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

[ritter]

Nice!

Have a good time, Rafael!

Thanks guys! The only time I've seen Bychkov live (Elektra in Madrid's Teatro Real), he was outstanding, so I'm really looking frward to this one ...

But, in the meantime, I've bought tickets for tomorrow evening to see Luigi Boccherini's Clementina (the composer's only work for the stage), conducted by Andrea Marcon and staged by Mario Gas at the Teatro de la Zarzuela...

Friends and Rivals
Cynthia Miller Freivogel, violinist-leader



Handel, Telemann, and J.S. Bach: were they friends or rivals . . . or a little of both? Our season finale features superb works by these contrasting 18th-century masters, interwoven with stories of their intriguing interactions. Handel's Concerto Grosso in F major; Telemann's Concerto for Recorder and Flute; and Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 (version for strings and continuo). David Rutherford from CPR Classical joins us as host, providing stories and commentary.

Yes, wonderful pianist. This will be my fourth time hearing him live. He was superb on all three previous occasions: Brahms' 1st with Belgrade Phil, Franck Sym.Variations with Toulouse/Sokhiev and Waldstein/Franck PC&F/Debussy/Albeniz recital.

At your service, sir!

Don´t envy me, though: due to dire financial straits mixed with other priorities I´ll salivate as much as you, particularly over the Yuja Wang / Michael Tilson Thomas / SFSO concert.

Really sorry to hear that  The SFSO/MTT is indeed a winning combination, I've heard them some years ago in Athens in 2 concerts with Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet, Sibelius' 2nd and Copland's Orchestral Variations. Try not to miss them

If I win the lottery I´ll go. 

Seriously now, I might go eventually, it´s too good to be missed after all.
