...crew off its attack path and sent three 2,000-lb. bombs into the French embassy. When the U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade on May 7, there once again were two pilots aboard a single plane. It was a B-2 this time. Once again, a trio of 2,000-pounders went astray. But this time the error wasn't made in the heat of battle by a pair of pilots fighting fear and fire. Instead it was made--and compounded--by deskbound drones at the CIA, the Pentagon, the U.S. European Command and NATO...

For those in the audience with AIDS or other diseases that have ravaged our world, the phrase not only defined this hilarious, touching evening and the canny dramatic strategy of its playwriting trio.

...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 was it more obvious than in these astonishingly clean, carefully controlled, and virtually unpedalled runs...
Yesterday afternoon, the BSO held an open rehearsal to accommodate the large crowd interested in the event, which also featured the Marcus Roberts Trio's performance of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," a presentation of the theme from the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey," and a performance by BSO's Tanglewood Festival Chorus and the Per- forming Artists at the Lincoln Schoolchildren's chorus. Pop singer Roberta Flack hostedthe event...
