RE: Your most memorable concerts?

That's an impressive list. I'll only mention a few: When I was starting out as a flute student, Jean-Pierre Rampal playing his transcription of the Khachaturian violin concerto with Stokowski and the American Symphony, who also performed Rimsky-Korsakov's Le Coq d'Or Suite. I met and spoke with Rampal and Stokowski afterwards. Also in childhood, a recital by a young Vladimir Ashkenazy whom I also met afterwards.
Then, as a young adult, Nathan Milstein in one of his last Carnegie Hall recitals. And a performance of portions of the St. Matthew Passion in a London church.
More recently, a recital by Alexander Ghindin in the Moscow Conservatory's Great Hall, as much for the famous locale as the performance (which was pretty darn good, however). And finally, a marathon performance of all six Elliott Carter string quartets by the Pacifica Quartet, with Carter himself in attendance.
