Catching my breath

I apologize for my absence of late. Last week was Beethoven 9 Hell Week for the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus. In the middle of all that activity, I caught Boston's cold, and have been suffering greatly. To top that off, my 82-year-old house has had an electrical crisis. The electrician was here for two hours this afternoon, and only got
two lights working again. There are eight more to figure out, and a switch that probably needs replacing. And my annual Broadway Weekend with PianoLady begins tomorrow night. Say it with me: "Breathe!"

There are numerous blog posts fomenting in my brain that just haven't found their way to pixels. I will make time for that next week, before we go into Brahms German Requiem Hell Week.

In the meantime, I'll give you some lovely words to read—not my words, but those of listeners to our magnificent Beethoven 9 of last weekend.

Enjoy!
