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.
[August 26, 1998]
