'Hyperion's 49th is a real humdinger … [Second Concerto] Few will be able to resist the tumultous finale. Manze was a shrewd choice of conductor, as was Seta Tanyel as soloist, a pianist whose lyrical grace is matched by a no-holds-barred bravura and an innate sparkle that makes her the preferred choice over the excellent Mats Widlund in the First Concerto (Chandos). The recorded sound is of Hyperion's usual high standard' (Gramophone)
'Wilhelm Stenhammar's two piano concertos are astonishing works, and their neglect outside the composer's native Sweden is shameful. As with much of his output, they derive their complexity and strength from his need to find an individual voice while also staking a claim for a place in the evolving symphonic tradition that includes Beethoven and Brahms. The latter's Second Piano Concerto was Stenhammar's structural starting point in each instance, but while his vast First Concerto (1893) swerves between the enormity of epic and the intimacy of folk song, the taut, embattled Second (1909) places piano and orchestra in terse opposition until the tension is eventually released in one of the most forceful slow movements ever composed. The performances, bigger in scope and scale than any we've heard before, are exceptional. The soloist is Seta Tanyel, formidable in her declamatory intensity and lyrical weight. Andrew Manze, meanwhile, conducts with steely commitment' (The Guardian)
'This is a piece certainly worth having. Seta Tanyel is in full command of the pianistic demands, and Andrew Manze conducts the Helsingborg orchestra with finesse and energy' (The Daily Telegraph)
'Stenhammar's concertos embrace traditional concerto forms with flair and lyricism … charm, virtuosity, melodiousness and drama. Tanyel's fiery vigour is fabulous and the orchestra plays ample tribute to its fellow countryman under the impressive baton of Briton Andrew Manze' (Classic FM Magazine)
'Each piece is a fine, distinctive work, embodying many of the central qualities of this distinguished musician … Splendidly played by the Turkish/Armenian pianist Seta Tanyel and well backed by Andrew Manze' (The Dominion Post, New Zealand)
'Andrew Manze incisively shapes Stenhammar's sonorous woodwind writing, and the Helsingborg Symphony strings boast superior presence and heft' (ClassicsToday.com)
'Tanyel, backed by the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, turns in a wondrous performance… an ear opener that will whet your appetite for more… this set is a winner… Simply tremendous' (Midwest Record Review, USA)
Welcome to a genuinely outstanding disc in the Romantic Piano Concerto series. Sometimes the works found along the unfrequented byways of the Romantic piano tradition can exhibit no more than surface brilliance, but that cannot be said of these two splendid concertos by Stenhammar, recorded for the first time together on one CD. The original orchestration of Stenhammar's Piano Concerto No 1 is recorded here: a version which was long thought lost when the publishers were bombed during the second world war – a copy of the original was discovered in the Library of Congress in 1983. The twenty-two year old's Opus 1 is a masterpiece, majestic and virtuosic at its opening; bringing the listener into a world of Nordic mystery at the start of the third movement; the finale ending with music of sad, reflective sweetness. The second concerto is a distinctly different work, with an novel, some have said 'improvised', structure, and a sense of tension between soloist and orchestra which is only resolved in the glorious virtuosic finale. Hyperion is delighted to present the distinguished musician Andrew Manze in his new incarnation as a conductor. Directing the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, he is truly a force to be reckoned with. Pianist Seta Tanyel has featured on previous RPC recordings, always gaining the highest critical acclaim; however her magnificent playing on this new disc transcends her previous achievements. |

