Debussy/Fauré/Duruflé - David Hill/Nicole Cabell/Kelley O'Connor/Duncan Rock/LSC
1 March 2015
The Times, 5 March 2015
The mezzo Kelley O'Connor offered soulful prayers in the Pie Jesu. The choir was melliflous and no smudges disturbed the last luminous glow as sopranos, harp, horn and hushed strings tiptoed us toward eternal rest. Curled up in my seat, I was content.

The majestic choral singing was first rate and wonderfully majestic. O'Connor struck form in the Pie Jesu. Duncan Rock was the noble, hieratic baritone. Fauré's Pelléas, meanwhile, beautifully shaped and textured, reminded us what a fine piece it is, and that we hear it all too infrequently.

In the well-known "Sicilienne" harp (Bryn Lewis) and flute (Gareth Davies) formed a winning partnership, and in the concluding "Death of Mélisande" Hill allowed no indulgence, urging the music forward always with an acute ear to instrumental balance.

Once again, the London Symphony Chorus was on fine form in music whose often intricate translucency can all too easily become turgid if the balance between vocal registers, and with that of the orchestra, goes awry. That this was never an issue was a tribute to the expertise of chorus-director Simon Halsey.

Balakirev/Glazunov/Rachmaninov - Valery Gergiev/Roman Simovic
19 February 2015
The Times, 23 February 2015
Simovic played with both physical and linguistic ease, guiding the bittersweet cadenza through to a rondo finale both rough-hewn and bucolic. Here was village fiddler turned virtuoso. Simovic gleefully took risks exceeded only in his chosen encore: the long and devilish transcription made by Nathan Milstein of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz No. 1. This brought the house down.

This was clearly a well-rehearsed performance, the upper strings supremely together at speed, the brass a wall of magnificence. There was a Tchaikovskian depth of emotion to the long-breathed lines here, the dark side of the piece fully honoured in the first movement so that the Mendelssohnian flickerings of the second movement could make their full mark. The finale had a fascinating underlying joyous feel and a wonderful lyric outpouring. Rachmaninov surely dreamt of a performance such as this.

Bachtrack, 20 February 2015
The soloist was Roman Simovic, familiar to audiences as the orchestra's leader since 2010. He is a stylish player with a sweet lyrical sound and his performance of the Glazunov was neatly self-contained. The slow section flowed beautifully... Milstein's transcription of themes from Liszt's Mephisto Waltz no. 1, allowed Simovic to display demonic virtuosity at greater length in an encore.

Telegraph, 20 February 2015
Roman Simovic had a delightfully sweet-toned lyricism, and an easy, smiling virtuosity. It was just what was needed to reveal the charm in this somewhat earnest, solidly-crafted piece. In his encore, Simovic carried off a feat that on the face of it seems impossible; recreating the heroic piano pyrotechnics of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz no 1, on the four strings of a violin. He made it seem entirely natural.

The Symphony was so finely interpreted, setting off different moods and characters in excellent fashion. The problematic opening viola bars in the Scherzo were also admirably solved, Gergiev's tempos throughout being wholly convincing, revealing the astonishing originality of this work to the full.

Liszt/Mahler - Gianandrea Noseda/Alice Sara Ott
15 February 2015
The Sunday Times, 22 February 2015
Her [Alice Sara Ott] virtuosity was breathtaking, as was the disjunction between her slender, barefooted prescence and the simply feral assault she mounted on the instrument's bass register near the start. Her total command of this exhibitionistic though compelling music, along with Gianandrea Noseda's fiery Italianate conducting, made the performance treasurable.

The Times, 18 February 2015
The playing was furiously intense and engaged, hard in on the heel of the bow, brutally heavy on the bass. Noseda's Sixth leaves little room to breathe, let along think. It is certainly arresting, this fast-boiling brew of feverish trills, vicious percussion, menacing brass and cimbalom-like confection of harp and cellos; less premonition of tragedies to come than a roar of fury at tragedies already visited.

Noseda's approach - never indulgent, always rhythmically taut - perfectly conveyed the sense of its four-movement classical proportions, even with the orchestral apparatus such a vast one, and the music operating over such a span of time.

This evening of Liszt and Mahler was possibly the best purely orchestral concert I can ever remember! I do not have the words to descibe the Finale enough... Even though I knew what was coming the brass seemed to lull me into a false sense of security making the last fortissimo A minor full orchestra chord even more terrifying in its suddenness than I can ever remember hearing it before. It was as if I had glimpsed Mahler's soul.

