Pianist Chin-Yun Hu: Franz Liszt: Metamorphosis.
This was the best DA performance so far. Hu was spellbinding. She played selections from Etudes and some Shubert and Sherman without sheet music. She pulled so much sound out of that Yamaha grand. Again we were in the front row, facing Hu, which was an added bonus because she was ecstatically expressive as she played. What a tremendous skill. How one person can hold that much music in her head and body simply astounds me.
This was the least attended of the series, probably due to the Super Bowl, which made it even better because the audience was dialed in. After her first piece, there were several wows! And an immediate standing ovation. After the second, we were all too stunned to react as quickly. And the third drew another standing ovation.
We were home in time to catch the 2nd half.