Introduction |
Within Sweden, Wilhelm Stenhammar has long been revered as something of a father figure to twentieth-century Swedish music. His Serenade for orchestra, second symphony and string quartets are deservedly admired pieces and many of his songs, both for solo voice and for choir, are cherished in a country famous for its singing, in particular Sverige (Sweden, Op 22 No 2). Even among his less well-known works, such as the cantatas, piano pieces, violin sonata and incidental music to Chitra, there are many gems to be found. His activities as a composer were often curtailed by a combination of poor health, a periodic lack of confidence and a heavy concert schedule. During his lifetime he was perhaps best known as a performer, both on the piano, often in collaboration with another Swedish musical luminary, the violinist Tor Aulin (18661914) and his string quartet, and on the podium, notably as conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, of which he was artistic director from 1906 to 1922. His enterprising programmes included many Swedish premieres of repertoire we now accept as central but which at the time was a hard sell: music by the likes of Nielsen, Sibelius, Reger and Mahler. Stenhammar programmed his own music only occasionally, perhaps owing to his innate modesty and his tendency to self-criticism, two rather Swedish characteristics that have resulted in his works being far less familiar abroad than they deserve.
As a young man Stenhammar never formally studied compositionthat was to come much later, in 1909, with a vigorous, self-imposed regime of exercises in counterpointbut his debut season in Stockholm shows how early he had acquired a wide range of interests and skills. On 2 February 1892, he played Saint-Saëns virtuosic piano quintet Op 14 with the Aulin string quartet, two weeks later saw the premiere of his first large-scale composition, I rosengården for soprano, tenor, choir and orchestra, and, sandwiched in between, was his concerto debut. The choice of concerto, Brahmss first, Op 15 in D minor, was a significant one. Although Brahms was one of the most famous living composers, this was the concertos first public performance in Sweden, evidence of the young mans adventurous musical appetite. In choosing this very concerto Stenhammar was making both the public statement that he was a Brahms man, rather than a camp follower of the Liszt school of virtuosity, and a private resolution to ally himself with the classical approach to composition, as opposed to the modern way of Wagner and Bruckner. The third way out of the BrahmsLiszt/ classicalmodern dilemma in those days, to explore ones ethnic roots, was taken by some of his Swedish contemporaries, such as Hugo Alfvén and Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, but Stenhammar himself never embraced folk music wholeheartedly. Rather the opposite happened: his music helped to delineate a Nordic, idyllic style. Following his debut season Stenhammar spent a period in Berlin studying the piano before returning to Stockholm to write and perform his first piano concerto. The premiere was on 17 March 1893, in an all-Swedish programme (which included the first performance of Tor Aulins third violin concerto). Although it was far from being his first work (one might mention the exquisite ballad Florez och Blanzeflor, Op 3, 1891, as an early masterpiece), he had it published as his Op 1, thereby drawing attention to its clear Brahmsian credentials. The opening two orchestral chords could easily be (or are maybe intended to be?) mistaken for the opening of Brahmss Tragic Overture Op 81 (1880). This opening gambit is then answered by the soloist, rather as Brahms did in his own second concerto, Op 83. Other Brahmsian touches range from the overall structure (Op 83 also has four movements) and key sequence (the movements are a major third apart: B flat minorF sharp majorD majorB flat minor/major, an exact inversion of the innovative design of Brahms first symphony) to details such as the characteristic cross-rhythm of two against three between the pianists hands (track 1 from 1'20'', for example). But other influences are detectable also, not least that of Saint-Saëns in the second movements elfin lightness. It is hardly surprising that a twenty-two year olds Op 1 is to a certain extent derivative but this concerto is far more than a collage of other mens ideas. With the sublime horn melody at the start of the third movement we are transported to Nordic climes. And is there not something troll-like about the finales opening theme? Then, midway through the finale, the music changes its nature completely (at 6'40''). Stenhammar surprises us with a new mood and melody which, although the listener need not know it, is taken from one of his songs (Lutad mot gärdet, Op 8 No 1). The songs text (by J L Runeberg, 18041877) is worth quoting, since it encapsulates the sad sweetness of Stenhammars early style and of fin-de-siècle Sweden. Leaning on the fence It is with this atmosphere rather than the concertos earlier virtuosity that Stenhammar chose to end his Op 1, a brave move for a fledgling composer. That there was an original voice to be heard here is reflected in the many welcoming reactions the concerto had, both in the press and amongst some of the musical stars of the day who immediately recognized the works pedigree and invited the composer to perform it, notably Richard Strauss, Arthur Nikisch, Karl Muck and Hans Richter. Stenhammar himself only stopped performing the piece in 1909 when he had a second concerto to offer, but other pianists continued to play it for two more decades. After that, fate had other plans for the piece. The years between the first and second concertos saw the launch of Stenhammars conducting career with the premiere of his concert overture Excelsior! Op 13 in 1896. But there were also some failures along the way which precipitated something of a crisis of confidence for Stenhammar the composer. Two unsuccessful operas in the 1890s were followed by a symphony in F major, completed, performed and immediately withdrawn, probably as a reaction to the revelatory experience of encountering Sibeliuss second symphony Op 43 for the first time. It could be said that in working for at least three years to complete the second piano concerto Stenhammar entered his middle period. Any outward similarities between the two concertos (four movements, with the scherzo placed second and the middle two in keys far distant from home) are outnumbered by their different events and the later works novel, some have said improvised, structure. Unlike the first concerto, the second starts in an unsettling way: the pianos tentative opening phrase in D minor is immediately contradicted by the orchestras cellos and basses which pull the key downwards. This tonal tug of war between orchestra and piano becomes the main story and is all the more confusing because the soloist is the one defending the correct key, a lone voice against the orchestras powerful attempts to destabilize it (at 1'34'' in track 5, for example). In a long, unaccompanied paragraph the piano presents a second theme and establishes some tonal security (from 2'04''this passage is a good example of the huge chords Stenhammar requires of both the pianists hands) but the tension between soloist and orchestra about the very key of the piece (traditionally something agreed upon before starting!) runs through the whole of the first two movements. (Listen to the argument during the last half minute of track 5.) The cantabile third movement is in C sharp minor, the key to which the orchestra has been gravitating, and it is only by means of a beautiful and subtle transition that the soloist finally convinces the orchestra to come home to D major for a glorious, virtuosic finale. Any writer on Stenhammar owes a debt to Bo Wallner, whose substantial biography of the composer was published in 1991. That we have the full history of the first piano concerto, however, is thanks to Professor Allan B Ho, to whom I am grateful for the following information, taken from the introduction to his 1993 edition of the original version of the concerto and from private correspondence. The concerto was published in 1894 by Hainauer of Breslau (modern Wroclaw) in the sense that a version for two pianos was printed and sold whereas the one manuscript score in existence was only available for hire, together with a set of orchestral parts. In the spring of 1945, during the fourteen-week siege of Breslau by the Russian army, Hainauers stock of music was destroyed and Stenhammars score and parts, at that time thought to be unique, literally went up in smoke. After the war, the composers widow Helga Stenhammar asked Kurt Atterberg to resurrect the lost concerto by reorchestrating it from the two-piano version, using a combination of his memory of the sound of the original, his intimate knowledge of Stenhammars style and his own considerable skill. Atterbergs new version differs from Stenhammars original in several major, and countless minor ways, but it is an effective reconstruction, far more than a better-than-nothing version. Premiered in 1946 and recorded in 1977, it remains in circulation but has not been heard often since the early 1990s, because Allan Ho, in his words, stumbled on a second copy of the composers original score in the USA. My doctoral dissertation was on a host of Romantic piano concertos, so in 1983 I was at the Library of Congress [in Washington D.C.] photocopying parts of many scores. I photocopied just a few excerpts of the Stenhammar first piano concerto at that time. I knew immediately that it was different from what I had heard on the Sterling recording of the Atterberg reconstruction but, having accepted Bo Wallners and others declarations that the original was lost, I didnt at the time realize the significance of this discovery It was located in the regular closed stacks, as nothing more important than any other music score. After some detective work Allan Ho produced two possible odysseys for the score, knowing that it had passed through the hands of a Berlin antiquarian music dealer, Leo Liepmannssohn, in 1904. Stenhammar studied in Berlin during 18923 and no doubt hatched the idea for the concerto there. He was in Berlin again in 1894 to perform it, so it is possible that there was a copy of the score which passed to the Library of Congress via Liepmannssohn. Alternatively, Hainauer may have produced a copy so that the concerto could receive its US premiere (in New York on 1 March 1898) without risking the original score on a trans-Atlantic journey or losing the possibility of further performances while it was out of European circulation. The soloist at that US premiere was the German pianist Franz Rummel who, soon after, moved to Berlin. Did the score travel back with him? He died in 1901 and his American widow moved back to settle in Washington D.C. Thence to the Library of Congress? QED? We may never know but we should rejoice that, thanks to Professor Ho, we have Stenhammars Op 1 back intact. It is that original version which is presented here, in the hope that both Stenhammars fine concertos will continue their worldwide travels by means of this recordingwithout further mishap.

