Some people are rude about pot-boilers but I generally love them. And we had our share in New York this May. Hamlet (the play), Nessun Dorma (twice), Mozart symphony 12, a group of Handel counter-tenor areas ending with Lascia io piango, Onegin, Haydn trumpet concerto, Evgeny Kissin alone then in a violin and 'cello trio both at Carnegie Hall. We heard graduating orchestras at Julliard and Curtis schools and even some jazz with Wynton Marsalis and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Here are some program titles in case anyone is interested in the details. My head is full of those tunes, those songs and those soliloquies.
