...Spring movement, all present were filled with langorous longing for the delights of May. The high-pitched flute authentically evoked the ebullient song of the birds and the rushing whistle of a brook, despite the initial overpowering of the second violins. During the more "violinistic" spots where the warmth of the intended solo violin would have more richly depicted the sleepy scenes of shepherds napping and dogs baying, Ms. Robison courageously puffed away and made the leap of faith that her modern flute could pull it off as well. And pull...
...snow will be the curse of our days. Vivaldi humorously depicts such antics as poor folks falling on their derrieres after sliding over the ice with the sweeping phrasing of the baroque guitar. Then, he clemently rushes us all home with a competently executed Largo, to the family values warmth of fireside, cocoa with mini marshmallows and mom.

On that day, she must have sensed a warmth from the awkwardness and earnestness of our visit, our forthright goodwill and our best wishes for her future. Detached from the trappings of life in the White House, the bullets in New Haven and the general flakiness that envelops Brown, she would prosper here-and perhaps one day be just...
