I struggled at the outset to get into the performance, but the longer I sat, the more it got into the bones of me. Sometimes its hard to get a sense of the history you are living in your small life. I find I am carrying around so much thinking as a result of attending. That there’s a sort of shift in my ideas about my life. As a person of 64 it was helpful also to examine the context into which I was born and how all those historical turning points affected the country and us. Great musicianship. Off to read more Hall.