New York landowners file lawsuit against Cuomo over fracking delay
Two weeks ago, the landowners coalition sent a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo demanding the release of the environmental impact study on hydrofracking, known as the SGEIS . The deadline was Thursday, February 13 and Scott Kurkoski, a lawyer for the coalition, filed the promised lawsuit the following day.
"Is he in favor of this or not? Because the rest of the nation is moving forward in a way that is providing energy independence," Kurkoski said. "Is New York a threat to that process?"
Regulators in Albany started the review process almost six years ago. For the past 15 months, it has been under an additional review by the Department of Health.
Dan Fitzsimmons is President of the Joint Landowners Coalition of New York. Fitzsimmons says the governor has delayed the report purely for political reasons.
"It's time that Albany stops the nonsense that's been going on. They've affected the landowner's rights. They've affected our lives. And this nonsense needs to end now," Fitzsimmons said.
Isaac Silberman-Gorn, from the anti-fracking group Citizen Action of New York, says speculating about Governor Cuomo's political motives is just that, speculation.
"We have every reason to believe that the governor is actually doing his due diligences by looking at the health effects of this heavy industry," said Silberman-Gorn.
Silberman-Gorn says the lawsuit won't be taken seriously in Albany and it's nothing more then a PR stunt.
Kurkoski and the landowners are requesting a March 7 hearing in Albany.

