It was a stunning performance! You are magnificent. I would love to see you live in performance here in Paris at the earliest opportunity. Will you be performing here anytime soon? Thank you for your earliest response. Lummochs Dear Ms. Gvedatze: I have just watched you on Mezzo TV performance a concerto for three pianos; I don’t know who the composer was, as I tuned in late.

Beautiful playing. Well done! Two comments: 1. You should really get together with Yigal Kaminka, a recorder master, and perform together... :-) You'll sound beautifully as a chamber group! 2. I would like to bring to your attention the wonderful project of motivating kids worldwide to learn and practice recorder playing (look for <a href="http://www.joytunes.com?tok=bosgraaf" rel="nofollow">JoyTunes recorder project</a>). it may be of interest to you. Good luck! I was listening to your music while reading the post. Beautiful playing. Well done!

]]> Comment on Why make a recording? by Art Leonard http://www.bbtrust.com/blog/why-make-a-recording/comment-page-1/#comment-115105 Art Leonard Sun, 07 Nov 2010 15:42:03 +0000 http://www.bbtrust.com/blog/?p=571#comment-115105 This is fascinating to read. I purchased the disc in a NYC retail store this week and listened this morning, after having heard Mr. Hopkins sing yesterday afternoon at NYC Opera. What a wonderful recording! And it sounds absolutely effortless, so reading this blog entry after hearing it is a bit startling. None of the stop-and-start quality of the recording process comes through on the finished product, which sounds like a fully-unified, through-performed recital. And that beautiful deep, rich voice is wonderfully captured, at least as it sounded to me listening on a portable CD player using Sennheiser noise-cancelling headphones, and well-balanced with rich piano sound in a pleasing acoustic space. I hope that this is a big commercial success and that ATMA proves eager to make more recital disks with Joshua Hopkins and Jerad Mosbey. This is fascinating to read.

I saw the HD transmission of the Met's TURANDOT last season, and I knew that I was dealing with a baritone of great quality. Last night, however, solidly confirmed it - you just plain ROCKED the stage in every way and on all levels - beautiful, multi-colored, sensitively articulated singing matched with a body language that captured all of the complexities of Junior. A million times bravo!!!! Yours is a career that I want to follow. In bocca al lupo for the rest of your run and upcoming season. I hope others will be as touched by your performance as I was. Sincerely, Ken Howard (not the NY-based photographer) Dear Joshua –

My husband and I have been in the Marlboro audience for nearly 40 years, I've been on the board for about half that time, and I have never read anything that communicated the experience so well. I can't believe that you make music too! Thank you, Gabriele, for such an extraordinary description of what the Marlboro experience was like for you.

This varied set of emotions only appears to be contained if the artist subjugates self awareness and "looses himself" in the music.

It comes from inside as a response to music...' But there you are, Christianne - you've surely defined it exactly! If only all blogs were half as interesting and thoughtful as yours. I liked your Tchaikovsky CD with Julius Drake very much too. Best wishes, Malcolm Hayes ‘It is somehow very difficult to define this word which describes emotion and authenticity.
