BWW Reviews: IL PRIGIONIERO Holds Audience Captive at New York Philharmonic

It's a rare occasion when a concerto--even one as brilliantly played as violinist Lisa Batiashvili's performance of Prokofiev's First--takes a back seat to the second half of the program.

Smart Grid Technology Market Will Reach $73 Billion in Annual Revenue by 2020, Forecasts Navigant Research