Research thoroughly or buy a LL package on a impulse?
Do you research your travel possibilities and options thoroughly before purchasing a LL package or bidding on an LL auction?
OR, have you ever won an auction based on an impulse bid, on a whim, all of a sudden? And if so, how did it turn out?
oh yeah--great question!!!
we're so fortunate to go for some of the oddball exotic mystery auctions due to our flt benefits. I've grabbed a few choice pkgs strictly on the basis of getting there--and a few because no one bid at all!
I try to find the new ones that haven't gone up in price yet. It is getting more and more difficult to find the super bargains now that LL is more popular all over the globe.
We also have the luxury (pun intended) of dropping out of an auction that starts to get too much action for my budget for the same reason--we don't HAVE to go (a few I wished I'd kept up but likely would have skyrocketed past my set price)
I am working every day to find the right combo for our next long trip--Asia or Africa end October. C'mon LL--more pkgs, please!!!!!!! New ones would be very nice!"wherever you go, there you are"
I have gotten LL packages both ways. They all turned out being great deals. It is why LL is my "go to" discoount site before checking the others.
Shy ~
The reason I ask..........
I just bid & won an auction to a place that wasn't on my radar at all, a place I had not thought about going to, not because it's an exotic location, just hadn't entered my mind until I saw the auction and the facility. And the deciding & most influential factor for me on the property was its long shelf life - available until 9/30/12. So on an impulse I bid and was the only one. I'd love to see more properties with a longer shelf life.
In fact that's one thing I like so much about LL compared to the many other sites springing up like Jetsetter, Snique Away, etc. With those other sites you have to know your exact dates when you buy it. With LL, I love the fact that you buy it and can later work out your dates within certain timeframes.
It's not a trip I was planning at all but i bought it on a whim because:
- it looks like a nice property
- it was a good price
- and I'll have plenty of time to figure it.
I'd love to hear from others who bought something on an impulse & how it worked out for you.
when we started with LL, I would only bid on properties when I knew the specific time frame that I would use it. Now, I purchase interesting properties - often ones I have never heard of prior to seeing them on LL - for future use. I usually have at least one in the future "hopper" that we then research the area and plan a trip around. It is fun going to new places. It has gotten us out of the "tried and true" rut when taking a trip.
Shy ~
I usually look for a region and then might plan a trip around the spot. For example, I am looking at South America and Greece. If a great package comes up, I'll bid on it and then put the pieces together. So far, it has worked out wonderfully for us! Our trip in March to the Chilean desert is a great example. I don't think this was on my radar but when the package to Awasi came up, I bid and won...what an amazing trip! Lots of fun to be surprised!!!
so....where are you going?!!!
Well, as I've said it's no place exotic. And I often travel with a group of friends so I'm interested in properties that accommodate large groups.
The long shelf life on this property was also key because we have some extended family health issues going on that prevent my husband & I from traveling this year.
The property is..........
The Montana Sky Lodge
Montana Sky Lodge in Anaconda, Montana - Lodge & Ranch Travel Deals | Luxury Link
Well, come to think of it, I did make an impulse buy not long ago--I saw a mystery auction for Siam Kempinksi Bangkok. Called my niece who was wanting to go on one of our passes (alone) so I invited myself (after I already started bidding) Good thing she said yes!
With my GC it was such as steal--we had a 700ft2 suite w/massive marble bath, pool walkout and terrace. It was stunning! Champagne, club privs--more than I ever expected for less than I expected to pay! our 3 course dinner ended up being 7 courses of 3 small dishes each on an incredible fusion tasting menu. The pkg came out to about $400 for 4 nts and perks!"wherever you go, there you are"
We maintain a well researched list of destinations we plan to visit...if something pops up on a Luxury Link auction, we're usually ready to buy (Ecuadorian Amazon - Kapawi Lodge was a good example). On the other hand, we have bought on impulse with no prior research (the first time The Cliffs in Patagonia was offered we knew we wanted it....bonniejoy03 jumped in before us and bought, but we purchased within a day or two when it was offered again. We happened to be on an extended trip at the time of the offering and it was difficult to do any real research.....so we just hit 'buy' and never looked back).
We have also pondered too long on a couple of packages, thinking we would buy at a later offering....example, Aqua Expeditions was offered only a couple of times and we procrastinated and totally 'missed the boat.'- Ω -

Was really looking forward to our
special evening at Pistou for a special birthday, but I can't tell you about the food, the ambience nor the service since the doors were locked, the lights were out and nobody even bothered to put a sign on the door when we showed up for our reservation booked on the Pistou website via Open Table. I'd still love to try this restaurant, but only after what would need to be an awfully good explanation for literally shutting us out in the cold. I gave single stars only because this form required that area to be completed."

