A Fresh Start

It is said that the law is a jealous mistress--especially when it comes to competing for attention with other passions.

Being a law student means that my free time is extraordinarily limited, but I have found that the best way of coping with the often excruciating hazing process that is the 1L year is leaning on my love for music more than I have at any time in my life.

Music has always been my greatest passion, and my refuge from the inanities of life. Although I no longer find myself walking on a path towards making music my vocation, I still care more about it than just about anything else in the world.

I hope you find my musings on classical music, orchestras, and recordings informative and interesting. I'll be posting about concerts I attend, the state of classical music in America in this new millennium, reviews of new recordings, and recommendations of older recordings. As with any form of criticism, it is important to remember that art is subjective. My recommended recordings "click" with me and the way I perceive and feel music, but they may not click with you.

I hope that this blog tempts you to find your own taste in music, to explore how music makes you feel, and to seek out performances that speak to your soul in uniquely resonant ways.
