Thank you very much for this, Maestro! I have it on CD - a trio of true masters!



"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Publius]

I'm looking forward to the Friday night concert, which will be available on the Internet.

Inon Barnatan, the pianist, is someone I saw play at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston (SC) during my three years in Georgia. He's exceptional.

Stefan Jackiw, the violinist, is a friend and one of the most amazing young violinists in the game.

Edward Arron, the cellist, runs the chamber music series at the University of South Carolina at Beaufort, which I attended regularly during my Georgia years. He's another great talent.

Decades from now, we'll be referring to these people in the same tones of respect we use for Stern, Ax and Ma.
