Wow, two concerts on a row and both are phenomenal. On Friday
NY Philharmonic showed off some very serious Bruckner and last night Boston Philharmonic
delivered an absolute thrill with Rachmaninoff second symphony. The first part
they did Mozart's Sinfonia concertante for Violin and Viola but I was devilishly
tired and know that need to sleep ether during Mozart or during Rachmaninoff. I
chose Mozart and I shamelessly slept during the whole 3 movements. For Rachmaninoff I was "refreshed"
and O, Boy!!! what Rachmaninoff the BPO showed!!! Not that I agree with everything
that Zander did, particularly during the last movement but you seldom hear that
level of play, particularly this work and from a western orchestra. After the concern
Amy was expected I to do my customary bitching and complaining but I told her
that it was probably one of the best plays I heard from her orchestra. I am
sure that she instantly diagnosed me with a brain cancer and has scheduled me
for testing…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
