For all her tough talk, she was one of the sweetest people in the business. Judith Blair, BOULDER, COLO...
...followed his performance with an encore, playing a solo that rendered the whole room silent. He played a piece that had an ethereal, eerie sound, accompanying his own cello solo by singing a vocal part. The moment emphasized the fact that Koh is not simply someone playing an instrument, but actually is the instrument himself...
