    Colbert doesn’t mess around.

    That Rococo Variations is really good.

    Sterling Elliott, Esther Yoo and Anne Akiko Meyers seem to be the only ones on that roster of Colbert getting concerts these days that actually sound fantastic. Bravo Sterling.

    I guess he noticed the success of Randall Goosby.

    I’m hearing him play Haydn with the Richmond (VA) Symphony next weekend.

    The Theme is played ‘semplice,’ but absent dynamics and nuance. Not so sure why he performs the material three times in the same receptive manner, same flat sound, same articulation. He lost me from that point.
