Calouste Gulbenkian was an incredible man. 5% was his motto - in other words its better to take a small percentage of a lot of investments than a large percentage of a small investment. He became the world's richest man.
One of the many things he did was to establish the Gulbenkian museum in Lisboa. We went there to see the art exhibition....
Loved seeing Rodin ... and discovering Rene Lalique... BUT the most amazing thing was a surprise concert.... The Gulbenkian Orchestra conducted by Lorenzo Viotti and we got tickets... Wowee!
I had never heard of Lorenzo Viotti at 29 year old conductor who is BRILLIANT! Tchaicovski's 5th at you have never hear it before. In a theatre that reminded me of Tangle wood... bliss!
