 Given the subject matter of the work, I was expecting something somewhat more dark and harrowing than what was performed. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. To me, My Lai represents an impossibly shameful episode in history that has yet to be fully acknowledged by the American public -- No doubt there were more than a few folks in the audience who had no idea what they were in for. Sometimes that's a good thing! Given the subject matter of the work, I was expecting something somewhat more dark and harrowing than what was performed. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

-Rinde Eckert did a fine job with the libretto -- and in expressing the anguish and confusion of Hugh Thompson in confronting both the massacre and the ramifications of his actions later in his life. Overall, I found tonight's performance to be a bit too vague -- as if the event was so horrible that it could only be confronted through shards of story. No pictures (thankfully!). No overwhelming soundtrack behind the musicians (though there was judicious use of foley sound). And plenty of sad, anguished music.+Rinde Eckert did a fine job with the libretto -- and in expressing the anguish and confusion of Hugh Thompson in confronting both the massacre and the ramifications of his actions later in his life.

No overwhelming soundtrack behind the musicians (though there was judicious use of foley sound). And plenty of sad, anguished music. Successful, but perhaps as not as powerful as it could be. I wish I could see the next iteration -- a more fully staged presentation [scheduled](http://kronosquartet.org/concerts/details/2350) for Jan 29 in Chicago. Hopefully that one will end up on YouTube!
