A confluence of excellence at the Walt Disney concert Hall on December 22nd:

1.  The building itself – another Gehry spectacle

2. The LA Phil – flawless

3. Gustavo Dudamel – one of the main reasons we flew from Chicago to attend

4. Rachmaninoff #3 – probably my favorite piece (thanks to Hugh Harrington, my Beth Israel, chief resident neurologist house-mate, while living in Boston {1980})

5. Yuja Wang – for the piano brilliance (and, yes, that outfit!)
