I do not go to concert very often, maybe once or twice a year.

I listen to music mostly through my audio system as much as 4 hours a day.

The most memorable concert that I had attended is the solo recital by Nathan Milstein held at Auditorium of UC Berkely on 1983.

He is one of the virtuoso violinist of the 20th century.

But he was 79 when he played at the recital on 1983.


When he played Partita by Bach, it was not his best.

Although he showed some of his skills, he could not keep up with the fast tempo as much as I wanted.

But as soon as he started playing "
César Franck, Violin Sonata in A Major.
".

I just marveled at the sweet sound of violin.

I could realize why he is one of the virtuoso violinist of the 20th century.

He died on 1992 so it is now impossible to attend his live recital again.


How about you ladies and gentlemen?

#1: Lowen & Navarro, at the Fine Line Music Café in Minneapolis Minnesota around 1990.  Small intimate setting, they even unplugged for an encore and played acoustic guitars, and cello with no amplification.  Just a magical night my wife and I will always remember.

#2: Dire Straits, Love Over Gold tour.  St. Paul,  Roy E Wilkins auditorium. The best D.S. album IMO and a great venue for excellent sound.   With one of my best friends from high school.  The couple sitting behind us was willing to share some of the best marijuana I had ever had!  Mark Knopfler and company never sounded better.