The soloist was Alice Sara Ott, who despite her sylph-like frame, made the military rodomontade of Liszt's piece ring out with heroic force.
The real challenge [of the Mahler] is the half-hour Finale. This has to recover from the two "hammer-blows" of fate, only to fall at the last, a narrative Noseda shaped with unerring skill.

Her [Alice Sara Ott's] virtuosity, of the highest technical accomplishment, was always placed at the service of the music and the wide-ranging journey the Concerto undertakes.

Ticciati's conducting was made the more impressive by his insistence on a wide gradation of dynamic, even down to ppp, and wonderfully observed, raising the stature of this very well-played performance by several cubits.

Tishchenko/Prokofiev/Shostakovich - Valery Gergiev/Denis Matsuev
Sun 21 Sep 2014
The Times, 23 Sep
From the grimacing chuckles of Rachel Gough's bassoon to Andrew Marriner's softly devastating clarinet, Gergiev harnessed the skill of his players and built up the churning textures to explosive heights.

The Guardian, 22 Sep
Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony threw the spotlight in turn on to a dozen outstanding solo players in the LSO's wind and brass. Gergiev's ability to pace and sustain the long climaxes in this composer's symphonies remains exemplary, and the second movement went at a brutal, exhilarating gallop.

The Telegraph, 22 Sep
All the ballast came at the end in the guise of Shostakovich's Tenth, played with a mix of brooding intensity and blistering attack.

Financial Times, 22 Sep
Matsuev was born with 10 hammers where other people have fingers and his performance of Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.3 caught him at his most virtuoso, fast, furious and percussive, forging industrial music at fever pitch.

London Evening Standard, 22 Sep
Gergiev also gave us the real thing: Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, big, bold and blatant when it needed to be, but also exuding refined pungency.

Windows 8 touch ultrabooks see price cuts at Microsoft Store
Touch ultrabooks are seeing decent price cuts at the Microsoft Store, making these expensive models a bit more affordable.
Touch-screen laptops are generally priced significantly higher than non-touch models, as the screens have been expensive to procure.
The well-received Acer Aspire S7 has seen one of the steepest discounts, falling to $1,299 from $1,649.
The S7 features a 256GB solid-state drive, a 13.3-inch 1,920x1,080 resolution display, and a 1.9GHz Intel Core i7-3517U processor.

I do a lot of injury recovery work and this has worked really well not only for glide but for help in their healing process. Even the men like the scent after being stand offish when they hear there is essential oils in the lotion. My clients have received the most benefit when they leave it on over night enabling the the essential oils to do their 'thing'.
I found Soothing Touch about 12 years ago and it remains my favorite. It is not oily and absorbs perfectly for deep work. I have tried other brands but always come back to the Soothing Touch Calming Cream.
My clients and I enjoy the non-greasy feel of this cream. Great friction and glide. Has a very light, pleasant aroma that sinks into the skin over time. And it's paraben free!!
have to apply a lot of cream and it rolls up on clients' skin. I use it for one client that just loves it.
Clients felt so relaxed after using this cream. It's awesome.

In a profession whose appetite for the new sometimes verges on attention deficit disorder, Shope Reno Wharton Architecture stakes out an unusually conciliatory position toward the past. Yet the firm's work, rendered with consummate fluency in the idioms of classically based 19th-century architecture, also is finely tailored to its contemporary cultural milieu. A still-evolving development of historical styles, especially Shingle style, it presents an authentic alternative to the repli-kitsch traditionalism of plan books and spec developers.
Shingle style emerged during the late 19th century in summer homes for the Gilded Age industrial aristocracy, and it remains an effective strategy for gracefully enclosing large volumes of living space. A big canvas invites bold strokes, and Shope Reno Wharton houses show an enormous range and control of proportion. Skilled manipulations of scale lend traditional details—such as the massive, bracketed porch columns of Wharton's own house—a contemporary inflection that is as striking in its own way as its minimalist counterpart.
More subtle but equally assured is the firm's handling of space planning, natural lighting, indoor-outdoor connections, and energy efficiency, all of which reflect the century that separates their work from its historical precedents. Founding partner Bernard Wharton (partners Robert S. Reno, AIA, and Allan Shope, AIA, left the firm in 1984 and 2006, respectively) explains the approach as a mirror of his own inclinations. "I'm a modernist at heart," he says, "but I'm clothed in a traditional skin."
What is the most gratifying aspect of residential practice?
The most gratifying aspect of residential design is the personal relationships that we have with our clients. The interactive process creates unique and enduring homes reflective of their owners and locations.
What is the most frustrating aspect?
Currently, we find the ever-increasing matrix of regulatory and code-related issues frustrating.
What is your mission statement or firm goal?
Our firm goal is to give every project 100 percent effort to achieve great design and personalized service. We design buildings to last a long time (the ultimate green!), incorporating traditional sensibilities and a modern design approach. Our projects can be both green and beautiful.
What is the most indispensable tool in your office?
Attitude and communication. Positive attitude is key to tackling any issue in design or construction. Good communication is key to managing client expectations.
What software does your firm use?
AutoCAD, SketchUp, 3D Studio Viz, and 3ds Max.
Who is your ideal client?
Our ideal client is active in the design process and feels that their home is the best one we ever did.
What is your favorite building?
The buildings that we are working on are always our favorites.
If you didn't have the time to design your own house, who would you hire?
Although we have tremendous respect for many other architects, it would be hard to name one. We appreciate thoughtful, beautiful design, whether it is cutting-edge modernism or traditional classicism. Buildings that are timeless and age well have the most meaning.

