Kurosawa's profound, touching meditation on mortality and memory
网页1 天前 · The results are enjoyable, with an affecting lead performance, but you miss the original film’s bite. Ikiru is a masterpiece, a film with the power to make you take stock of your life so far and wonder how you’ll be remembered. This 4k reissue comes with a bonus disc of extras, including a 2002 Japanese documentary about the making of Ikiru ...
Waiting for Godot, Theatre Royal Haymarket review - humanity in …

Michael Craig-Martin, Royal Academy - from clever conceptual art …
网页20 小时之前 · Michael Craig-Martin was the most playful and provocative of the conceptual artists. His early sculptures are like visual puns, a play on the laws of nature. On the Table, 1970 (pictured below right), for instance, appears to defy gravity. Four buckets filled with water stand on a table; so far so ordinary. But the table has no legs and is suspended from the ceiling by ropes and pulleys.
Pavel Kolesnikov, Wigmore Hall review - unpredictable magic
网页21 小时之前 · All five finalists in the Leeds International Piano Competition, at which Pavel Kolesnikov was one of the jurors, should have been given tickets, transport and accommodation to hear his Wigmore recital the evening after the prizegiving.

网页The Lightest Element, Hampstead Theatre review - engrossing, but fragmentary. British theatre has a proud heritage of science plays. From 1990s classics such as Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia (1993) and Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen (1998) to more recent examples such as Lucy Kirkwood’s Mosquitoes (2017) and Marek Horn’s Octopolis (2023), the ...

网页A Night with Janis Joplin: The Musical, Peacock Theatre review - belting Blues singing in an oddly sanitised format. The signs in the Peacock’s foyer warn that this show features "very loud music”. Exactly what Janis Joplin fans want to hear. This is an evening for them, more a concert than a piece of musical theatre.
Lewis, BBC Philharmonic, Storgårds, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester …
网页1 天前 · It was striking because of its eloquent melody and evocation of child-like joy. Subsequent experience has confirmed the impression that she writes music that immediately communicates, that is often about something, rather than abstract (and she’s not afraid to tell us that), and that it does what it says on the tin.. Her ABLAZE THE MOON, premiered by the BBC Philharmonic in the 2023 London ...
