WOW! Listening while I work. What a great piece and performance!

Sublime. Not an easy music to enter into, but once you are there, it's very powerful. I first became aware of Wadada Leo Smith thanks to an article in the New York Review of Books, which included one of Smith's "paintings", or rather scores, this one for his Symphony No. 1: Fall, of 2008. I finally read Smith's explanation for the imagery employed in this, and for the other three pieces in the cycle, the other three seasons. I am an artist, for a time very much involved with the mandala, so for me there was an immediate connection to Smith's image. As a musician I am not even at the level of a duffer, but I can still appreciate his score, and the music. Deep.

Intéressant ! 👍

Fine music 🎶🎼🎵🎙🎵🎼🎶 👌👌 😍

Such a eerily haunting and really beautiful piece!

This woman could read the lable of a jelly jar full of poisonous ingredients and make your heart break and bring tears to your eyes.

😩

You’re going way too fast

I would not buy a CD of this noise. Might be good for a spooky film.

Lovely!

Is there a listing available of the members of the ensemble?

TUTTO BENE !👍

Wonderful. Everyone should go to Ojai at least once. First rate musicians and first rate music. Do it.

How soon is soon??

Great stuff, a kind of new combination of jazz and contemporary, with other items thrown in. Love it!

This is such a joyous mingling of the piano and voice, gracious artistry from this talented duo. Enchanting concert.

Will it be streamed like last summer!!??!!

I wish my Italian Mom could have heard this. She would have loved Rhiannon's voice and interpretations.

It's always beautiful to see and hear someone with GOD-given talents put it to good use. The young Lady is one in a million.

totally boring music. Stop with the minimalism.

I am appalled that I only discovered Rhiannon this year. I have missed so much. What a wonderful voice and presence.

Utterly gorgeous voice.

Thank you so much for this wonderful moment

The song Vedrai Vedrai by Luigi Tenco could be considered the Italian A Change Is Gonna Come. By the way, similar tragic stories Sam Cooke and Tenco. Congrats to Rhiannon and Francesco for this beautiful version.

Magnificent!

Amazing artistry

Doin scat in Italian!!!! Fantastic!!!! You both are awesome!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful, fresh sound. 🌄🌼💟🕊️ IN USA 3.17.24

Just saw the opening of Rhiannon's US tour, amazing energy, effort, and pure joy from her band of musical collaborators. She delivered a powerful performance with both fun and meaningful lyrics. Her vocal talent and range is unmatched.

These two are truly magnificent. I hope they make it to Japan one day.

I guess from the lack of comments, there’s apparently no words for how great this recital is! Rhiannon, no one projects voice and countenance as well as you. Your expression with your chosen instruments is genius! And that piano player dude of yours is masterful, at times even haunting. Good call on that. All the best to you both, and to my eyes and ears.

I am proud to have been a composition and piano student of Leonard Stein. "openness' as John Adams says -- that was Leonard. We studied Beethoven's sonatas the way Schoenberg probably taught them. A deep search for the unity, in this music. motivic passages, that in retrospect, I wonder if Beethoven was aware, of connections between the movements of the sonatas. At the same time, Leonard could accept John Cage -- the word is, that he found it all interesting. I remember the Paul Klee painting he had on his wall. I'm proud to say that I don't know how I did it because I was living with the Beats in Venice West at the time, but somehow I managed to present Leonard Stein in a solo performance of all of Schoenberg's piano music. Leonard Stein was at the forefront of contemporary music in Los Angeles, premiering major works by Boulez (the 3rd sonata), Stockhausen, Luigi Nono as well as Ives. He deserves a page in any book describing the history of the 20th-century avant Garde. He was always a supportive and encouraging teacher.

She takes on a great deal of music. Her commitment to contemporary music is life and death ,necessary and important. In a short time she has distinguished herself. First I heard her Stravinsky. I knew this was a talent w/something to say. I hope she like the Italian virtuosA will play Wallen and Marsalis ' concerti. Black composers are also fighting the battle to get ideas and legacies brought to serious music!

Wonderful!

Storm for ever!!!

Hiii miss Laura it's me London from Mira monty

STUNNING

Phenomenal

"A door unlocked in my mind"✨️❤️ Incredible work👏🏻👏🏻

"over by now"???? Are you saying she is old?

It's always nice when the quality of a composer's music matches their personality. I love his score to Nope. ❤

gorgeousness

Watching from the Capital of Nevada, Carson City! BRAVO! ;)

I just found rhannon 2 hour ago, of History of the Banjo and song 'Julie' all really WONDERFUL This is so cool this song sounds like a Lena Horme singing?!? mmmmm... Carry on Great Show! Hope to see more in future. -Gina

A wonderful performance!

Extraordinary evening....and I think we all agree with Yo Yo Ma when he writes "When I hear Kayhan Kalhor play, I realize I am in the presence of someone who is just a total master.