Lying to your mate in that massive, betraying way is oh so wrong
pursuing someone that has a mate is oh so wrong
pursuing someone behind your mates back is oh so wrong
if a marriage doesn't make it..it doesn't make it..that does not make cheating okay... AT ALL
and if you think Jesus is okay with that kind of crap..you are nowhere NEAR enlightened or understanding Jesus and one day you will see that and know the selfishness and the cruelty involved and be and be very ashamed (your hypocrasy is setting this energy up for you..to teach you your tomfoolery..believe me..aboutface now..don't say you were not warned)
ask anyone that ended their marriage in this manner...a few years later and see what they say..they will tell you..if they are humble enough..and honest enough..that even if the marriage needed to end..it was not the way to do it
and about MY marriage you don't know me..you know me from a message board..you don't know my life or my marriage..I have been married since 1987..we have a special needs child...will my marriage make it..I don't know..I am doubtful..the odds are stacked against us at this point..but that is no excuse for infidelity..I personally don't want to be THAT person (and believe me, at first in my anger, I thought I could be, but realized it actually made me sick..made my soul feel sick pursuing life that way)..I NEVER want to be that person..my husband?..well..his journey in that regard is his own..his karma to carry..his soul sickness to heal..my marriage most likely will end one day(but maybe it won't we two have been through hell and high water together)..and I am prepared for that..but it will not be because I committed infidelity..that is not my way..I HATE lying in that way
and to anyone that is acting out in infidelity whether they are married or with a married person..that is their choice..but I warn..it will only bring them shame in the long run. And it will come back to them..
Also..speak to any couple that have survived a long time .if honest they will tell you..they had to cross this river..all do..it's a test..one of life's little tests.to see who are worthy and who are not
some marriages must end,,, but infidelity is no way to do that...it's small and dishonorable and honestly, shameful and not worthy of being brought up when talking of Christ, especially as a way to defend such selfish abhorrant behavior
mark my words
you are young and naive and you don't have children, obviously..
however..maybe you do..it amazes me the selfishness of people..to put themselves before their kids for that crap..butt hey..he devil..he seduces..sometimes he'll even come at you as a beautiful angel..preaching about God,,yet pushing a selfish agenda (and actually believes it themselves, not realizing that maybe they have fallen victim to some evil intent..trying to take them down..test them), defending an obviously selfish and destructive agenda.like infidelity...that any rational mind would recognize as such immediately..but lost in the desire...lost in the fog..lost in the temptation..the devil..he'll seduce yah..later you'll be like 'what was I thinkin?" as you sit in the rubble of the destruction your selfishness..your greed has caused..and the devil will smile
I feel like Cassandra, here
here's a great test..if you really think your relationship is stale..then go to your mate suggestest an one marriage..just hope they don't fidn soimeone else before you..it's so eaqsy to oursue when you've got someone at home..be open...let them pursue, too
or use the conversation to get counceling, maybe
most won't do this..no they'll lie..and cheat..why..because it's selfish..they don't want their mate to have the freedom they are allowing themselves..no they selfishly want their mate to be there for them..even as they are not there for their mate (not realizing this shite becomes addictive and spirals out of control and eventually their partner will find out..and all will pay in the end..much pain will come about..for all involved)
and anyone going out of their way to pursue a married person , whether they are married or not themselves , is really acting like a selfish a-hole. You can tell that by how they all love to say crap like "I couldn;t have done it if the marriage wasn';t faling anyway" it's such a self serving lie4..THEY..their doting bullshite and manipulation is exactly what began the crap in the marriage..all marriages wax and wane..but if a selfish azz comes along ,a t just the right mement..and begins their selfish seduction..I swaer that crap should be made illegal..there;s a special place in hell for people like that,,but that's okay..people that selfish..thye will neve rhave a good long term relationship..and that is lifes little lesson for them..they are too self serving..and will never be truly happy
if you like somebody and their marriage is failing..you stay out of it..it's not your business..if their marriage fails..then so be it..any advice you could give would have a hidden agenda, anyway (trying to break up their marriage for your own selfish pursuits)
it really is totally shameful..douchie..abusive crap
but hey... if you want to defend that crap...for whatever reason you may have....go right ahead
that's on you..I know where I stand on that shite.