This was out second reservation in
6 weeks. Loved this place the first time, even though the bartender completely ignored us while we were waiting for our table. Made reservations for President's week, they took my credit card info to secure the reservation and we showed up as scheduled...only to find out they're closed for business. Not even so much as a phone call to tell us. We have to find out when we showed up. That's bush league. Probably won't ever go back even if they do reopen. Poor business people."

We got the 4-course tasting menu.
Everything was delicious and interesting, especially the impeccably cooked strip steak with a light truffle sauce. I was a bit surprised, however, at how long we spent waiting between courses...the overall experience took about two hours - not crazy, but longer than I like to spend at dinner. The portions were also rather modest...I wouldn't say I left hungry,, but I definitely could have used another serving of that tasty steak. I'll go back when I have some time to kill and a smaller appetite (and the $ 50 for the tasting menu)."

If you have dietary restrictions
this is perhaps not the best restaurant for you. The menu is limited and much of the food is prepped in advance. However, the menu is creative and interesting, portions are small though. The steak was good, the fish less spectacular. The wine list is ambitious with many high priced obscure bottles. The music was Hendrix and too loud, but overall the atmosphere was very nice and comfortable. The service was good, although our check arrived just as we were served coffee even though there was nobody waiting for a table."

Last Saturday was our first time
at Pistou. We'd heard wonderful comments about the restaurant and were not disappointed. The wine list is very sophisticated, the food fresh and creative , the service very attentive. I chose two of the small plates, one was a carrot dish followed by a fantastick home made pasta . They offered a delicious bubbly called Cremont. I love smaller restaurants which include a bar. This restaurant has it all ."

(Please see my review dated
12/21/13.) Our visit this time included an additional family of 4 with two children under the age of 12. The restaurant & staff where very accomodating with the dining needs of the children. Each of them enjoyed their meals, while the adults were able to enjoy another excellent tasting menu experience with wines."

Not sure if first complaint is
with Pistou or Open Table, but when I tried to book for 7 PM, my only choices were 6:30 and 7:30 (it was blacked out for 6:45, 7, 7:15). 7:30 was too late as we had plans to see a show and I knew 6:30 would be tough. So I rushed really hard to make the 6:30 reservation and called from the car when we were 5-10 minutes late to ensure our table was still avail. So you can imagine our surprise when we arrived at 6:40 and only one other table had people at it. In fact from the time we got there til we left at 8:30 only ours and two other tables were occupied. MUSIC: REALLY CHEESY-80'S SOFT ROCK. Did not match attempted ambiance at all. WINE LIST ABSURDLY OVERPRICED. FOOD - MEDIOCRE AT BEST, TOO MUCH BUTTER."
Dined on 1/14/2014
Bread . Bread is life, anywhere
you go bread is included ( or included in your price ) I was shocked to find out you would charged for bread. Do you know for sure Charlie Trotter would charge for bread ? Did he ? Just offer bread, it will give people a sense of belonging to the human race."

The folks at Pistou are clearly
trying hard and producing beautiful food. But, our dinner was more a series of lovely garnishes than a meal. It was more like spending a (very expensive) evening in a food art gallery than a restaurant. Unfortunately, we will not return nor recommend to friends."
Dined on 12/28/2013
It was cold when we arrived, but
the staff turned up the heat and it became comfortable. We weren't the only ones keeping our coats on. The food was good. It is a romantic setting. A little expensive though."

I would highly recommend the
tasting menu with wine pairings, as it is one of the best deals in town. ($70/person) Our meal included two small plates: peekytoe crab with sunchoke ice cream (amazing blend of warm & cold) and squash gnocchi (very savory). The main was two huge scallops, seared to perfection with crispy prosciutto & a celeriac puree. (My wife called it a little slice of heaven...). Dessert was a very nice apple, cream cheese tart. The wine pairings were fun & spot on. The staff are friendly & knowledgeable. If you are in Burlington, please go, you will not be disappointed."

It is not often that one can try a
squash gnocchi appetizer, a main dish of octopus tentacle or an eggplant with chocolate dessert and for this type of risk taking and creativity the chef must be complimented. The food is excellent and lovingly prepared though portions are small and choices (changes daily) are limited. Somewhat annoying is the fact that one is asked to order bread and butter for a $4 charge (albeit for the home churned butter) and a disquieting incident over wine took a bit away from the overall dining experience. Yet this is a neighborhood restaurant that should be supported for trying new approaches and unusual combinations and deserves to succeed."

