Tomorrow, in my backyard: Australian Youth Orchestra under David Robertson:
  • Sculthorpe - Earth Cry (with William Barton, digeridoo)
  • Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto (with Christian Li)
  • Rimsky-Korsakov - Sheherazade
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

The didgeridoo player, the famous William Barton, was one of the reasons I went to this concert. He put on a fantastic show, with two completely different didgeridoos, and Earth Cry came to life for me more than ever before.  :)

Shame they didn't stream it - I can't speak to the interpretations, but the technique was dazzling.  I'd certainly take any opportunity to hear him in performance, regardless of repertoire. :)

Just bought a ticket for the Proms concert on Friday night at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with Yazuki Yamada conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Singers.

I don't really care much for the first half of the programme, TBH (John Adam's The Chairman Dances and Rachmaninov's PC No. 4 --with Yunchan Lim as soloist) but, in the second part, we get.... Luciano Berio's Sinfonia! First time I'll be hearing this masterpiece live in concert!  :)

So cool! I like that they placed it last, as the finale. In the Berio thread, I posted an upcoming livestreamed performance in September, but as usual, Sinfonia is sandwiched in the middle. Will be interested in your report, not only of the music, but whether people stealthily tiptoe out at the interval.

In any case, have a great time.
