Adès: In Seven Days
Kirill Gerstein
LPO/ the composer
Didn’t see any comment on this rather intriguing work broadcast the other night. No masterpiece perhaps, but it held my interest and has invited me back. A pianistic tour de force for sure. Some of the climaxes feel a bit splashy and generalised.

Since I am new and could not find a place for new member intros, I'll note some of my musical interests. First, I play no instrument and am a musical ignoramus, but love listening. I am actually a huge opera fan and that is what I mostly listen to. Some favorites include Bellini's La Sonnambula, Flotow's Martha, Mascagni's L'amico Fritz (where I got my username), Beethoven's Fidelio, Wagner (Ring, Hollander, and others), Verdi's Il Trovatore, Puccini's La Fanciulla del West, Donizetti's Maria Stuarda, Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, Tchaicovsky's Eugene Onegin, Weber's Der Freischutz, ...
I also like Handel's Messiah, Haydn's Creation, Mendelssohn's Elijah, all the symphonies of Beethoven, Mahler, Mendelssohn, Saint-Saens, and Rachmaninov.

That's quite an eclectic mix.
I'm sure you'll find plenty of threads to contribute to.
There is a 'Hello' thread in the 'Welcome' section (second from top on the home page); what you've done is fine, though you can also introduce yourself there.
