Another reason classical music is not reaching more young people: not because of how it sounds, but because of how it looks.

Ambitious new string quartets seem to be appearing on the classical landscape faster than condos on the Manhattan skyline. Many of them, like the vigorous Attacca Quartet, are embracing contemporary music.

It is almost the end of term and the report cards are due. With only a couple of weeks to go before the season&#39;s end, some (Tim Henman) are still busting their buttons to earn their gold star

It's a rare talent that would make Mstislav Rostropovich feel second-rate in comparison. Dmitri Shostakovich had it.

Tycho:   The foe revealed, Armadeaddon is now almost complete.  Monday will see the promised epilogue, so at this point you have very nearly survived the ordeal.  We have endeavored these past weeks to reward the true "enthusiast," that man or woman who, brow heavy, has faced such cruel abuse at our hand for the last seven years.  It is apparently our policy to honor such dedication one every decade.    Since it was announced a couple days ago, the revelation that MS would be actively courting the hardcore boardgame player is something I've thought about almost constantly.  It may be that you weren't aware there was such a thing as a hardcore player of boardgames if your last experience with the context was playing Sorry! with your sister when you were eight.  Things have progressed.   There's a million experiences in this space I could use to lure you in, but one company in particular - Days of Wonder has already decided to make electronic variants of their tabletop crack, so they occupy a twilight space between the worlds.  I hope they see an opportunity to take their (already completed!) games over to the 360, or that Microsoft offers them a locked case containing an unspecified amount of untraceable U.S. Currency, because I'd love to see this prescient move by MS turn into a new era.   Days of Wonder makes a game called Shadows Over Camelot that could quickly become a dangerous obsession, obscuring biological realities with a single-minded focus on grails.  Well, grail I guess.  There's just the one.    But it's a completely cooperative boardgame, so every player is working toward the same goals - fighting back invasions, questing, all of it.  Except there might be a traitor in the group, determined by a hidden draw, who tries to derail the effort.  He's not always there, but the potentiality of that nefarious force can create unbelievable social tension.    The gaming table's fixed coordinate in space is its asset and its obstacle - managing space and time is actually the primary challenge of any gaming group, as opposed to banishing necromancers, though that also ranks up there.  Boardgames are so rich in design that, when one of these gets dropped in front of them on Live, I think many gamers will be shocked at their sophistication.    My thumbs hurt.  (CW)TB out.

Well, at least that one's out of the way. Happened pretty quick, too. Turns out the Americans can't play singles very well, either.

Vel has a drab musical score by Yuvan Shankar Raja, for whom consistency has never been a strong point. His outputs have always been a medley of the good and the mediocre. And now Vel joins the below average bandwagon.
