 I am going to the Concertgebouw this coming Friday for a concert given by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under Peter Eötvös. On the menu:


Lutoslawski, Jeux vénitiens
Murail, Pianoconcerto 'Le désenchantement du monde'
Ives, Fourth Symphony


The concert is part of a small Amsterdam festival around the theme of Order and Chaos. I have contributed a 200-word piece about it to the program, so I get in for 'nuttin'...

John! You have finally found a concert you want to go to! Book it right now, without hesitation!! Runnicles is a great conductor, I'm sure he would deliver some very wonderful performances.

Yeah, Daniel. This looks like a great concert but I don't know if I'll attend or not. It depends on what I have going on during this time. If I do decide to attend then I'll book a month or two in advance.

[cjvinthechair]

Rodion Shchedrin: Concerto No.2 for orchestra (The Chimes) (London premiere)
Nicolay Yakovlevich Myaskovsky: Silentium, Op.9 (London premiere)
Interval
Edison Denisov: Bells in the fog (London premiere)
Sergey Rachmaninov: The Bells (Choral Symphony)

Anyone going to this wonderful 'bell-themed' concert at the Royal Festival Hall on Sept. 29th ? For a 'Russian' fan, & a lover of hearing something rarely performed, the first 3 take the cake, & of course the Rach. is just fabulous anyway !

Yep. Looks like a fine program (even though mostly too lyrical to be "avant garde" and "edgy"). I heard Runnicles several times when he led the San Francisco Opera  and always enjoyed the performances. (including a particularly memorable Rake's Progress, more suited to your predispositions than Mozart, I'd wager)
