Roberto Abbado and Midori

My second San Francisco Symphony concert tonight (my first was Joshua Bell playing Beethoven's violin concerto a couple of weeks ago -- Bell is a Bloomington, Indiana native and IU alumnus). Midori is simply a stunning musician. Britten's violin concerto is extremely difficult (both for the performer and, at times, for the listener), but rewardingly beautiful. You can listen to Midori here.
