Music patron Marybeth Lopez de Leon presented virtuoso violinist Diomedes Saraza Jr. in a recital at her elegant residence. The opening “Salud de Amor” and “Tango” were brisk interpretations that instantly manifested Saraza’s assurance, confidence, authority and superb fluency. With his distinct grasp of form and content, he infused all the pieces, among them “Salud de Amor,” “Tango” and “Hear Me Lord,” with dramatic expressiveness. Further, his tones—luminous, rich in color, sonorous, shimmering—fascinated throughout.
