    What an astonishing performance.

    The particular thing about this performance is that it far transcends a mere display of technical mastery (that’s a big “mere”, I know, but, relatively speaking, mere nevertheless). Rather, it’s a performance of great soul-satisfying depth. Somehow the meager circumstances, an impromptu solo performance at home recorded on a cellphone, make it all the more appealing.
