Duozo, Spot-On Japanese in Boston
I first wandered into Duozo near Copley Mall a year or so ago and had a lovely late lunch. Since then, I've been meaning to return to experience more from their menu. I don't remember the Bento Box lunch specifically, but I do remember that the food was fresh and lovingly prepared with the right seasoning and an impeccable sense of balance. I've always admired the simplicity of Japanese food for those very reasons, but in the hands of an amateur, this can go woefully wrong. To find a place that really succeeds is a wonderful thing. My impromptu pre-theater meal at Duozo was delicious from start to finish and was served up by an attentive and knowledgeable staff.

Kristen Stoner's "Images" for Solo Flute
"Images" is a fabulous new album featuring works for solo flute performed by Kristen Stoner, professor of flute at University of Florida. It features works mostly by living American women composers like Libby Larsen, Katherine Hoover, Victoria Bond, and by the performer herself! There is a nod to some standards in the flute repertoire also such as Debussy's Syrinx, Honneger's Danse de la Chevre, and Bozza's Image.
