Disappointing Evening For Pianist Babin At Wilson High
Pianist Babin performed a well chosen program at Wilson High School Auditorium. He showed technical fluency and powerful tone but failed to deeply engage the audience with the works of Liszt Scriabin and Chopin. Encores by Mendelssohn and Villa Lobos offered flashes of brilliance but could not fully redeem the recital.
