass. Implementing the images is a witty...
