RECORDINGS VIEW; A Lyrical Reading of Bartok's Quartets
Published: March 29, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
The first recording (on Hungaroton) was made in 1985 by the group's original members: Gabor Takacs-Nagy and Karoly Schranz, violinists; Gabor Ormai, violist, and Andras Fejer, cellist. Mr. Takacs-Nagy left the group in 1993 and Ormai died in 1994, at 40; the new recording is dedicated to his memory.
MR. TAKACS-NAGY'S place was taken by Edward Dusinberre; Ormai's, by Roger Tapping. Both newcomers are English, and the group maintains residencies at the Barbican and the Guildhall School in London as well as at the University of Colorado. Rather than any dilution or disorientation in approach, however, a comparison of the two recordings shows a greater mastery and an even more distinctive stylistic identity.
To put it simply, the Takacs plays Bartok with passion; these performances are what the French might call ''le Bartok hot.'' The players' sound is neither astringent nor folklike but rich in vibrato and warmly expressive at all times. Their approach brings out the music's lyricism, a quality obscured when Bartok was played either mean or Magyar.
Compared with the scores of Mahler and Berg, Bartok's have surprisingly few expressive indications; he trusted the imaginations of performers. The Takacs players, fully exercising the right to interpret Bartok's laconic markings, shape every phrase toward a dramatic peak, so that the music loses any trace of the oppressively flat articulation that often marred earlier performances.
Their intensely emotional approach to the music challenges old assumptions about its rhythms and form. With the opening phrase of the First Quartet, the new Takacs performance employs a flexible rhythmic style that differs from the more metronomic approach on other recordings, though it is close to the style of Bartok's own recorded performances, which are rich in rhythmic nuance.
The Takacs approach makes the listener more aware of phrase shapes than of pulse rhythms; instead of counting, the music breathes. While the idiom of the First Quartet still has enough contact with Wagner to accommodate this style of playing easily, the Takacs plays the dance rhythms of the later quartets with a similar elasticity yet with no sacrifice in propulsion or drive. The players make clear the difference between Bartok's sprung rhythms and Stravinsky's more rigid ones, which resist any introduction of rubato, a crucial distinction that is not always apparent on the page.
The fervor of the Takacs interpretations also changes the formal sense of the quartets. Bartok's forms are usually discussed in architectural terms of arch forms, symmetry and complex temporal proportions. The Second, Fourth and Fifth Quartets group balanced outer movements around a keystone, a pattern also found in many of Bartok's other works. The symmetry of these works, however, does not necessarily correspond to their dramatic design, which continues to evolve to the end.
The quartets have a narrative form as well as an architectural one. In each of these works, the Takacs performance lays out a dramatic story, which makes its symmetries less fearfully geometric.
Although all six quartets receive revelatory performances, the Takacs approach is particularly successful in the First and Fifth Quartets, both of which have tended to be underappreciated in comparison with the pungently dissonant Third and Fourth or the desolately tragic Second and Sixth.
The First Quartet is usually seen as the gangly adolescent of the group, stuck stylistically in an awkward age between Romantic and modern styles. Bartok himself later expressed impatience with the diffuse lack of unity in this first effort, yet its sheer chutzpah demands respect. Bartok modeled his first movement on the opening of Beethoven's Opus 131, a gesture akin to announcing that the first mountain you intend to climb is Everest. Amazingly the music stands up well to this brash comparison, especially when played with the sustained emotional empathy the Takacs displays.
This quartet, along with Bartok's First Violin Concerto, is supposed to commemorate the sad end of a love affair. The Takacs gives gestures like the wild cry of pain in the viola that interrupts the first movement its full dramatic value, whereas other quartets seem to want to avert their gaze in embarrassment.
The Fifth Quartet, though it has long been popular, has earned a questionable reputation among critics as a mild knockoff of the more dissonant Fourth. Bartok wrote the Fifth in a month, a fact critics have used in accusing it of slickness; they should show more appreciation for the force of white-hot inspiration. The Fifth reuses the five-movement arch from the Fourth but changes the relation of middle movements. Here, two slow movements are bracketed around a central scherzo; the Fourth had two scherzos framing a central slow movement (perhaps the greatest movement in the set).
This change may indicate that Bartok viewed the Fifth Quartet as a corrective to the rigidity of the Fourth's symmetrical structure and harsh harmonies; his ambition was so great that he dared to improve on a work that in so many ways seemed perfect. Whereas the Fourth Quartet seems to retrace its steps a bit redundantly after the great central movement, the Fifth keeps evolving emotionally.
THE second slow movement does not merely balance the first; it develops and intensifies its ideas, so that it forms a dramatic high point of the music, as opposed to the architectural center. The finale, likewise, does not seem a counterweight to the first movement, as in the Fourth Quartet; instead, it responds to the emotional cataclysm of the second slow movement with unexpected irony and humor.
The passionate playing of the Takacs Quartet brings out the work's emotional profile, connecting all its highs and lows. In this group's hands, the Fifth, the longest of the six works, seems also to be the richest in its range of moods and colors, rich enough to survive another chaotic century.

