I thought that was a poor choice for Conlon to make during a performance with a pianist who cannot take cues as easily as others, but thankfully they got back on track, though it was still sketchy at times. <br /><br />Otherwise I enjoyed the performance. Cleanly played, lots of beauty in the second movement, and a fantastic finish that brought the crowd to its feet.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16728710251700480177noreply@blogger.com
