James talks about communication between soloist and conductor, a lesson still applied by a past competitor.  Vacatello and Son dress their chamber concertos.  Exclusive: Another comparison this time between Zhang and Son with Prokofiev 2 (tomorrow I compare Tsujii and Bozhanov in Rachmaninov 2) and I wrap up with Buddy Bray who gets specific about the jury and speculates on what Van Cliburn is thinking.  Plus the final part of my chat with Joyce Yang who shares a conversation she had with Di Wu…tomorrow more Conlon and Michael Shih concertmaster of the FWSO…Listen!

James Conlon and I discuss communication and I let him know how his advice is still making a difference to Sa Chen the crystal award winner from 2005
