Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 2 by M Lai
這是賴醫師千金在母親節與管弦樂團表演時的一段時況。其雙手輕柔如一雙白鶴,從池畔慢慢展翅高飛,攝影大師徐啟祥先生捕捉到的優美鏡頭!
賴怡君女士台風優雅,琴藝高超,不愧是茱麗亞音樂院的鋼琴專業高才生,難怪曾獲多項鋼琴大賽的首獎。此次由汪大衛指揮的管弦樂團協奏演出貝多芬鋼琴協奏曲第二號降B大調 Op.19,非常成功!是日整個 Eisemann 會場爆滿!

Dr. Lai's recent works

Finally we have the chance to enjoy Dr. Lai's new photographs taken during recent several trips to Ennis, Terrell, Tylar and Richardson Breckinridge Park. He put all his recent pictures into a new album regardless of time and places taken.
Being a part-time pro photographer, each piece of his works has been carefully impregnated the mind with poetic grace.
Being a part-time pro photographer, each piece of his works has been carefully impregnated the mind with poetic grace.
等候多時,終於可以欣賞到賴醫師的大作了。他把近幾次的作品,集中放在一本相簿裡,不分時地。
細觀這些作品,我們不難體會到,賴醫師對每一幅照片,都經過其嚴謹地挑選與處理過。 大師級一絲不苟的態度,令人欽佩!

這些照片,張張優美,富濃郁詩情畫意。看他的作品,如聆聽他在朗誦一首詩。
