Summary of our friend Gregorio, present in the concert hall and our photographer. Extraordinary concert!!! Full of soul is how I would characterize yesterday evening's concert. We all had to wait outside until 11.00 p.m. because the hall was needed before that. Then the concert started and the musicians did not stop playing until 1.00 a.m.! The Simon Bolivar Orchestra is much better now than to begin with. They played music of much greater complexity. Abbado was as divine as ever and very enthusiastic. In particular he was full of joy, the joy which music and young musicians always give him. The Cuban Foreign Secretary, José Antonio Abreu and the Venezuelan Ambassador were there, but also members of the Italian Embassy and many diplomats. Abbado will now go to Varadero to rest a bit, but at the moment the weather is bad, a cold wind is blowing which will last at least three days. He is afraid of the cold, but patience please! It is difficult to change nature. Goodbye from from Gregorio, CAI's agent in Havana. Some others pictures:
