Dear Luís Carvalho,
Last night, my wife and I, saw your concert of Ravel’s ‘Pictures at the exhibition’. I have seen many concerts of famous conductors (Bernard Haitink, Ricardo Chailly, Pierre Audi) in my life, but what you have done really surpasses everything. Afterwards, tears streamed down my cheeks out of pure joy. I’ve never seen a conductor take the orchestra to such phenomenal artistic heights. I want to thank you very much.
Was a CD made of this performance? Please keep me informed if you conduct more often in the area (from Aveiro to Viseu).