Changing marijuana laws
January 24, 2014
Guests: James Kenney, Bob Young, Staci Gruber
Philadelphia Councilman James Kenney introduced a bill yesterday to make possession of small amounts of marijuana a ticketed offense instead of a mandatory arrest. In a recent New Yorker interview, President Obama indicated that his stance was softening against legalizing pot. Two states have legalized the recreational use of marijuana – Colorado opened stores on January 1st and Washington State is in the process of licensing pot sellers and distributors. Medicinal marijuana use is now allowed in twenty states and the District of Columbia. This hour, we look at marijuana laws around the country and where the debate stands.  We start in Philadelphia with Councilman At-Large JAMES KENNEY on his new bill. Then, we take a look at how legalization is playing out in Colorado and Washington State with BOB YOUNG, a reporter for the Seattle Times. Finally, Marty talks about the effects of smoking pot on the adolescent brain with STACI GRUBER, Director of the Cognitive and Clinical Neuroimaging Core at McLean Hospital in Boston.

This is exactly how we humans got out of the trees five million years ago. We spot a problem, like the iPhone 4's lack of 4G data, and we solve it. In fact, Korean Telecom's new Egg sleeve not only brings WiMAX to the iPhone 4 but also incorporates an extra battery to allow five hours of 4G surfing. It could make bipedalism slightly uncomfortable however, by bulking your pocket out with 2.4 ounces (68g) in added weight plus a third of an inch (8mm) in extra thickness. Primates outside of South Korea can't buy the ₩129,800 ($120) Egg right now, but problem-solving minds can always use 4G mobile hotspots instead -- like the Sprint Overdrive or Verizon's new LTE-based MiFi. That's why we're the jungle VIP.

The Room my husband chose for our special weekend was perfect. The Anniversary package which included roses, chocolates, and 2 beautiful coffee mugs was a delightful surprise. The pecan french toast that Joe served for breakfast on our last day was my favorite. My only minor complaint is room was a little dusty but to be fair with so many interesting collectibles I would expect it. Also Joe was very knowledgeable on local history of Galena and nearby towns. My husband and I really enjoyed are getaway.
Innkeeper Response Thanks for the suggestion, and glad you had a good time while you were here.

We had a lovely time in planning a last minute weekend getaway to Galena, IL. Tithe location was perfect. However, the decor was a little excessive and not really our taste, but it was definitely unique and full of character. The food was a little too bread-centric and I prefer more of a protein centered breakfast, so I wish there was a little more options available. We had a nice time and Joe was very helpful and kept the place very clean and cozy.
Innkeeper ResponseI am sorry you didn't get the breakfast protein centered like you wanted. The breakfasts I make are clearly labeled on the website and I do offer a different breakfast to someone who requests one. Thank you for your kind words even if the décor was not to your tastes. I think the pictures on the website clearly show you what to expect.

Joe was prepared and very friendly upon arrival, and everything for our stay was ready to go including freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. The room had a very authentic B&B feel and had everything we needed. The house was in a perfect location, just steps from Main Street, close to everything. The Pecan French Toast breakfast was tasty! We will be back to Galena!
Innkeeper ResponseThank you.

Brierwreath has always been the best place to stay in Galena. It is our home away from home!
Innkeeper ResponseThank you!!! Come back anytime. :)
on March 23, 2015
First, I apologize; I don't have the writing expertise to capture the beauty of Brierwreath nor the wonderful memories I have there. The innkeeper, Joe, was incredibly accommodating, prepared delicious meals, and gave us terrific advice for wandering the city. We booked on a Tuesday, showed up on the subsequent Friday, and haven't been able to get Galena or Brierwreath off our minds since.
I loved the home, the location, and the people. Brierwreath is gorgeous and spacious. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to stay downtown Galena. As I told Joe as we departed, we will be returning as often as possible to Galena and there is only one place we'd trust handling our overnight stay: Brierwreath Manor B&B.
Innkeeper ResponseThank you so much!!! It is wonderful to have you here. :-) I look forward to your return so we can visit. Spring is coming and the front porch awaits your return.
on February 18, 2015
Joe was a great host, excellent cook and a superior house keeper. He made sure we accommodated our late Friday arrival and he made a special breakfast for my wife without a fuss or whimper! Our stay was reasonably priced and very good value. The house is FILLED with charm and was within walking distance of all things Galena.
This was a great Valentine's Day/weekend experience overall. Thank you Joe!
Highly recommended.
Innkeeper ResponseThank you for your very kind words. It was my pleasure having you both here, and hope you find time to return when you need some stress relief. :)

Jimboy's TacosRead MoreWhen Jim Knudson bit into his first taco during dinner at a friend's house in 1949, he knew he had tasted something special. He added the item—which many diners were pronouncing "tay-co"—to the menu at his restaurant in Grass Valley, California. Determined to introduce the food to as many people as possible, Jim and his wife, Margaret, converted a 16-foot trailer into a kitchen on wheels. They adopted the nickname Jim had earned from one of his longtime customers and drove up to Lake Tahoe, where Jimboy's Tacos found its first permanent home. Locals, tourists, and even members of the Rat Pack flocked to the tiny taco stand for the uniquely seasoned, parmesan-dusted ground-beef taco, the anchor of a growing menu. The family eventually relocated to Roseville, California, where they set up a small taco stand and began branching out to other locations in and around Sacramento. Today, Jim Knudson's daughter Karen, the current president of the company, carries on the legacy of taco obsession at more than 40 locations in northern California and Nevada. Guests who arrive early for breakfast might glimpse the cooks slowly simmering beans, mashing avocados into guacamole, and preparing their signature ground beef with trans-fat-free oil. In addition to classic corn-tortilla tacos, the menu holds the mega-size flour-tortilla El Gordo, golden-fried taquitos, and even a taco burger that fuses Mexican and American culinary traditions.1405 BroadwayPlacerville, CA US
