Thanks to our friend Ann we get to sit about 8 feet behind the conductor in the second row. The oboe, and the horns maybe even more, were amazingly haunting in the letter scene. It was of course sung in russian, and the translation was quite satisfying. They played the final scene with Tatiana really struggling to tear her hands away from Onegin. Is that how you see it? I thought she would be more resolute in her decision.
As always I am amazed how much bass and midrange dominate the sound. Huge power from the basses and cellos, and of course zero high frequency irritation. This sound would never make it in Hi-Fi!
