...idea of "sacred spaces"--spaces that Monk says can be "everywhere and anywhere"--is a constantly recurring theme in Monk's work, a reflection of her 15 years of meditation. In "Celebration Service", Monk used the space offered by Sanders completely, placing singers at the edge of the upper balcony, in the aisles next to the audience and at one point even placing the two chanters on the catwalk above the stage...

What to Look For Danes is breaking out of her previous typecasting as she ditches her nice girl image that has followed her from My So-Called Life to Romeo and Juliet to Les Miserables and replaces it with a tougher character. In the recent trend of theme-sharing movies (war, asteroids, bugs), this plot seems to echo Return to Paradise (drugs and Americans in trouble with the law in Asia). Another interesting tidbit is that a thoughtless quote by Danes about living conditions in Manila, Philippines, where it was filmed, led to violent reactions. There is talk of banning...

...pass the time./Perhaps I'll guess/ Which one will ask me what they always ask:/ Whom do I write for? Anybody? Yes,/ You." With these lines, Maxwell actually beckons us into his own reality in which Thomas has strong influence. He also emphasizes a strong theme of work, the theme of World War I. One of his most heartfelt and passionate poems, "My Grandfather at the Pool," describes his grandfather's experience as a survivor of the war and the tragedy of living to witness the death of many of his friends...

While the World War I theme may dominate this collection, Maxwell exhibits extreme diversity in his poetry. Ranging from British historical poems to deeply personal confessions to general observances about life, Maxwell's poetry encompasses enough subjects and emotions that every reader will be touched by his work. That is not to say that his verse is easily accessible. On the contrary, at times, Maxwell's writing becomes esoteric and obscure as he skip and dances around the meaning of his poetry, allowing us quick glimpses and hint but forcing us to read actively and draw our own conclusions...

Next of the program was the Beethoven F major Sonata from Op. 10--in my opinion, Perahia's strongest performance of the night. This piece has enormous innate appeal, but certainly does not play itself and Perahia made it dazzling. Perahia imparted to the main theme of the allegretto middle movement the proper sense of graceful ghostliness, and played the living daylights out of the trio, but the real jawdropper here was the presto rondo finale. In an interview with WHRB, Perahia revealed that, studying under Miecyslaw Horszowski, he practiced his Leschetisky method like a good little boy. Nowhere...
