Festival in Ravinia


Pinchas Zukerman. Mozart.

…They play not by Earth's laws

but by Heaven's.

Master gives birth

to the fairy-tale.

It seems

not soul but spirit's words.

The Master and apprentices stay

in the motionless ether

of August night

in the

whole flower and fragrance,

in the vestibule

of immortal life.
 

Heaven is beckoning.

                                    [August 21, 1998]


Yo-Yo Ma. Plays Bloch and R.Strauss.

I like

the masks of his face.

Those, do not carry the sound,

I pick up

from the masks.

Nevertheless,

sound expresses

every

explosion of the soul.

Face and sound

play together,

parallel, taking the listeners

beyond the Earth

into the boundless space

of no dimensions,

and time has stood-still

with a bliss immersing into

its eternal

essence.