My wife and I ate here prior to a
Flynn show. It is convenient to the theater and we had excellent food, wine and service. We will make this a regular spot for dining. It was our first visit."

Heads Pistou; Tails
restaurant>. We were lucky it fell on Heads. We had one of the most pleasant and delicious meals in quite a while… and we're from Montreal. Food was simply outstanding; the wine list is quite impressive for Burlington. The portions were adequate; not huge, but what a reasonable person should eat. The desert was creative, and also of the finest ingredients. Decidedly, a place we recommend to anyone going through Burlington."
Dined on 11/7/2013
A friend who is a terrific chef in
NYC worked with Max, the owner/head chef of Pistou, and she highly recommended his restaurant on our recent visit. It turned out to be the highlight of our trip. It was a freezing night and the restaurant was warm and welcoming before food came out. The set chef's menu was stellar, particularly the grilled octopus and kale caesar (don't yawn, this one's special!) salads and a stunning, buttery cacio e pepe. My salmon with fennel broth was hearty and a generous portion. The wine list is truly special, with rare, well-priced finds from Sicily and renegades from the Loire. Service is friendly and unpretentious, and the open kitchen, big windows, and dark den make it perfect for a comforting treat."
Dined on 10/25/2013
We had a wonderful dinner...but
the restaurant needs a few tweaks to make it perfect. The food is excellent; very well prepared and met every expectation. On the downside, the restaurant appears to have a no bread policy. This might be a new trend -- but it would have been nice as the food is cooked to order which (expectedly) takes a little time. The other negative point is the wine list; it's a great selection but there are only 2-3 (so-so) wine choices for less than $100 bottle; the list has very good choices but all priced well above $125. They have a limited selection of wines by the glass in the $10 range that are decent but not exceptional. Other than that, a good experience -- and again, the food was excellent."
Dined on 11/2/2013
I'd heard raves about Pistou for
years and finally got there for a pre-Flynn Theatre concert dinner with a friend. The ambience was quiet, intimate and warm. The evening's menu had a wide range of delicious-sounding options. We decided to share two of the small plates and one entrée and weren't disappointed. The scallops and leeks, as well as the roasted cauliflower were wonderful and the duck with black rice, beets and Brussels sprouts was divine! In addition, the server's wine suggestion was excellent."
Dined on 11/2/2013
We had tried to get into Pistou in
May of 2013 after reading a wondeful review in Vermont magazine. Due to the number in our party and the fact that it was graduation weekend we were unsuccesful. On our recent trip we were more succesful, and we were very pleased. It was a little rough start but by the time we ordered a drink things seemed to flow better. When we walked in we were greeted but told someone would be right with us, it ws not crazy busy, but we were fine with it. We waited for a few minutes before the waitress came back to seat us. She walked us to our table and walked away, strange. We sat, and sat and sat, finally after 5 minutes our waiter appeared. The waitstaff seemed to struggle all night but the food was amazing!"
Dined on 11/3/2013
Everything was fresh and local,
prepared with a great attention to detail. Lots of vegetarian options. Loved the options for wines by the glass. Highlights were the octopus and scallops. Dessert was also really good (baked apple)."
Dined on 11/2/2013
Our trip to Pistou was
outstanding. Every dish was delightful. We have eaten in numerous Michelin Star restaurants in Europe and the US and the food at Pistou compares well to any of these. The food stacks up to the best New York has to offer. The delicate flavors of vegetables are always enhanced by how they are prepared and what is served with them. The fish is perfectly cooked to keep it moist. While I don't like octopus, people rave about it. I prefer the homemade pasta -- on this occasion the cavatelli served with a lamb ragout. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone. Also, the wines are well selected and not expensive."
Dined on 11/2/2013
The small space of Pistou creates
an intimate environment, not only for diners looking for a romantic or familial experience, but also for those who love the personal experience of great food served with care and attention. My group of 3 was smart enough to try the chef's tasting menu; what followed was a detailed journey into the chef's love of food; for days we recommended the restaurant to everyone who would listen. What a great find in northern Vermont. We will be back!"
Dined on 9/13/2013
Amazing food, modern comfortable
ambience,quiet safe location off of the beaten path. You should definitely visit this place of you haven't yet. The white fish is always delicious!"
Dined on 10/27/2013
This place is a gem. We all
ordered the Chef's Choice.. I highly recommend that . The wines were different ( very little California) but out standing and reasonably priced."
Dined on 10/16/2013
Just an example: the Cod. Why
order such a fish in the heart of Vermont? But il was so fresh: perfect. But the surprise was the cooking 'À l'unilatérale' which means only 'on one side' So you get a crispy side and a full thickness of bright, moist and delicate flesh rather than 2 crispy sides with a dry centre! In entree the grilled octopus was terrific! Both with special seasoning... This restaurant must retains his chef for a long time to go: the cooking of sea gems is not so easy..."
Dined on 10/11/2013
My husband and I had a wonderful
dinner at Pistou. We found the restaurant to have a wonderful ambience -- intimate and romantic. The food was sensational and the service was attentive and professional. All in all, a very special dining experience."
Dined on 10/10/2013
We like to share a bottle of wine
with our meal, but almost every bottle on the list was more than $100, with the cheapest being $50! So we opted for a glass each at $22 for the two glasses - the stingiest serving of wine I've ever been served. So if you like your meal without wine or if you don't mind paying more for your wine than your food, by all means go to Pistou. Otherwise, avoid it."
Dined on 10/10/2013
Fresh and very well prepared.
Service knowledgeable, pleasant, prompt. Ambiance pleasant and straightforward; a little dark for 60 year old eye, but not distracting as much as a detriment to an otherwise wonderful dinner. Very nice french wines."
Dined on 10/5/2013
I loved everything I tried. The
menu was local, fresh, and adventurous. My college age daughter and her friends were forced to be a little braver in ordering than they might have been elsewhere."

