Still processing yesterday's concert. The level of the musicianship from the SSO was stellar. Wonderful choral work in the Haydn mass and a soprano to die for in the final movement of Mahler 4. Yet somehow I didn't connect, beyond recognising the quality involved.
And in a very different context I found something similar in my reading of Thoreau's Cape Cod. Much as I recognised the craft of the writing it didn't work for me beyond isolated snatches of appreciation.
Maybe I'm in a dry season. Encountering good things at the wrong time. Patience & perseverance are the order of the day. Let's face it. They are all any of us have got when things just don't work.
