Conventional wisdom says the public stays away from singers' concerts.
That's not true. This proved true again Sunday night, when a good crowd came early and stayed late to hear American tenor Neil Shicoff and Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel at the Hollywood Bowl. Returning to the Cahuenga Pass after an absence of 15 years, Shicoff shared the stage with a Bowl debutant, the justifiably touted Terfel. The two men made an odd stage couple, yet both related genially to each other and to the audience. Equally important, they sang with fervor, and entertainingly.
