I am not offended at all. Well, maybe a little, but I'll get over it!
As for the War Requiem, I was there on Friday, and it was very well done! The soloists were great and the brass playing was fantastic.
Manny, those delicate little licks with the flute (I think) were just super! I am not a big fan of playing passages with the flutes........Had a bad experience with Hanson's Symphony #2. Unison high C's with the pic, I think. Not fun for me. Anyway, the concert was great! Who was the fourth player? I thought I recognized him, but I think the guy I thought it was is not the guy it most likely is...............Have fun in Portland!
