MEDIOCRE MUSIC poses a major challenge to performers. It takes a special sense of drams and dash to transform a collection of second rate ideas into a satisfying, enjoyable performance. Last Friday, violinist Lynn Chang and the HRO showed just how it is done in a riveting performance of the Sibelius Violin Concerto...

Kael has simply missed the point. She tries to transform Cassavetes's film into a celluloid peg and cram it into a neat intellectual hole. But the movie doesn't fit and neither does the man. Neither is quite so neat, articulate or peggable...
