Sergei was so good I simply sat and listened. There was no amplification. He and the strings made love to our ears in natural acoustic. He had to circular breath but did it in such a way that we could not tell, only by the fluidity of the line could we know that he was performing supernaturally. No cheek puffs.
We tore his heart out with applause. He knows he is welcome here.
