We went to a graduate Recital by Javier Gonzalez, tenor at Keller Hall tonight. Mr. Gonzales was fantastic and he was accompanied by master pianist, conductor, composer, arranger… Pablo Zinger, whose piano accompaniment was spectacular. We couldn’t have asked for a better performance from both artists.
Tristan and David were playing some of the old vinyl albums we gave them at Tristan’s birthday party last night. I forgot how good vinyl sounds compared to CDs and especially MP3s. Even my old, worn out ears could hear a big difference in the sound quality of the vinyl and today’s digital formats. As the night wore on Tristan and friends turned into zombies. I got the photo of the pink Sandias after we dropped off Tristan’s birthday present late this afternoon.
The Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus where fantastic, and the soloist pictured below was stunning. Her voice blending with the strings was mesmerizing — one of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard.
