Absolutely unforgettable and moving!
by CalaLily on 12/30/11Abravanel Hall - Salt Lake CityRating: 4 out of 5The first part of the concert was for the younger, pop crowd and was "okay." I thought the band was mixed too loud (especially the drums.) At intermission, I didn't realize the INCREDIBLE TREAT we were in for during the second half! During intermission, the Lyceum Philharmonic Orchestra came out and the songs David did with them were ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING! There was a depth of musical focus, a maturity of sound, and pure beauty that was a sheer delight to listen to. The choices of songs couldn't have been better, each with a fresh, new arrangement. David's voice was awe inspiring and filled each of us will emotion. His voice is beautiful! His stirring renditions of "Ave Maria," Silent Night," and "O Holy Night," were among my favorites I've ever heard. "Pat a Pan" and Riu Riu Chiu" were also enjoyable and entertaining. We bought David's Christmas CD and have listened to it every single day since the concert and enjoy it every time! This is a recording we will never tire of. David is a true vocalist and we hope to hear much more from him in the future.
