Live from the Met: Doktor Faust
A rare opportunity to hear Busoni's crowning achievement. Mephistopheles's pact with Faust serves as the backdrop for a dramatic and moving meditation on the responsibilities of artistic creativity. Left unfinished at the composer's death in 1924, Doktor Faust is part mystery play, part festival play and part Passion. And
Rodney Milnes continues his series Opera Snaps - a sideways glance at each of this season's works.

Paul Motian Trio 2000. Drums titan
Paul Motian brought his latest groupto London's Queen Elizabeth Hall forthe London Jazz Festival last November and tonight's concert was the result. With bassist Scott LaFaro , Motian redefined the role of the rhythm section injazz while he was a member of the Bill Evans piano trio of the late fifties and early sixties. His efforts to make the drums an equal voice - interacting with the melody ratherthan just providing accompaniment -were later appreciated by band leaders Keith Jarrett , Carla Bley and Don Cherry. Motian has led his own groups since the late seventies, with the help of such artists as Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano. His trio tonight features saxophonist Chris Potter and another
Bill Evans collaborator, Marc Johnson , on bass. Producers Steve Shepherd and Kathryn Willgress
