Many pianists with normal vision strike wrong notes, but the unseeing Ibay struck the right notes all evening! It is challenging enough to sing and accompany one’s self on the piano. But for a blind performer to do so defies comprehension. Ibay did not play and sing cursorily; he interpreted each piece with sensitivity, indeed, with passion.
