sufjan's kennedy center show on 2.5.07

the few you tube videos show a performance that works well at times, but also has some weak points. overall it seems like sufjan's music sounds best when performed by his own mini-orchestra, rather than the kennedy center orchestra. the orchestra overwhelms sufjan's voice on several songs. you tube also has video from sufjan's show at the zellerbach auditorium (uc berkeley) on 10.11.06 - worth watching in relation to the kennedy center performance. the zellerbach show was with the sufjan orchestra, and it's perfect.
