That was awesome.

Amazing! Eliot's sound is so great here - not so harpsichordish but with enough edge for clarity. Brilliant!!!!!!

[selfTaughtGirl]

Holy moley, what a performance! (I kept on hearing Copland's hoe-down in my mind's ear - is that just me?)

My God, how is this concert is difficult!!! And Mr. Fisk played it like there is no any difficulty for him. He's Segovia's follower. It's forever.

I wonder, what mics did they used here?

I saw him premiere this last spring. This evening I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Fisk play a Rodrigo concerto. The energy this man brings to his interpretations is really quite incredible.

Eliot Fisk should stand before a firing squad for playing like this!

@Benjiko lol is not like he wrote this, he is just playing it how it's supposed to go, is not his fault, blame the composer. And i find this interesting, maybe if you listen to it with the orchestra it will sound better. Not everything has to sound Beethoven or Chopin. Still far above Lady Gaga's Alejandro.

I had an opportunity to see and hear Elliot in Sioux Falls. Beaser was with him at the performance. The performance was outstanding.
