This weekend the new 6-chenal Milq is not finished yet design-vise but functionally is already “there”. The amp was good enough to play with other 3-chenal Milq. Firstly for the last month I was able to listen full stereo from Macondo…. I spend some time with specific “targeted listening” regarding the nuisances that I was interested in. I made quit a number of exciting observations that will share as time goes by and then I decided to relax from audio and to listen some music. The electricity was not bad and the entire payback was responding not badly. Then, at 2PM, the WGBH kicked in….

In their “SymphonyCast” program the WGBH broadcasted Gergiev leading London Symphony with the 2007 Proms program. Gergiev is not my favorite guy and the Proms seldomly have interesting play but this time it was surprise. Gergiev brought all-Russian program:

Tchaikovsky: Romeo & Juliet Overture
Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 2 by Alexander Toradze
Tchaikovsky: Hamlet
Prokofiev: Symphony No. 7

The concert took place in August and WGBH broadcasted live-to-tape BBC recording. The sound was wonderful and as usually SymphonyCast has no abusive compression. The Prokofiev’s symphony was confusing as the Seven should be. The Hamlet was ornamented but boring – I heard more interesting play of this peace. The Second Piano Concerto was extremely appealing - it is seldomly played work and it is incredible complex and difficult. I need to hear it more and I tend to like what I heard; though there were many moments where Alexander Toradze was kind of “lost”. And then the very first piece that LSO and Gergiev played – it was the Romeo & Juliet Overture. That was nothing short of amazing – bold, meaningful and with great respect of own play – the phenomenal performance!

I have to tell that I have heard some new thing in the new Super Milq/Macondo that I liked very much and that I did not experience before. I hope it was not juts an “another good electricity day”…
