People Are Talking: UMS Presents Beijing Guitar Duo w/Manuel Barrueco in Rackham Auditorium:
Wonderful ensemble playing in both the duo and trio works.
Maestro Barrueco reminded us once again that he, like a handful of other guitarists (Segovia, Pepe Romero) brings the requisite tone colors and phrasing to the Spanish repertoire.
Great concert!
People are Talking: UMS Presents Yuja Wang at Hill Auditorium [plus AUDIO]:
I think he played the Mephisto Waltz as an encore.
There were several rows of SRO listeners in the back and a number of people were seated on the stage!
So sad what is happening with dwindling audiences for classical music in the US. Hopefully the influx of new young artists like Ms Wang can help reverse this trend.
I heard Horowitz@ Hill also. Is Yja Wang Horowitz;s successor?- Could be! She’s amazing!

Thought the arrangement of Sorcerer’s Apprentice was great fun to hear. Reminded me of hearing Horowitz at Hill in the past!