Intimate setting with great food.
Mackerel with beets was delicious as were the cod brandade and cavatelli. Nice wine list."

My wife and I had dinner before a
show, overall very good. French style portions, prix fixe 2-course dinner, my entree was not quite hot enough, but absolutely delicious. Panna Cotta desert was amazing."
Dined on 9/21/2013
Limited prix fix menu - but the
food was outstanding, Would like to have had a vegetarian option for the main course choices."
Dined on 9/20/2013
My husband and I each had a
starter and main. Neither starter made us say 'yum' I can't get enought of this, and of the two mains, only one was memorable. The second main was a very tough steak. when you only do 3 starters and 3 mains each night, they each should really shine, so we were a bit let down."
Dined on 9/13/2013
Fine service, unique entrees &
intimate yet energetic ambience. Especially enjoyed the grilled octopus appetizer and blueberry pane cotta dessert = Outstanding!"
Dined on 9/13/2013
This was my first time here. The
concept described on their webpage sounded interesting, and I was intrigued to try it for myself. First of all, the price for what you are getting, is a deal. Second, the food was amazing. Everything looked beautiful, and tasted even better. Even though I opted to have beer, their wine list is extensive. Pistou is the best place I have had a meal in the state of Vermont. Tasting this food reminded me why I cook."
Dined on 9/12/2013
We thought the food was very good,
however it was very overpriced for a 4 course tasting menu that included relatively small plates. For Burlington Vermont, the price of the meal exceeded the quality of the food. Coming from manhattan we have had other chef tasting menus for $40 that include 9-11 small courses and were each extremely delicious. Specifically we were not blown away by the steak but we really enjoyed the pasta and potatoes with anchovies. Overall if the meal had cost us $150 (with a bottle of wine and tip) instead of $180 I would have felt that the experience was worth the price."
Dined on 9/1/2013
The menu is short, but everything
was perfect! There were three options for each course and since there were two of us we ruled out the most most familiar. and enjoyed it all. Our biggest issue was that while being very well versed in New World wines, a french list is truly a foreign language. We talked with our server and came up with the perfect paring. Radish & butter appetizer took be back to my childhood. Pistou uses simple ingredients, but turns out impressive dishes. We will go back!"
Dined on 6/8/2013
At first,we were concerned that it
only had Prix -Fixe. Padron Peppers, Wow! They were as good/better than those in Spain. We were willing to go back the next night just to eat these again. The pork belly was very flavorful and extremely tender. I am not a lover of fat, but I ate every bite of the smooth textured pork. I ordered the scallop. Normally, I would be concerned about the portion, but considering the quality of the food, I didn't mind in the least. It was soft and glistening, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. My husband ordered the tomato ricotta tart, which was a much larger portion and was equally outstanding. I ordered a chicken which was ridiculously tender, even the breast.. The hake was moist, fabulous fresh taste."
Dined on 7/25/2013
Pistou was a fun and enjoyable
dinner. You really get the sense of a true "farm-to-table" concept here. Between the two of us we had 7 different dishes (prix fixe menu, an appetizer from the bar menu, and two desserts), and 5 of them were great. Appetizers were all fantastic. Our entrees were unimaginative; they consisted of a protein (cooked perfectly in both cases) and a mix of sauteed or roasted vegetables, which were clearly fresh and well prepared but didn't really come together as a dish that made sense. The plates needed something else to pull it all together. We had an outstanding dessert, which we didn't really expect and was a nice surprise. I would go back since the menu is always changing and most of the dinner was great."
Dined on 8/4/2013
Pistou is a small and relatively
new restaurant in Burlington. The classically trained chef, Max, presented some refreshing takes on old favorites: a lighter and more refined brandade, a delicious gazpacho with cucumber and burrata, and a maple-flavored panna-cotta. The restaurant scene in western Vermont is gaining momentum and Pistou will be among the leaders."

