Strikingly Beautiful

It's like coming across two beauties, in one week.

1) Maxim Vengerov -- violin master class on the art of encores by the energetic prodigy.
Seeing him, it naturally became apparent when music is alive, where the pieces are vivid, and why all of these is well worth our ecstasy.

2) Louis Kahn, in "My architect, a Son's Journey".
Two hours full of beautiful shots, from the Salk institute, Indian Institute of Management, National Assembly Building of Bangladesh, or just the little house he build in the suburb of Philadelphia. Also beautiful is the making of this documentary, it's a charcol sketch of the main subject, succint, vivid, exposing beauty and shorcomings directly.

These are not only visual and aural enjoyments, but food for thought as well.
