...show concluded with Bela executing about half an hour of solo acoustic work, what he jokingly entitled "his MTV Unplugged Album." These minutes were a showcase for the best of B‚la's unique talents. When Bela starts on the banjo, you might think at first that he is tuning his banjo. That is until you realize that he is actually playing the banjo not by fretting, but by twisting the tuners on the head of the instrument. B‚la even went as far as to fret a note with his nose. He brought his brand...
...Concerto occurs in the first movement, where the notes span almost the entire range of the violin, rising to a D two octaves above the staff.

...with enough heartfelt emotion to bring theentire audience to tears. The voices ofEichenberger and Cearcy, as Mother and Sarahrespectively, create the audio equivalent ofheartbreak itself--Eichenberger with painfullymeasured dignity, Cearcy with a flood of rawemotion. As Coalhouse Walker Jr., Hamiltondisplays an enormous range of talent both duringand between his solo numbers. He slips into eachmood--from languid happiness to pure joy to miseryto violent anger--with a realistic lucidity thatcements his position as one of the mostoutstanding members of the cast. In addition, thecharacters of Tateh, Mother's Younger Brother andEmma Goldman are brought to life by some of themost...
