Both my kids happened to be in the DC area to hear that stop of that tour. A person in that audience unwittingly recorded the encore after thinking she had snapped a photo.

It's Whitacre's arrangement of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence." Time literally stood still when my friends and I heard it in a great hall. The dissonances just hung in the air.

That so much of the music comes through on an iPhone recording with the iPhone in a purse or bag is food for thought, is it not?

ATB,

John
