    Ein Mail erreichte mich:
    ... Nachdem ich das Programm gelesen hatte und die vielen Stücke von Brahms entdeckte, war für mich klar: Ich geh dorthin! Trotz des schlechten Wetters, welches mich vielleicht ein wenig wanken ließ, habe ich mich doch zum Besuch entschlossen – und ich kann nur sagen: „Gott sei Dank“! Ich habe das Konzert jede Sekunde genossen und bin über die gefühlvollen Kompositionen noch immer ganz entzückt. Herzliche Gratulation zu diesem Team. Weiter so.