It is the policy of VYSA that all travel players registered with VYSA are responsible for making payments required in writing by their clubs and/or teams. Accordingly, VYSA will not process a transfer of a player from one club/team to another during the seasonal year if that player is not current on his or her financial obligations, provided that (1) the financial obligation is set forth in writing and acknowledged by the player's family, and (2) the obligation is for the current seasonal year.
For purposes of this policy, any written financial obligation signed by the player's family will be sufficient, including a financial obligation set forth in an electronic registration document and acknowledged electronically at the time of registration.
This policy does not apply to a player who changes clubs or teams between seasonal years.
In the event that a club or team objects to a transfer by a player during or between seasons due to failure to make required payments, the club or team must, within three business days of the transfer request, submit to the VYSA office an email to firstname.lastname@example.com objecting to the transfer. Failure to notify VYSA, could result in VYSA approving the release of the player. VYSA will notify the family that the transfer is being held until payment is made. A club or team must notify VYSA immediately upon payment (within two business days) to release the transfer request. In the event that VYSA determines a club or team has placed a hold on a transfer in bad faith, the club or team may be sanctioned.
2. Involuntary Release of Player for Failure to Meet Financial Obligations
If a player fails to meet his or her financial obligations pursuant to a written obligation, a club or team may involuntarily release the player at any time during the seasonal year, provided that the team has followed the process as outlined in the VYSA Travel Team Registration Manual (5.27).
If you have any questions, please ask your registrar for assistance; or contact the VYSA State Office.

2nd bridge blast date up in airMarch 28, 2013, 9:30 pm by Adam Troxtell A second implosion to demolish the two remaining concrete pillars that used to support the steel truss of the old US 281 bridge is expected to occur next week now that a revised blast plan has been submitted to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The new plan drawn up by general contractor Archer Western and subcontractor Omega Demolition Corporation is currently being reviewed by TxDOT after it was given to the state agency Wednesday afternoon. Pending approval, a second set of explosives will be used to remove two concrete pillars in Lake Marble Falls, tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 4.

The annual open enrollment for Medicare Advantage plans opened earlier this week, and the West Virginia State Health Insurance Assistance Program is advising all seniors to take a second look at their existing plans.
Marcia Meeks, director of WV SHIP, said although Medicare Advantage providers are required to notify customers of any changes in the policy, changes sometimes can still slip by unnoticed. Year-to-year, Advantage plans often change their premiums, co-pays and the list of prescriptions covered under the plan.
"Even if they're happy with their plan, I strongly encourage them to look at it every year," she said.
Information about Medicare Advantage plans can be found at www.medicare.gov, but WV SHIP provides free and confidential counseling to help seniors sort through the often-confusing process of picking a Medicare Advantage plan.
Meeks said seniors can receive assistance over the phone or in person. SHIP has counselors located around the state. Though it's best to call and make an appointment, walk-ins are also welcome.
Seniors need only bring their Medicare card and a list of current medications. SHIP counselors do the rest, looking at each of the available plans and helping customers decide which would best suit their individual needs.
Medicare recipients must make the final decision on whether to switch plans, but SHIP counselors only help them make more informed decisions.
"One plan may not be appropriate for both a husband and wife," she said.
Meeks said she recently helped a man save $1,200 on his yearly premiums while keeping the same level of insurance, just by switching plans.

Record through your MacBook's headphone jack
All of Apple's computers feature a headphone jack or sound output of some kind, but only a few of them offer a recording input. The iMac includes one, as well as the 15-inch MacBook Pro and the Mac Pro desktop, but you won't find one on the MacBook Air, Retina MacBook Pro, or the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
So what's an audio geek to do (aside from invest in a decent USB sound card)?
Well, in the case of the 13-inch MacBook Pro (old and new), Apple includes the option of a switchable audio port than can be used as either an input or an output. Most people (myself included) see the headphone logo on the side and assume the audio spits out in just one direction. Not so.
To make the switch happen, go into your system preferences and select the control panel for Sound. At the bottom of the window, you'll see a drop-down menu for "Use audio port for." Switch it up, adjust the input level slider above it, and you're all set.
Another quick way to set this is to hold down the Option key while clicking on the volume slider on the desktop's menu bar. You'll get instant access to your audio port settings.
