From “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood” showrunner Jason Katims comes another dynamic story adapted from Ann Napolitano’s best-selling novel. “Dear Edward” follows Edward Adler (Colin O’Brien), the lone survivor of a tragic plane crash, as he adjusts to living with his aunt Lacy (Taylor Schilling) and uncle John (Carter Hudson) after losing his parents and brother in the accident.
The show also splits between narratives of other friends and family members connected to the crash through lost loved ones. Dee Dee (Connie Britton) lost her husband Charles, who had a secret life in Los Angeles that she did not know about. Linda (Amy Forsyth) lost her husband Gary, and she is pregnant with his child. Adrianna (Anna Uzele) lost her grandmother, a prominent New York congresswoman and her boss. Kojo (Idris Debrand) comes to New York from Ghana to care for his niece Becks (Khloe Bruno) because his sister...

This engaging documentary highlights the emotional power of his music – and his liaison with France’s most famous woman
Rereleased as part of special screenings for all of director Phil Grabsky’s Great Composer series, this 2014 documentary is a studious, attentive resumé of the genius Polish émigré one European aristocrat liked to call “Chopski”. What it lacks in the kind of central episodic hook much favoured by the modern biopic, or visual virtuosity, it doubly pays backs in informed piano-side commentary by top pianists – including Daniel Barenboim, Leif Ove Andsnes and Ronald Brautigam – that gets to the essence of the music.
Chopin himself, a teenage prodigy in his native Warsaw, was chary about simply giving this away. He gave only 30 public concerts in his short life (he died of tuberculosis aged 39 in 1849); his preferred method of musical communion was more intimate salon recitals that suited the existential keyboard pieces to...

My usual explanation in this space: I am especially interested in piano and choral music, plus symphonies, so that’s what I get the most promos of. Other stuff obviously gets through my filters, but the percentages of what comes in inevitably affect what comes out, i.e. this list. That said, in terms of number of centuries spanned, rather than genres or formats or whatever, I think I'm covering as much or more musical territory than most critics. By the way, look for a shorter list of my favorite classical reissues of 2012, to follow in a day or two.
1. Tokyo String Quartet, Jon Manasse, Jon Nakamatsu Brahms: Piano Quintet, Clarinet Quintet (Harmonia Mundi) There were recordings this year that were more important in terms of bringing new repertoire to light, or featuring young artists, or bringing classical into the 21st century, or being more controversially newsworthy. Examples of all of those follow.

Oslo - Norwegian band A-ha that officially disbanded in 2010 were to reunite for a one-time performance in connection with a national memorial ceremony for the victims of last month's attacks in Norway, organizers said Wednesday.

The ceremony was also to pay tribute to survivors, emergency services personnel and volunteers who took part in the rescue efforts. Public broadcaster Nrk that is co-organizer said the memorial event at the Oslo Spektrum arena would last 90 minutes and include performances by artists Susanne Sundfor, Leif Ove Andsnes, Karpe Diem, DumDum Boys, and Sissel Kyrkjebo.

I had a really disturbing dream last weekend, an especially surprising event given that I rarely -- if ever -- have dreams so clearly driven by what is happening at work. In the dream I woke up to a headline in the New York Times proclaiming that Albert Imperato had led one of the most brilliant pianists of our time -- my client, the celebrated Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes -- down the wrong path. Without Imperato's influence, the article argued, Andsnes wouldn't have strayed from the purity of the traditional classical piano recital into the circus of a multi-media project. Since the dream I have walked around with a quiet sense of dread wondering if perhaps my company had given Leif Ove the wrong advice. Thankfully, a drink I had this evening with Robin...
