Notes

Hard to say much at six weeks remove. LOL. I'm glad I went; Denk is darn good. I still don't really like Brahms all that much – to my ears he's somewhat of a long-winded bore. Luck of the draw goes against you sometimes; makes for another learning opportunity of one sort or another!

Stephen Smoliar posted a laudatory review of last night's show (a repeat of the same program) for the Examiner; Jeff Dunn posted a similar review for SFCV.
