Esfahani’s recital turned out to be a blend of probing and often luxuriant playing, beset by a host of ill-considered notions about how to frame a solo performance. The appeal of Esfahani’s programming choices, which ranged from music by the Renaissance master William Byrd to works of Lou Harrison and Steve Reich, soon paled as it became clear that he’d assembled a semi-random collection of pieces with no relationship to one another. A program billed to go 75 minutes without intermission wound up rambling on for more than two hours... Читать дальше...

Rosemary (Jessica Wortham) is the kind of person who insults harder when she loves more; who in one moment is as uncomplicated as a wild animal in her ruthlessness, while in the next can joke wryly about her loneliness and her thoughts of suicide, as if observing herself from a great distance. In other words, she’s a typical construction of John Patrick Shanley, the Oscar-, Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning writer known for characters who are both complex and disarmingly forthright about their complexity.

(AP) — When Christa Savva returned to the Sandy Shoes Beach Resort a day after Hurricane Matthew brushed by Melbourne Beach, Florida, she looked at the beach in front of the pink-flamingo-colored hotel and noticed that half the sand dunes had disappeared. Savva guesses three-quarters of the missing dunes washed into the ocean, and the remaining quarter scattered onto the resort's beachfront property, which was undamaged by the hurricane.

CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) — Federal officials say it's too early to tell if an increase in the size of no-wake zones for boaters at a wildlife refuge in southwest Idaho had a positive effect on a bird that nests in shallow water.

The no-wake zones try to balance recreation for humans with the refuge's responsibility to help wildlife, De Knijf said.
