Cello Fame

Great concert by NATALIA GUTMAN, cello and ELIZO VIRZALADZE, piano. I like the first movement of the Strauss' sonata and the second of the Rachmaninoff's. Powerful cello and shining piano. Next concert is Yundi Li, piano. Trying to get a ticket.

Foreign Affairs Symposium

Dan Wang was good; but Juntao Wang was great. He's a serious thinker who really cares about building a better China. And he understands democracy profoundly. I didn't get the chance to talk to him but I personally thought freedom of speech was the most urgent step China had to take and it was also most probably the first right Chinese people could get back from the government.
