'The List' gives glimpse of publishing underworld

By Joseph C. Scott | March 5, 1997

What better subject for a book than a story about a book? The plot of "The List" by Steve Martini, takes a classical theme -- mistaken identity -- and shakes things up just a little in order to include murder, mayhem and insight into the publishing world. Abby Chandlis, the protagonist, a struggling lawyer aspiring to be a writer, pens a brilliant novel, but realizes she cannot get it published. Chandlis is hesitant to send her book to publishers, since a previous work she wrote did not fare well in the market.

Solzhenitsyn to perform works of Mozart, Bartok

By Aditya Dutt | February 18, 1997

When most 16-year-olds were drinking milkshakes at the local McDonald's and worrying about their algebra exams, pianist Ignat Solzhenitsyn was perfecting definitive interpretations of Mozart concertos and making classical music critics at The New York Times and Washington Post blush. Seven years later, at age 23, the Russian pianist is still making critics blush with his incredible technique, fluent control over dynamics, an intuitive sense of tonality and an emotional vigor rare for such a young musician. A good many pianists demonstrate formidable technique and finger control but lack the musicianship to interpret compositions creatively.
