John Gibbons performed the whole thing (with repeats) tonight and it was a truly fantastic concert. Few have the guts to do something like this and I feel blessed that I was able to be a part of this concert.
I’m so mellowed out from the music that I can actually hold off complaining about the backwater ways of New England Conservatory. In Bach I found some way to forgive New England Conservatory for the inefficient administration, poor management, rotting facilities and a sluggish response to make it all better. Put it another way, a beautiful concert like this one makes the world a better place–you forget about the questions that have no answers and for a while the world seems like an ok place.