After spending much of the season trying to fill vacancies created by injuries, the Nationals are about to get a couple of key veterans back from the disabled list.
Both Chad Tracy and Jayson Werth are expected to be activated off the DL during this week's homestand, with Tracy perhaps joining the active roster as soon as tomorrow.
Werth probably needs a few more days on his rehab assignment with Class AAA Syracuse, though the outfielder (who broke his left wrist on May 6) has begun to swing a hot bat. After going hitless in his first 12 at-bats, he enters tonight's game against Lehigh Valley having reached base in six of his last eight plate appearances with three singles, a double and two walks.
Werth has played seven total games on rehab, and both he and the Nationals prefer he spend a bit more time getting his timing down before he comes off the DL. That move could happen in time for this weekend's four-game series against the Marlins.
Tracy, meanwhile, is 6-for-9 with a homer and three RBI over the last three days with Syracuse. He's appeared in 11 total games withRead more »

Not sure on the word, because I heard differently, that he has become a clubhouse leader… Also, heard that Giants (or any other team) want the Cubs to eat enough of Soriano's salary that they can release him without financial distress. That doesn't make a guy want to accept a trade.
- NatsLady - Jul 31, 2012 at 3:58 AM
Agree that management regards Soriano as an albatross. Not so sure about his teammates.
- NatsLady - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:00 AM
DKnobler @DKnoblerNow that Nationals have MLB's best record, worth noting that a scout who sees entire NL told me today Nats are best team he has seen.Don't let it go to your head, guys–and fans.
- peric - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:02 AM
Bowden is reporting that Soriano himself refused to go to the Giants. You can take Bowden as a reputable source or not … sometimes he is right on the money … he was about the Gio trade which initially upset me quite a bit. Losing all of those prospects really hurt at the time.

- rabbit34 - Jul 31, 2012 at 9:47 AM
When Stras is benched, that will give the FO an excuse for having the Braves overtake the Nats. But, in actuality, it won't change the outcome. The Nats have the team, now, to go all the way. But, not this year. There is still work to be done.

I worked a long day yesterday, finally had time to try to catch up on my favorite baseball blog. I read through 211 posts, almost a third of them from one poster, and a large portion of them were mean spirited, snotty personal attacks against other posters, especially the ladies on this blog. It's quite obvious that this guy doesn't like women. I always cast a wary eye at a man that doesn't like women.

How many players are going to walk around on eggshells today? If your manager or GM even looks at you , you could be leaving or being sent down to make room for a new guy. Speaking of which, has the Tracy/back to AAA situation happened yet?
- Pilchard - Jul 31, 2012 at 7:23 PM
Really dumb of Boswell to try to compare career stats when analyzing the an acquisition in the middle of a pennant race. So, if the Nats convinced Pudge to come out of retirement, would it be valid to compare Pudge's career stats to McCann's to claim that the Nats are as solid behind the plate as Atlanta.Maholm is 9-6 3.74 ERA this year with the crappy Cubs and 1.2 WHIP. In his last 6 starts Maholm has pitched into the 7th in each game and has not given up more than 1 earned run. Yes, Lannan may have been an equal or better pitcher than Maholm in 2009 and 2010, but not now. Really hate when someone who knows better throws out a totally irrelevant stat to try to prove a point. Still like the Nats chances to finish ahead of the Braves, but to try to claim Maholm and Lannan are equals right now is really stupid.Mike Rizzo would take Paul Maholm right now ten times out of ten over Jon Lannan.
