They were in the last row at the very top (row D, seat 110) 2) The first piece (Dance of Galanta by Kodaly) and the final piece (Concerto for Orchestra by Bartok) - Dudamel didn't use a score. He conducted both entire pieces from memory. It was phenomenal. Just two more comments…

So we were looking at you through the entire concert! What was also remarkable for us was that every time the conductor turned the score, we could hear the page turn from where we sat. The accoustics were phenomenal. We were on the opposite side of the hall in the last row at the very top. So we were looking at you through the entire concert!

We watched Gustavo Dudamel as he directed. He was amazing - so full of energy! When I read in the program that he was born in 1981 and that he began conducting in 1996, I could hardly believe it. We also had a clear view of the piano keyboard and we were in awe. The Rach 3 has been one of my favorite pieces for years and this was the first time I heard it performed with a live orchestra.

What a concert! My wife, Deanne, and I went to here the Rach 3 last weekend, too. It was truly amazing. Thanks for the reminder of that God is the source of all true beauty, creativity and genius.
