Maybe he spoke French .Or his mother did .
What makes me laugh is that folks think classical players don’t improv.
The SPCO home is the Ordway Hall in down-town St. Paul .Millions were spent on acoustics in what was already a very good hall.
Friend told me , 50 years a middle hall guy , you could sit front row center and still get great instrumental separation .Right, right say I , he buys me a ticket and in a 1300 hall seat he was right !
Its very subtle , but in their wheelhouse , Mozart and Haydn, from 10 feet away sometimes looks like that’s all these world class players do !
First time I heard Evans , maybe 20 years ago, you could tell he was classically trained .When I hear so and so never was trained and he's great, I say your are right and think he could have been even greater .
