...lightly over an airy sound in the strings. Hangen led the listener on a tour of the personalities of the variations, whether in the quirky spiccato passages of the violins or the dance-like slurs of the winds. The lovely muted sounds of the ninth variation, “Nimrod,” created an especially noble effect as the main theme was, for the first time, drawn out in a long line sustained by swells of sound. In the final variation, Elgar returned to himself. Hangen paced the last variation very well, as he alternately pushed forward the rolling...
...China Central Television, aged 16. CCTV has been a supporter ever since, broadcasting her to hundreds of millions at a time. "As long as you don't express politically incorrect messages, from the government's point of view these kinds of artists are a very positive phenomenon," says Nimrod Baranovitch, a professor at the University of Haifa in Israel and the author of China's New Voices, an authoritative survey of Chinese popular music from 1978 to 1997.

While it's not an album full of heartfelt "Good Riddance"-style ballads, it's still a punk purist's nightmare: mid-tempo strum-alongs with the trademark Green Day melodies but a distortion level of nil. First single "Minority" is probably the punkest song on the disc -and that's not saying much...
