La Musique

A few days en Paris focused on food and music, soul feeding. The trend of using church venues for music seems an excellent idea as they are great sound amplifiers, the beauty of surroundings is inspiring, and the prayerful space vibrates naturally.

Saint Chapelle with voice and string ensemble was charming and sweet, then St. Denis out in the suburbs, known for recent terrorist attacks was an interesting cultural clash to central Paris, looking more African than European.

The Korean conductor of the huge Radio France orchestra and choir performed Mahler Resurrection Symphony, a tour de force of perfect playing, big emotion, and grand appreciation that resonated in the packed cathedral.
