| Ethnic jewelry as a modern taste category appeals to cultural outsiders, since its exoticism quotient depends on considerable cultural distance: In my own experience, the rich African women who could afford such things probably would not want them, preferring the international standard of 24 carat gold. A orchestral showpiece to beat the band, It is arguably the apogee of musical exoticism, with Rimsky's Technicolor orchestration offering just about every member of the vast ensemble an opportunity for display -- though none more than the first violinist (in this case, Martin Chalifour), whose role is so great, he is credited as a soloist in the Philharmonic's program. The Norwegian setting lends a mild exoticism to a comic plot that, at its climax, borders on fantasy--the widely held fantasy that what the rich and famous most desire is to meet us, the ordinary people. |
