Dear Alban and fans, Thanks for replying via your blog. Great to read about the concert you played on 20 November (my 50th!). Please tell more! Just how warm was it in the hall? I was reading recently about Walton Concerto, do you play that too? That Piatigorsky has a special interpretation, it having been written for him. Did you study that piece? Do you play it? Was Barber written for GorbuBTW, the parties were GREAT this past weekend! See Facebook for those entries! Also got a reply from S.I., thank you for the update. It’s great to get “back in the boat” socially with the cello if not yet recitally! Safe travels for you and your cello, God bless and goodnight, RCB

Alban, I was at sala sao paulo / brazil, november 20th for Barber Concerto with the Minas Gerais Phil Orchestra. I had a wonderful time and touching experience to hear you. It drove me to google your personal website. You are really an artist when you break the walls and straight rules that keep musicians out of the ordinary world we are all living in ! I hope youÂ´ve enjoyed the place and people from sao paulo (very noisy city ) although you played for a selected audience. Please come back soon !

So inspiring to hear you taking initiative into integrating classical music into the lives of people who normally don’t listen or never were properly exposed to the beauty and richness of it. Please come to Isreal soon!

Wonderful Alban…Especially playing for newborn and the family…I am fortunate to have shared the marvelous feelings and insights that occur when we make music in non-traditional locations.

I’ve stopped by Dave’s Market yesterday to see Alban’s OFF STAGE perfomance and it was AMAZING!!! The music is still playing in my ears! Great experience! I hope he’ll have many more alike perfomances. Thanks so much for coming to Cleveland and God bless you! DANKE DANKE DANKE

What a wonderful experience it must have been !
I really admire your ability to find ways different from what is usually expected from classical players to make it appreciated by the public. And the experience is new and special for both sides : the artist and the public.
I hope you will have occasions for many more experiences of this type…and also, to have myself, an opportunity to hear you playing the Bachsuites. 🙂
