"To me," she says, "that's the greatest compliment because it means that I am somehow able to communicate that spirit to the audience."

		When Sharon Isbin played through Francisco Tárrega's famous Capricho árabe early in her concert, she was providing an invaluably beautiful moment of refuge from all that noise outside.
		This occasional awkwardness may have resulted simply because two musical worlds were colliding: Isbin adhered quite stiffly to the rigors of a fully notated score, while de Mello, maintained the comfortable sovereignty of a born improvisor.
		Despite these sporadic moments of discomfort, Isbin and de Mello were able to maintain a surreal unity of atmosphere throughout the evening, providing many a moment of lyrical momentum and harmonic suavity.
