I listened to Parker with your thoughts in mind and I concur completely with your assessment. I thought he produced a very pleasing sound even in the more vigorous passages. I'm looking forward to Saturday night. By the way, I love the Bartok. It was interesting observing the interaction between the orchestra and Carlos. Should be fun to see how it turns out on Saturday.
