Q&A: Metropolitan GM Peter Gelb Dishes Stats on Live Opera Broadcasts
Stung by Yundi's Erratic "Flight of the Bumblebee?" Yuja Wang, Mnozil Brass Will Give You a Better Buzz!
If it's high-speed pianism you want to hear, you could do worse than to watch some videos of another Chinese pianist: Yuja Wang. Her rock-solid technique lets her fingers fly at near-hummingbird frequencies, while staying completely in control. Quickies: Mayor DeBlasio on the Arts, Electric Andrés Segovia, Wynton Marsalis/Drew Faust, American Ballet's Kevin McKenzie, Twelfth Night Fest at Trinity Wall St.
Honestly, how often should we expect New York City's brand new mayor--Bill DeBlasio, a Park Slope Democrat--to go to the Met?
