David Bernat and Xu Qi
Paul Recital Hall @ Juilliard School
New York
Two performers from Juilliard: Bernat @ Morse Recital Hall and Xu @ Paul Hall. The later is more polished. But over all, last week’s Tal First is the best among those three. Violist Bernat is unpolished and his facial problems only add to the problem: he looks at 
his music note side ways (squinty eyes?); his nose is constantly sniffing and he has underbite.
Pianist Xu is from Shenzhen. His fair skin is translucent. He gave a little speech before hand which I thought was great. As soon as he sat down, he reminds me of Green Gould, a slight hunched shoulders. He played 1.5 hours without rest. Just to think all the tadpoles he has to commit to his memory, makes me dizzy.
He first played Bach’s English Suite No. #, then onto Listz’s 12 Transcendental Etudes, which is way to long without a break.
