Tonight's concert at Koncerthuset , Stockholm with the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra was OUTSTANDING. !

I was totally captivated ,  sat there soaking up every sound and note, marvelling at this guy's  genius  talent and skill .....his powerful , passionate interpretation of the music...  music that reached the depths of my soul. He made that violin sing in much the same way as Jimmy Hendrix . We were all on our feet at the end.
