Rachel, I listened to your concert online and loved it. It took me about a half hour to get it streaming on my computer since the radio station you mentioned didn't work for me. I'm sorry that I missed that part of your concert. Is it being archived on the Web so that I and others can listen again?

I loved your discussions of the music almost as much as the music itself. I'm sure that the adaptation of one of Liszt's Hungarian dances for violin and piano would have wowed me in any case. It was so full of pyrotechniques, and the virtuoso parts for violin and piano fit so well together. This is a nearly impossible accomplishment. I was more sensitive to what was happening, and I appreciated it more because of the short talk you gave about it before performing it.

Extensive discussions by the soloist about the pieces to be played in a concert almost never happen except by you . I really appreciated everything you said. Besides the knowledge, you conveyed the fun of every piece you played. Now I'm eager to hear you play the rebec and the viola da gamba.
