    Beautiful voice, and they are beautiful making music together.

    They are beautiful together, and his dignified delivery of the
    song is moving. Thank you for posting this…and thank you for all of the posts that have been such a solace this past year, NL.

    Pires, notoriously famous for being confronted with the “wrong” Mozart Concerto . In shock and in the space of the very short exposition she gathered herself together and did a fine job of an unprepared work.

    And a lifelong collaboration with the great French violinist, Augustin Dumay

  • Patrick Park says:

    Maria Pires is world class in every way. God Bless her and we are so lucky to have her in our lives.
