The audience was very concentrated and appreciative - of all the repertoire, with of course a particular shout out for the Ligeti in Hungarian. Lots of them lined up for us to autograph CD's. Given what the Zullos of News York wrote in to the blog yesterday to the effect that there are no standing ovations in Budapest, we feel especially complimented that there were some people on their feet!
As we said, we have a day off here tomorrow - the famous Gellert Hotel baths are close, as is a pastry shop we found last time, Hungarian goulash yet to be discovered, more sights than you could see in a day, and who knows what else! This is the view from our hotel - apparently there are tennis courts on the other side of this park, but some of us will probably stay close to home.

    Even if you plan to stay close to home, there's plenty of good pubs and places around your hotel. It could be a special experience - besides the sightseeing - to discover the everyday people of Hungary. Have a nice stay in Budapest! And the concert was extraordinary!!
