From Disappointment to Ecstasy



I was disappointed with singer, Roslyn Kind’s performance Monday at the Kravis. She would have been better suited to a more intimate venue. Her vocal style was that of her big sister, Barbra Streisand, and not one I enjoy for more than a few minutes.  I felt sorry for her seeming discomfort and was eager for the ordeal to end. In contrast was our delight the next evening with the wonderful program and thrilling performance of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin, conductor and Olga Kern, piano. The audience reception was about as good as it gets. Then last night we were very lucky to hear Audra McDonald’s concert. It was a make-up for a month earlier when she canceled because of illness. We loved it and so, it seemed, did everyone.
