Heard you last night in rehearsal with Fabio Machetti and the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. The response of the JSO to your Strauss was telling, they really appreciated your wonderful playing. Magnificent!! Will be in the audience Saturday for a wonderful concert.

Hello Alban:

Your performance of the Elgar Cello Suite, Op. 85, on Saturday, Dec. 5 in Kitchener, Ontario was simply amazing. I am still humming the melodies and thinking about your awesome, inspiring performance. Well done indeed. I hope you come back to Centre in the Square for another performance in the future. I have been a fan of yours since I saw you perform the Dvorak cello suite in September 2009 with the K-W Symphony. Another night of live music I will carry with me for a long, long time.

All the best,
Terry Pender
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Hi A

Thanks for the blog, excellent as always. Try Salsa dancing, I couldn’t even waltz but with a bit of dedication I have become a descent salsero. I am now going to even try the Tango -oh God! Dancing is wonderful and teaches much about those personal relationship things that are hard to come by for us.

Take care
Wess

I feel honoured for being in Palacio das Artes, Belo Horizonte, the day you were playing amazingly with the Philarmonica de Minas Gerais, 23/11. The performance brought tears to my eyes. You’ve put so much emotion in your cello, I felt you would cry rivers while doing it! The orchestra was really amazing as well, and you should see their faces when you came back to play again after Barber’s “concerto for cello, op. 22”. Thank you very much for this unique opportunity.

I hope you have a great time!

Please say ”hi” to Daniel for me! Enjoy the Schumann! And listen to Harro’s Schumann Violin Sonata arrangements! Daniel and I were playing together in the Brabant Orkest when he was just over from the East, a principal violist who wanted to buy my Volvo sedan in order to do more gigs! Fame is a strange and short-lived thing, enjoy it! So is “onbekendheid” – anonimity-I have worked very hard for that, for the peace, health and sake of my little family and to provide a stable upbringing of my 2 children. Not an easy task unless one has an immensely good support group and understanding partner! Much strength to you and yours! And to think I am only an orchestra/chamber musician cellist! Just remember, you will always have yourself, your music, whether you play it yourself or not and your kid(s)! Think about yourself at a ripe old age when you conduct yourself now in your relationships and in building them with your children. Maybe it is different for women but people will always remember how you make them feel and not only with your instrument! That is my experience! Best wishes, RCB

Thanks for posting your new blog! Have a good month on your “home” continent! Glad you missed the drug raids in Rio- they happened just after you left! Must have been your playing which stirred something up! Bye for now!
