Extractions: MUSIC REVIEW Nonken Combines Passion, First-Class Technique By Richard Buell, Globe Correspondent, 10/19/99 "Dedicated exclusively," it says in Marilyn Nonken's artist's bio, "to music of this century." Does this have a reader's eyes glazing over already? If so, please un-glaze them at once! No two ways about it, what we have here is a remarkable young pianist by any standards, and those other centuries' loss is very much our gain. Consider. Nonken's gee-whiz, blow-them-away encore was ... the "Six Little Pieces," Op. 19, of Arnold Schoenberg. The sky has fallen. In addition to being the possessor of a first-class technique, not so unusual a thing these days, Nonken summons up a passionate identification with just the sort of music that would most seem to resist any such identification what's derisively known in the trade as "Princeton music." Apart from the color-saturated Schoenberg humdinger, Nonken's program Sunday night was made up of works by longtime Princeton guru Milton ("Maximum multiplicity of function") Babbitt and his pupils David Rakowski, Martin Butler, and Jeff Nichols. Frankly, this reviewer's guard was up from time to time. Mightn't Nonken be just awfully good at hyping up the unfamiliar and the refractory, something like those actors who can read aloud from the Manhattan telephone directory and reduce audiences to tears? One good sign: If nothing on the program seemed less realized than it should have been, neither did anything seem too realized that is, cynically worked over, too clever by half in the execution, ultimately narcissistic. Truth to tell, there were in fact longeueurs, invitations to let the mind wander. But these were honestly come by, so to speak.
