  1. The accordion holds a lofty place

    MOST people think of the accordion, if they think of it at all, as a social instrument, wheezing out polkas and folk tunes. The sound of it brings to mind French cafes, Mexican plazas, German beer gardens, Argentine nightclubs. Nick Ariondo, perhaps the premier accordionist in Los Angeles, notes that the instrument's portability and its ability to play "everything: melody, chords and accompaniment" have made it popular all over the world.

  2. Tranquillity base

    Sometimes a person needs to hunker down in a place that dwarfs headlines and silences cell phones. You don't have to be a survivalist to understand that, though I did think about renting a Hummer to make me invincible on a trip earlier this month to Death Valley National Park, about 300 miles northeast of L.A.

  7. Orpheus and violinist Anne Akiko Meyers give Barber robust, sensitive reading

    Lehigh Valley Music presents FESTBLOG
    Performing with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Anne Akiko Meyers produced a wonderfully lean yet burnished sound which was ideal for conveying Samuel Barber’s rich, sophisticated lines. It’s tempting to give credit to the violin, but the...

  8. The Hartford Symphony Orchestra Performs Symphonie Fantastique, Jan. 10-13 at the Bushnell

    France, Russia, the good ole U.S.A.: composers from all over the place struggled to write symphonies in Ludwig Van Beethoven's (1770-1827) formidable shadow. On Thursday, the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, led by Carolyn Kuan (pictured), kick off 2013 with the performance of one overwhelmingly successful approach: Hector Berlioz's <em>Symphonie Fantastique</em>, a programmatic five-movement work strung together by an <em>id&eacute;e fixe</em>, a musical idea that runs through the work, shape-shifting along the way. Also on the bill are Samuel Barber's virtuosic, jazzy <em>Concerto for Violin and Orchestra</em>, performed by the HSO and guest violinist Alexander Kerr, and Russian composer Sergei Rachmoninoff's <em>Vocalise</em>, an unusual, wordless ditty from his <em>Fourteen Songs</em> of 1912.

  10. Britannia rules as CSO performs Britten and Walton works

    During the same season in which the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is making a big bicentenary splash on behalf of Richard Wagner, attention must be paid a couple of other composer anniversaries. Thursday night's subscription program, ably conducted by Charles Dutoit, reminded the audience of two worthy British honorees from the 20th century, Benjamin Britten and William Walton.
