...true in this performance of Liszt's second concerto, in A, where Yukiko Sekino '99, the winner of HRO's Concerto Competition, dwarfed her colleagues with her huge technique. Though her double notes left something to be desired (and whose don't?), her fearless and flawless octaves, the sine quibus non of Lisztian bravura, eradicated this quibble. A duet passage with principal cellist Steve Cho '97 was captivating, but the otherwise bland ensemble writing made it impossible for the orchestra to advertise itself.

...used to look down on football fanatics before I became one myself. My conversion was like Alypus', as described by Augustine in his Confessions: "Quid plura? Spectavit, clamavit, exarsit, abstulit, inde secum insaniam qua stimularetur redire; non tantum cum illis a quibus prius abstractus est, sed etiam prae etiam prae illis, et alios trahens."

Nunc iterum ver et ardor adest; Musae et Venus placido de caelo Cantabrigiam descenderunt; histriones classici foriter vigescunt. Sed quales Musae nobis? Plautinae? Et qualis Venus? Secunda? Immo edepol severae Musae tragoediae quibus tantum borribiles irae et mortes pallidae placent. Et non Venus benigna inter nos incedit sed illa Venus dirissima quae tantummodo incastos ritus saeviter fovet. O collegium Harvardianum, quale exemplum maestissimum ver et Venus tibi protulit! Ubinam gentium sunt Nymphae Gratiaeque decentes? Cur nihil nisi membra disiecta? Nam hac in Senecae fabula Ration Stoica nihil potest, et ubique regnat Furor et Cupido ct Caedesl Phaedra enim cui voluptas...
Nunc ad vos tanseo qui principales partes Cecropio coturno agitis, ex quibus primi cum primis estis nominandi: tu, o Dorothea blandissima, et tu, o Ripa Pulchra (ab his conturaits puellis caute cave, o sagax KerbyMolitor!), nec non tu, o Michael purior quam sapientior, ct tu, o Sullivane frustra infernis ab tenebris resurrecte, et tu, o T. noster Hilaris, adulescens animac plene, Et chorum doctissimum et sobrium, ardium saplentiae fontem liquidae, et famulos fideles totis laudibus ad caclum extollimus. Quibus ombibus "florcatis gloria" dicunt Seneca Altonque Peters; nobis tamen "sacer est ignis (credite lacsis) nimiumque potens...
Nunc ad illos transco qui principales partes agunt. Ex quibus primi cum primis nominandi hi Roscii: ille servus sollers, virgarum lascivia (quem nos T. Hilarem appellamus), et cius alter, Shillius Homo (qui solus intellegit uti miser sit homo qui amat), et Norris noster nobilis (qui verba blanda pro auro et dicta docta prodatis pracbet). Nec quidem vos estis mihi practereundac, o amatrices dicaculae et sagaces, tu, M. Paludis Filum et tu, o matre forti filia fortior, M. Tabum; nec tu, dura Dersofia; nec vos, o nymphae graciles, meae Mariac ambae; nec denique tu, o vox aurea cuius nomen barbarum Latin...
