Extractions: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter The blistering final movement of John Corigliano's Sonata for Violin and Piano ended with concentrated intensity and the audience, who had been patient and calm only moments before as they witnessed the virtuoso performance, exploded into a clapping frenzy. Violinist Midori and pianist Robert McDonald acknowledged the crowd with modest bows, then proceeded to receive a standing ovation and three curtain calls and this was merely the end of the first half. The audience members in Miriam A. Friedberg Hall knew they were listening to something special. Midori, whose debut at age 11 with the New York Philharmonic launched her international career, is known for her impeccable technique and fiery performances. Tonight's concert, however, displayed a mature side of her playing as she collaborated with Peabody faculty member Robert McDonald. The concert began with Mozart's Sonata in A Major, K. 526 , an elegant display on the part of the performers, as the duo played the 18th century work with a refinement that refused to inhibit the beautiful, singing quality of the music.
Extractions: Twenty years ago, Midori Goto, an 11-year-old violinist from Osaka, Japan, was one of the most promising musical prodigies of Asian descent. Recently enrolled in an American conservatory - in her case, in the studio of Dorothy Delay at the Juilliard School - she hoped to follow elders such as conductor Seiji Ozawa, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinist Cho-Liang Lin into classical music's first string. Conductor Zubin Mehta tapped the young violinist as a surprise guest soloist in a New Year's Eve concert by the New York Philharmonic. Billed simply as Midori - the name she has stuck with professionally - she created a sensation by playing not just virtuosically but with a maturity far beyond her years. She sounded so "adult" as a preteen, in fact, that all the usual calculations of what age a performer should be to tackle which pieces never really applied to Midori. Nor have many of the cliches associated with prodigies.

Midori, 25, was a child prodigy who played with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at age 11. By AMANDA M. SAENZ Her performances with many distinguished symphonic ensembles have captured the spirit and vigor of music in many different modes. Her performance Sunday evening at the Wharton Center only proved that Midori indeed lives up to all her expectations and achievements. Wearing an emerald green, rhinestone-accented dress, the small-statured violinist took the stage and immediately captured the attention and respect of the nearly sold-out crowd. Sharing the billing with pianist Robert McDonald, her longtime recital partner, Midori played four selections that were both enlightening and inviting. From the very first note, she appeared mesmerized by her tune. After the intermission, the show continued with the same vibe and spirit as the first half. However, the second half seemed to to have a little more funk and energy than the first. The first movement features a pedal tone on the fifth degree of the scale and lasts more than 40 measures. The effect of this unusual style is to place the violin and upper piano voices in a constant battle.

Extractions: KNOXVILLE- The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra's 2002-2003 Masterworks season opens on September 13 at the Civic Auditorium at 8:30 p.m., as superstar violinist Midori returns to the KSO stage 15 years after she captivated sold-out audiences at her 1987 Knoxville debut, this time as the star of the season-opening gala. The program includes "Variations on America" by Ives/Schuman, the Sibelius Violin Concerto, and "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky/Ravel. "The biggest impression we ever had with a guest artist in this community was when Midori first played here," said Maestro Kirk Trevor. "Ever since, we've been trying to get her back. She is one of the most sought-after artists of our time, and we are thrilled to have her return to Knoxville during my last season." Trevor continued, "I first met Midori in the summer of my very first season with the KSO while in Dallas. Back then, Midori was already a veteran star of thirteen, so I was extremely nervous. What I remembered most about that day was standing backstage with a young thirteen-year-old, then a few moments later, standing on the podium with someone that seemed to have matured twenty years or more in the few seconds it took to put the violin under her chin."

As an epitome of the Romantic era, this flamboyant virtuoso was renowned for his dazzling performances and massive stage presence. On this CD, former child prodigy Midori, records what is arguably the gold standard for all violinists, Paganinis 24 Caprices.
Extractions: Full Review Midori was a child prodigy on the violin. From her beginning on the classical music concert stage as a youth through adulthood, she has astounded audiences wherever she has played.

Extractions: Dave Guinotte '02 and Jason Kirchner '01, both members of Delta Upsilon, helped with a fall pheasant release. Through the program, sponsored by the Earlville Conservation Club, 125 male and female pheasants were released into suitable habitat in Madison County. The birds, pen-raised at Camp Georgetown, are transported to release sites by volunteers such as Guinotte and Kirchner. Release programs are vital to maintaining a healthy pheasant population in central New York's changing landscape. Class of 2000 gift The Class of 2000 held a kickoff event to announce their class gift, a fountain on the village green. The class gift committee felt the fountain, which will be engraved with a message from the class, would be a fitting and enduring tribute to their four-year relationship with the village, and a landmark to which they can return as alumni. The kickoff event, where the gift was announced to the general community, was held at the Colgate Inn on October 23. Assistant Professor of Geology Karen Harpp and three students had an opportunity to do field work on the Galapagos Islands in August. Along with representatives from Macalester College and from Ecuador, the Col-gate researchers worked in geochemistry and environmental geology to address questions about the island region's past and future.
Extractions: Saturday, November 16, 2002 L OS ANGELES , CALIF The Nov. 16 concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic was memorable for the superb orchestral playing as well as for the presence of a great violinist. The three Nordic pieces on the program found their ideal interpreter in the L.A. Phils Finnish-born conductor/artistic director Esa-Pekka Salonen. Edvard Griegs Peer Gynt Suite had all the requisite pastoral charm and vivacity that the score demands and more. Aases Death, marked andante doloroso, was unforgettable for its quietly shimmering sonorities, like a translucent dark veil on a bereaved lover. The dark force again re-asserted itself in the Sibelius Violin Concerto , here given a rapturously serene and intimate account by Midori and the Philharmonic musicians, who at times played like chamber musicians. It is a tribute to Midoris mastery that in concert her playing has all the precision one would expect in the studio exceptionally clean and precise, not least above the stave. The main lyrical themes of the first two movements were taken at leisurely tempos and built up gradually to rapt intensity, and the coda of the first movement was among the most thrilling I have ever heard. The finale, adhering to Sibelius exact marking allegro ma non tanto, was again remarkable for the clean precision of her playing, with detail sharply drawn even in the most thorny bravura passages.
