 Concert One
October 18, 2002
Robert Silverman, Piano

"Silverman effortlessly
poured out sparkling fountains of arpeggios that cascaded up and down
the keyboard; huge chords exploded with breathtaking precision; never
was there any hesitation, timidity or second thoughts. If you weren't
involved in the music at the beginning, it slammed into you, almost as
far out as the parking lot...relentless exhilaration...the experience
was electrifying."
