Is it just me or does the soloist sound as if he is desperate to get this performance over and done with?
I thought the orchestra and conductor did well to follow such an idiosyncratic soloist.Last edited by pastoralguy; 07-09-14, 15:17.

"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

I'd like to be watching but Beethoven 9 beckons...
Actually, turned off last movt. of the ninth. Watching Tchaikovsky five.

Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostNot a judgement just a sigh. She is such a great 'cellist that it would be a crime if she let her playing diminish for the sake of being a second string conductor. Having said that, I was impressed by that concert. (Except the soloist!)

I know there is chamber music, but the opportunity to be involved with orchestral repertoire after years of learning and performing a small number of works must be very strong .
Low start up costs too.Flog the top of the range cello for a million, and buy a nice baton for £20, and you're laughing.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

Han Na Chang is sexy too I reckon (is it ok to say that ?).
Please go and wash your mouth out with 'Listerine' or something similar.
