My wife and I went to a North State Symphony concert Saturday night and were both blown away by Mr. Nakamatsu's inspired performance. He played the Third Concerto of Rachmaninoff. It was dazzling, and we had a chance to meet him at a party afterwards. Kyle Pickett's conducting skills were tremendous and I had the feeling that he was aware of every microscopic musical nuance generated by this amazing North State Symphony Orchestra.
Jon is a natural, without majoring in music (his major was German and he was teaching this in high school when he entered the Van Clyburn and won the Gold Medal in 1997). This You Tube clip is from another concert.
