Hannah Goldfield on Anthony Bourdain's "Don't Eat Before Reading This"
I’m not being facetious when I say that I remember exactly where I was when I first became aware of Anthony Bourdain. It was the summer of 2002, two years after he published “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,” a seminal and unsparing account of life as a chef in restaurant kitchens. I was fifteen, and on vacation with a friend and her family, on Long Island. My friend’s father was reading the paperback and shared aloud one of the dirty secrets in the book, which we all took, immediately, as gospel: one should never order fish on a Monday.

Pam Tanowitz's Pastoral, Ailey Does Joni Mitchell
In the dreary month of January, summer makes a brief but welcome appearance via Pam Tanowitz’s “Pastoral” (Rose Theatre; Jan. 11-13). It’s a bucolic work, a peaceable kingdom of serene, sometimes quirky dances, set within a landscape of vibrantly colored fabric panels by the artist Sarah Crowner. Dancers move with bracing clarity as Beethoven's “Pastoral” Symphony wafts across Caroline Shaw’s musical collage, which also suggests the buzzing of insects, bird calls, rain.

Tallis Scholars Mass, Star Pianists
England, the insult goes, is “a land without music.” Of course, where there are people, there is music—but it’s true that, for a century or two, English composers played mostly in the minor leagues. New York Philharmonic, conducted by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, at David Geffen Hall, showcases two works, both from 1910, that helped to change that.
