Good Evening!
I'm back from Carnegie Hall...
Joshua Denk and Jeremy Denk gave a wonderful recital: Bach, Saint-Saëns, Schumann and Ravel - with a bit of Dvorak/Kreisler for an encore. My friends Brendan and Jennifer joined me, and it turned out to be Brendan's first time at Carnegie Hall! -And to top the evening off, we headed backstage afterwards to say Hi to Jeremy.
*And I'd like to say a very public "Thank You" to the ushering staff in the Balcony for reprimanding the gentleman(?) in Row A, Seat 44, for continually texting during the first half of the recital. One usher spoke to him at the top of intermission, and the head usher spoke to him right as the intermission was ending. He "behaved" during the second half of the recital - although, I could still tell he was texting every now and then, but at least he placed his phone in front of him and covered the screen with his hands instead of holding it out to the side(!?!?!?).
