What concerts are you looking forward to? (Part II)

[jochanaan]

Interesting that the soprano is Russian, the tenor English, and the baritone German--just as in the first recording.

[Archaic Torso of Apollo]

Also had the wonderful pleasure of meeting fellow GMG'r velimir and his wife at the opera. Lovely folk.

Yes, nice meeting you too. A shame I missed half the opera, but I expect it won't be either my last opera or even my last Wagner there...

Tonight, the JACK Quartet in this, c. 1 hour, 20 minutes - performed in total darkness:

Georg Friedrich Haas: In iij. Noct., String Quartet No. 3

--Bruce

[bhodges]

Wish I could be there - G. F. Haas is a composer I am very interested in, and the JACK Quartet should do a superb job with the music.

Have just heard it once before - also with the JACK guys - and yes, quite an astonishing experience (and not the least of it was imagining how they play together without any visual cues). But this time I am reviewing it, so will try to remember to post the link here.

Tomorrow:
Leo McFall & Oulu Symphony
Henri Sigfridsson (piano)

Smetana: Sárka (from Má Vlast)
Liszt: PC no. 2
Dvořák: Symphony no. 8

Yes, very nice. I could see Dvorak's 8th over and over in concert and never tire of it. Hope you enjoy!

[North Star]

Nice!

Yes, very nice. I could see Dvorak's 8th over and over in concert and never tire of it. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Karl & Greg! Yes, Dvorak's 8th is definitely the most interesting piece in the program for me, although Sigfridsson ought to be brilliant in the Liszt.

[Brian]

Hey MIRROR IMAGE, this is just further evidence that you need to move to England:

VIOLIN James Dickenson
PIANO Adam Johnson
Northern Lights Symphony Orchestra
B. BRITTEN Matinées Musicales Op. 24 (Excerpts)
F. DELIUS Intermezzo From Fennimore And Gerda
R. MILFORD Violin Concerto
W. ALWYN Symphony No. 4 (1959)

[North Star]

Tomorrow:
Leo McFall & Oulu Symphony
Henri Sigfridsson (piano)

Smetana: Sárka (from Má Vlast)
Liszt: PC no. 2
Dvořák: Symphony no. 8

Very enjoyable concert indeed. Excellent playing from the orchestra (strings in the Smetana in particular), and Sigfriddson, who played Sibelius's Spruce as an encore. I enjoyed the Dvořák most, but then, I don't know the other pieces as well.

I see that Andreas Staier is coming to Osaka next week to play some Mozart. Perhaps I shouldn't miss this opportunity!

Was playing percussion in a brilliant programme yesterday:
Holst Perfect Fool Suite
Britten Sinfonia da Requiem
Saint Saens Organ Symphony


Was on cymbals/tam tam for the Holst, snare drum/whip/tambourine for the Britten, and bass drum for the Saint Saens. Had a blast of a time!

Last week, also played percussion in the Britten St Nicholas cantata, lovely piece.

Sounds like fun, Daniel. Glad to hear you're having so much fun performing.

Thanks, Greg! The Dies Irae from the Britten was challenge, but one of the most exciting things to do!

[kyjo]

That is a great, varied programme! 

Indeed! Only the cello parts for the Smetana and Khachaturian pieces aren't the most eventful out there. They're still great pieces, though!
