In the Concertgebouw I listened to <a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?p=3448\">Maria Pires<\/a>, playing Beethoven. She got an ovational applause which she rightly deserved. With a friend I went to the Gauguin, Bonnard &amp; Denis exhibition in the Amsterdam Hermitage museum. A bit disappointing, although the museum itself is worth a visit. Another concert was given in the impressive Neo-Gothic Dominicus church in Amsterdam. My friend Yolanda sings in a choir, they performed works by Bach and Mozart. Beautiful music, especially the Bach cantata\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vqqFQGV-H54\">Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir<\/a>\u00a0.
