(Latvijas Nacionālais Teātris, 24 July 2021)
A plaque on a building that was JFK's home in Riga for a couple of days in 1939 attributes to him the poetic observation "Latvians will always reach upwards." True to JFK's prophecy, Raimonds Pauls and Elīna Garanča created new music and reinterpreted old music for the evening, instead of choosing to recycle their old hits. One can ever hope to go far only if one keeps walking. The evening illustrates how come both have gone so far and why they fully deserve the acclaim.
