    Exactly what does this have to do with “the inside track on classical music? (Please, no jokes about railroad tracks.)

    it even cannot be read as Anna Karenina’s story because of her age … I could only guess this is something personal to Norman
    P.S. If you seek for Russian tales – lovely Anna Netrenbo is to sing Adriana Lecouvreur for the first time in her life at the Mariinsky on June 18 and 21. Side tickets of about 200 USD are still there for the 21st – wanna have a ride to St.Peter ? Lion’s Palace Four Seasons has a lot of splendor for you only for about 8000 USD a night ….
