His performance of Barber’s concerto with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Minas Gerais in the Sala Sao Paulo, Brazil, was wonderful!
The encore of Bach’s work was exciting. Unfortunately, we missed each other at the exit and we could not congratulate him personally. It is here our admiration and our thanks.

I cannot remember a finer performance of the Rocco war horse. The audience of thousands appeared, to me, to be absoulely rapt. And that instrument you play!! By all means keep it away from sweat.

Return soon. Maybe with the CSO at Orchestra Hall?

I’ll be there.

Pritzker Pavillion is quite something, isn’t it? Even when the weather is steamy, as it was during your visit, you just can’t beat sitting in that wonderful outdoor space enjoying top quality music with thousands of people.

I could hardly stay in my seat it was so breathtaking. Please tell me you have or will in the future have a recording of this piece!! As a cellist myself, I was very taken with the range and surprise of it, particularly evident in your performance. Thanks!
