Concert D by Igor Stravinsky, Reiko

“She was invited at the
recommendation of Yong
yan Hu, our music director,”
Executive Director Jeth Mill
said. “He worked with her at
Duluth, Minnesota, was im
pressed and had a wonderful
experience with her.”
The Tokyo-born violinist, in addition to
studying at The Julliard School, was the young
est grand prize winner in the history of the All
Japan Music Competition at age 14.
Since then, she has added a number of other
credits to her name and is widely praised for
her brilliant technique and expressive playing.
“She does bring her personal stamp to mu
sic,” Mill said.
Lives will be enriched by the experience, and
the audience will be charmed and impressed
with her playing, he said.
Watanabe, a virtuosic performer now in her
late twenties, started playing the violin at age
3, Mill said.
She studied with Suzuki and was schooled in
the Suzuki technical violin method.
Although she is unrecorded,. Mi 11 said that
maybe Watanabe would develop a cult follow
ing in Lincoln that would demand a record.
During her Lincoln stay, Watanabe also will
speak to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
ArtsToday class and will conduct a master class
with violin students.
Piotr Ilyicli Tchaikovsky’s rarely performed
masterpiece, the “Manfred” Symphony, will
close the concert.
Tickets for tonight’s performance are $28,
$23 and $ 18 and are half-price for students with
identification. They may be purchased through
the Lied Center box office at 4724747.

Widow fights
U.S. release
of ‘Diabolique’
By Amy Barrett
Associated Press
PARIS — The widow of French film
director Henri-Georges Clouzot vowed
Monday to sue the producers of a U.S.
remake of her husband’s famed film,
“Diabolique.”
The 1955 movie, a chilling tale that
recounts the murder of a schoolmaster by
his wife and mistress, earned Clouzot a
reputation as “France’s Hitchcock.”
The remake of the same title, not yet
released, was directed by American
Jeremiah Chechik and casts Sharon Stone
and Isabelle Adjani in the roles of the
schoolmaster’s scheming wife and mis
tress.
The film, produced by Morgan Creek,
was supposed to open the Cannes Film
Festival in May.
Ines Clouzot, Clouzot’s widow and
sole holder of rights to his films, told
France Info radio that the U.S. producers
bought the rights to the novel on which
her husband’s film was based, “She Who
No Longer Was,” by Pierre Boileau and
Thomas Narcejac, but not to his film.
“They have put me in this situation.
They have repeatedly said and written
everywhere that they were filming Henri
Georges Clouzot’s masterpiece,
& ’ Diabolique,”’ she said.
She said the remake contained many
elements her husband invented that were
not in the novel, such as making the as
sassins two women, locating the drama
in a school and murdering the victim by
drowning him in a bathtub.
The bathtub scene is one of the most
famous — and hair-raising — in French
cinema.
Incs Clouzot said the producers only
contacted her after they had finished film
ing, and then offered her “a few miser
able dollars.”
“They can’t be allowed to produce a
pirated film like that. I have no choice but
to try and prevent its release,” she said.

Mr. Mirainga
“MCAD-11379”
MCA Records
Grade: B
■ : *•
Mr. Mirainga is a band that re
members the better days of alter
native, but can’t quite re-create
them.
The band’s album “MCAD
11379” sometimes sounds like the
Pixies and Jane’s Addiction, but the
band is cursed by a weak lead
singer. The result is that it sounds
like almost every other whiny, na
sal, pretty-good alternative band.
Not to belittle the band mem
bers, because they are quite good.
Every song on the album is catchy
to some degree; they just aren’t dis
tinctive.
The lyrics are nutty, stream-of
consciousness ramblings. They are
lyrics for the sake of lyrics — they
don’t say anything, but you can sing
along for the hell of it.
The layout of the CD’s liner
notes is a minor achievement unto
itself. The lyrics are printed amid
1960s hardware ads, and are almost
indistinguishable (in font, at least)
from the descriptions of faucets and
fan belts.
“Safety First” is the best song.
It’s a catchy recitation of safety
aphorisms sung in an electronically
altered voice punctuated by Frank
Black-ish screeching.
“Loaded” is the best example of
one of Mr. Mirainga’s bass, bass,
gotta love that bass songs — of
which there are several. It’s, um, got
some good bass.
So, if you are a good singer,
maybe you should try out for Mr.
Mirainga. The band needs you, and
it is talented enough to maybe make
you famous someday.
