Extractions: Last Updated: April 4, 2004, 08:25:41 AM PDT Legendary performer Rita Moreno, star violinist Anne Akiko Meyers and celebrated cellist Zuill Bailey are among the guest artists who will appear with the Modesto Symphony Orchestra next season. The 2004-05 season is organized around the theme of a symphonic passport, said conductor Darryl One. Each concert will focus on a different region or culture. "It's a trip around the world," One said. Moreno starts the ball rolling Sept. 11 with a Picnic at the Pops performance. The 72-year-old actress ("West Side Story," "The King and I") is the only female performer to have won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Tony, a Grammy and a Golden Globe. Her Modesto performance is titled "Hot Latin Nights"; the program will be announced later. Meyers, the biggest classical name on the season schedule, will perform Henri Wieniawski's Violin Concerto No. 2 in D Minor in February at the "Slavic Adventures" program. She is one of the most sought-after violinists performing today and has forged a successful recording career.

The Noise Rating Index is a partially-objective measurement of pager and handphone blasts, 9pm and 10pm watch beeps, coughing-during-the-pianissimo-bits, intra-audience conversation and other mind-bogglingly inept noises emitted in the concert hall during actual performance of music. It is measured on a scale of to 5, in increasing annoyance. This review has been kindly sponsored by the Singapore Symphonia Co. Ltd by Chia Han-Leon Well, that must have been the mellowest rendition of the Coriolan Overture I've ever heard. I was rather surprised that Beethoven could be made to sound so honey-smooth. Though the Hong Kong Philharmonic clearly showcased the ability of their individual sections to play with great precision and skill, I found that the blank picture they drew of

Extractions: Excerpted from Strings magazine, March 2004, No. 117 Daring Duos Triple-CD set captures excellent sonata pairings By Edith Eisler Brahms: The Duo Sonatas for Violin, Clarinet, Cello, and Piano . Christian Tetzlaff, violin, Sabine Meyer, clarinet, Boris Pergamenschikow, cello. Lars Vogt, piano. Three CDs (EMI Classics, 5-57524-2; 5-52525-2; 5-57526-2) Recorded live at the 2002 Heimbach Chamber Music Festival, this three-CD set brings together four superb artists whose traversal of all the Brahms sonatas (plus some Schumann and Berg) combines technical and ensemble perfection with the inspired spontaneity attainable only in live performance. Lars Vogt, the festival's artistic director, is a strong, empathetic partner throughout, though the recorded balance sometimes favors the piano and exaggerates dynamic contrasts. Boris Pergamenschikow's playing of the cello sonatas is distinguished by its stately austerity and concentrated expressiveness. His tone is dark, warm, sonorous, and pure; his style is aristocratic, combining long, flowing lines with leisurely phrasing and loving attention to detail. The first sonata is somber, passionate, and serene, with enough time to make every note count; the second movement lilts, the fugue is clear. The second sonata goes from exuberance to mystery and courtly grace. Schumann's "Fantasy Pieces" are lovely, but the "Romances," originally for oboe, sound uncomfortable on the cello; unlike the Adagio and Allegro for horn, this is surely not the composer's own transcription. A Brahms song as an encore sings warmly.

The core of the series continues to be the concerts (all at 8 p.m.) at La Jolla's Neurosciences Institute, which donates the use of its 352-seat auditorium to Mainly Mozart. On Jan. 23, clarinetist Victoria Luperi will be joined at the institute by violinist Ida Levin, cellist Anne Williams and pianist Diane Walsh for a program of music by Mozart, Hindemith, Berg and Brahms. On Feb. 21, flutist Wincenc teams with violist Phelps and harpist Nancy Allen for a Bach-to-Bax lineup.

It was painful to do because I would have liked to have kept it in the family, but I wasn't happy with it. I don't like Strads for the simple reason that they always have a "Strad" sound. I prefer to create my own sound. I play a French cello now, a Lété from 1839, a docile instrument that sounds well wherever I play. Teachers:
