How brave for Mark Morris to choose Bartok No.4! Even a string quartet have to try very hard to handle this piece! He had the same experience as me, deeply moved by the great Takács Quartet and their Hugarian blood, I still remember that concert. This Serenade is brilliant! Mark Morris in a simple Japanese-inspired costum, and just with a guitar and percussion! How could a fat man express such diversity in just one set and grasp the essense of such different cultures like mid-eastern, japan and carribean? Only a genius can do this.... He forgot he has been doing the V in the successive 3 years here. Generally, better than last year.. =) Actually I think he really fits my style, strict ballet technique combined with the modern dance spirit, and yes, dance to the great music and forget about the world.
