The Jonas Kaufmann Recital at the Met was wonderful. Kaffmann not only sang repertories from Strauss and Mahler, he also brought up Tupac and Liszt. It it hadn't been the under-the-weather audience's desperate attempt to hold off and release coughing during every brief in-betweens, we would had "the most romantic" performance. The encores were fantastic as well, although we had to leave at the 4th encore, it was rare that he and the accompanist would be so generous with the performance. Consider we only applauded 3 encores out of Andire Riau last time!
