perfection
So, the concert was amazing. Seriously, I was expecting something really fantastic, I know these artist but yesterday they were just brilliant. I'm a big fan of Europa Galante, Fabio Biondi, Maria Grazia Schiavo and Phillipe Jarrousky. Everyone were great. The orchestra sounded like one instrument, sound of Fabio's violins were so pure and Maria Grazia was unbelievable. I couldn't breathe and I was dying on almost every of her arias. And her last aria was perfect, just perfect and I don't think I can find some words to describe it. Come on, I can listen her all the time. Phillipe Jarrousky was amazing too. He has a phenomenal voice and yesterday his arias were one of the best in this evening.

The audience gave the artist standing ovation some 10 second after the last sound. I'm not sure how long this ovation was but I think it was at least 10 minutes. And you know, it is incredible in Cracow because it is really hard to force Cracow audience to standing ovation and this ovation after 10 seconds is something really fantastic. The concert hall was full. And I think the Opera RARA project achieved success and I'm sure Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme by Jean Baptiste Lully which will be performed in June won't be the last opera in this project.

Before the concert we had a lot of trouble with flights and this one lost luggage (which arrived today morning). There was horrible fog in Cracow yesterday and planes can't land in Cracow, almost every plane was landing in Warsaw and Catherine von Mutius, manager of Jordi Savall who will be in Cracow on Misteria Paschalia in April, arrived to Warsaw and had to come to Cracow by the train alone becuase we didn't even have time to send someone to pick her up. So, instead of wait for her on the airport I went with Ian, Christine, Fabio, Filip and Robert to the new Opera House and had a trip. I don't like this opera too much but the acustic is just great, really better than in the concert hall. And I can't wait for some opera with Europa Galante there. With costumes and everything this time.

And it's great I can know them and they remember me. Yesterday Maria Grazia said 'see you in April', today Ian, Christine and Fabio said it too and it is really nice when they thank you for everything and tell your job was great. And it's nice even if it's just my and I love it.

I can't wait for April and Misteria Paschalia. All week of fantastic concerts. I'm waiting for this all year.
